    Neil says things; they rarely correlate to what he does. He told Bledsoe he was a Clipper for life a week before he traded him; same with Camby. He says what he has to, and does what he has to.

    CJ isn't close to untouchable by all means but I do think Neil is being serious here. He sees him behind the scenes and I think that is where CJ shines so far. Hopefully that moves to front stage next year.

    I still prefer CJ over dribble, dribble, dribble, and if there is still time shoot Mo Williams

    All the talk about his rookie year as a sensational talent did not preclude his ability to ignite good game stats in only 9 minutes per game average. I say give him a chance to contribute more since Aldridge is on the bench for 2 monthes. Lets see if he steps up when we need bench players the most

    With RLopez on the mend and with his contribution we can find win streaks again . No one has more heart than him. Even his hair expresses that.
    Side Note: That Boston loss @ home hurt. BTW I'm a member in the Ravens forum. I'll inform me fellow Blazers bud in there about this cool forum.

    I can't believe anyone ever called CJ a "sensational talent". LOL

    He also is not, as some might suggest, "garbage".

    I didn't get to see CJ in his minutes tonight. From the stats, it doesn't look like he did much....

    Also looks like Crabbe got some minutes, and had a rough night.

    Crazy how a guy who went from playing pretty regularly and then gets sat down for inexplicable (at least to the fans) reasons and then is thrust back in the rotation is going to struggle. Absolutely crazy.

    Only 6 min. tonight but he managed to put up 0/0/0/0 and was a minus-three.

    Impressive.

    Not really fair. It isn't as if he was the only one who sucked tonight and has sucked for weeks now.

    Like I said, it's about consistency. After his one good game this season this thread was bumped quickly.

    Since that one game?

    Dude needs to get traded to a rebuilding team for a vet so that he can actually get some playing time in an environment where they don't care if they win or not.

    He's a Juan Dixon level talent.

    He's not even that right now. He's not even Alonzo Gee.

    He has yet to show any qualities that he showed coming into the draft. His lethal step-back? Nope. His ability to shoot off screens. Nope. He was touted as the best scorer in the draft and in two years his PER-100 doesn't even crack the 20 PPG mark - even Juan Dixon didn't suck that much.

    Maybe one day the switch will flip out of nowhere like it did with Meyers.

    Juan Dixon was a good clutch scorer. But as a 6-3, 164 pound Shooting Guard, he got stopped unless he had a clear path.

    The first time I watched McCollum was his first Summer League game. I announced to the board that he was no Lillard, because that's what everyone expected Olshey to produce every year. Few believed me because McCollum was about the 5th highest scorer in the SL (because he was our featured scorer that summer), but he sucked as a shooter almost as much as he sucked as a playmaker.

    But like Bayless, he'll be in the league for years. He's not Armon Johnson-bad.

    I have to admit I had much more confidence that Meyers would develop into a valuable player than I have for CJ. (For one thing, Meyers' size and talent are extremely hard to find, while tweener guards are a dime a dozen.)

    While I would not hesitate to include CJ in a trade that will help us in the playoffs now, I also wouldn't just give up on him and dump him like some here seem to be advocating. There is still the chance CJ's game will tighten up.
