Nelson is a worse player but younger and, I suppose, a better "fit" due to his perimeter shooting. So, this would be a fairly unexciting deal to me. A talent downgrade, but longer-term certainty at the position that currently has no answers for when Miller moves on.
Nice! We need a PG that can hit the 3, and doesn't run like molasses. If only Oden could stay healthy.....
tribjazz Also: Blazers have a couple offers, but they're in driver's seat. Batum not likely to be dealt. Read more NBA news and insight: http://www.hoopsworld.com/#ixzz1Q89LY9l0
A good player, or Raymond Felton? He had a nice (but not outstanding) PER with part of one season with the Knicks... other than that he's been below-average as a starting PG. Ed O.
Ugh...this deal is not good. Jameer is a short chucker who can't play defense. There's no certainty with him either, he's never played a full season in his career and has had consistently lower PERs than Miller.
