    I'm sure Cho would look into acquiring Felton if that deal goes down. I think he'd be a nice fit.

    Im liking felton a lot more this year. Last year I wasn't' that high on him but his shooting is up and his passing seems better

    I can't decide if it's Felton that has improved, or if it's the offense he plays in.

    Didn't take that into account when I posted. I;v really only looked at his stats and didn't think it could be because of the run and gun system.

    It's entirely possible that he is playing better now that he is freed from the Bobcats as much as it is now he is in New York.

    Larry Brown is famous for riding point guards constantly.

    This trade keeps getting more convoluted. Maybe Felton to NJ and Harris to PDX?

    Then how would he do under Nate? Nate has bottled up PG's ever since he has been in Portland. He tried it with Miller, but Andre basically told him to go to hell, and does his own thing

    An interesting question but one that will never be answered since there isn't any chance at all that Portland gets Felton.

    I am guessing Felton would do just fine as long as he played some defense.
    Nate seems to let dudes freelance a bit more on offense if they play D.

    Felton played pretty well last year under Larry Brown, he finally defends, he's turned himself into a passable shooter (though his percentages have suffered under D'Antoni) and he does run an offense pretty well regardless of pace.

    I don't know what the Knicks would want for him, but the Blazers could do a lot worse.

    felton is pretty ordinary - decent passer but not a defensive stopper and has never shot a high percentage. he would be more of a downgrade from miller than harris. PGs of his caliber aren't that hard to come by. i would rather re-up miller and try for a real solution in 2012 that compromise on someone like felton.
