    That's just a hypothetical between the two

    I don't want either of them really. I want guys that can play defense.

    Demar DeRozan (SG, lifetime 28% 3pt) is an all-star who just got 133M guaranteed.

    I don't see who would be gone; Aminu plays best at PF, Turner at SF... It just means we're not starting Vonleh, and Hark is coming off the bench.

    This is why we have discussed trading for Turner for the last few years. We needed a big guard who could also handle the ball.
    In theory this move makes a lot of sense. Of course the proof is in the pudding.

    Because of the outcry? Or the player?

    Turner is a very good player, so good. BUTTTTTTTTTT, we already have a team full of very good players. Aminu, Crabbe, Harkless, Plumlee, Davis... very good, very good, all very good! What we NEED imho is a third Fantastic player. That's why I made my "A-list" thread. Turner isn't on my or anyone else's A-list. The blazers are a very good team, that just got incrementally better, but incrementally better is not good enough. So, overall, my feeling is.........

    If it makes you feel any better, we made the playoffs this year AND got the #2 pick



    in the 2010 draft.

    I like it. Turner is 27 and very athletic. Good dude too. We need inside help but this was a good signing.

    After losing the whole core before last season...this is nothin'...people were pissed about Ed Davis, Chief, Mo and Henderson last year...turned out better than anyone thought..I figure this year will be another one of those, better than we thought roster adjustments. Only one superstar won a championship this year.

    And Turner shot 52% from three pointers in the last two months of the season.

    It's a constant battle between sample size and recent data... but in the case of both of those guys, they aren't good three point shooters, and that's BrianFromWA's point.

    OK I may be a little biased. I used to go every January for work, and the ice storms could be brutal. Over all the winters are not bad.
