    You've never been impressed by him but you wanted him when we didn't have a center? Why would you want him if you weren't impressed by him?

    Oh Hell no do I want Jason Thompson! They would need to give us a draft pick to assume that contract. Jason signed it before last season $30 million for a backup PF when we already have TRob. That contract runs until 2017 and might push us into the luxury tax when we have to resign LaMarcus, Wes, Lopez, and give Lillard an extension. I don't want to lose a starter because we are interested in a 3rd string backup PF.

    Contracts don't really match up.

    I think Wright is better than he has shown. I think it's a ball movement issue. We need a backup point guard who doesn't take his teammates out of the game.

    It does seem that Mo has a vendetta against the ball and wants to pound it into submission for it's transgressions..

    I agree. We're not getting Wright the ball early enough when he's open.
