    Well we need a SF for Darius Miles Insurance and IMO we need a shooter which would equal to Jason Kapono, but Mr.Wallace proved he can score and shoot a little bit. our overall potential Starting 5 have no deadly shooters. so who should we go for

    I would go for Wallace mainly because he is just such a great defender and score a little rather than have all offense from Kapono but he would demand more money, which I'm not aware if Portland have?

    Kapano is ideal. I don't think you guys could get Wallace honestly.

    Yeah, the Blazers don't have the cap room for Wallace. They probably could get Kopono with the MLE, but I don't see him fitting much of a need for the Blazers. Outlaw's still got starting potential, Miles is coming back or could be dealt for another wing, Roy's got the starting two-guard spot on lock, and Webster's playing the role Kopono would as the spot-up shooter off the bench.

    Another big man could be a good addition with a MLE, because almost all the big men on their current roster are walking injury concerns, and they'll be loosing Jamaal Magloire in free agency. Maybe a veteran like P.J. Brown or Brian Skinner could be had. I love the young, talented frontcourt of Oden-Aldridge-Frye, but I don't trust any of them to get through an entire season.

    we still got joel godzilla through who is a great shot blocker

    Travis Outlaw IMO is better than Webster and hes Starter type IMO but we need a deadly shooter in the starting 5 and I heard something about Mr.James Jones but i dont trust him

    I think Kapono would be great for you guys but without a guy like Wade who penetrates the D like that and then kicks it out would he still be the same player he is in Miami? It's a gamble with Jason but he'd be a good fit.

    Yeah, I forgot you guys had both him and LaFrentz.

    Either way, Kapono was just signed by the Raptors -

    It's probably for the better, as his game is too similar to Webster's.

    I'm going to go ahead and remove his name from the thread title. [​IMG]
