    If Blazers resign Mo, then back up PG taken care of. But Mo is looking for as much money as possible as he considers this his last contract. He has mentioned something about a 3 yr contract. (Lots of teams with money pout there)

    I don't think locking up Mo as a back up PG is a given . . .. also surprised others aren't talking about backup PG because Mo got dogged on here almost as much as Batum last season.

    I hope they resign Mo (at a reasonable rate) . . . but if they don't, think you got to use your MLE on the backup PG. What backup PG would you trust on a minimum salary . . . especially with Lillard enjoying playing off the ball at times.



    Edit: never mind . . . looks like PG leads the poll

    I think the obvious answer is a PG.

    CJ is a SG. He's a gunner and I see him as our future Manu.

    You'd have to throw the full-MLE but the best options out there are Patty and Sergio Rodriguez -- who says he'd come over if the fit/situation is right.

    I'd love to see Sergio come back. I think he'd be a great fit. Where'd you hear he's looking to come back to the NBA?

    It looks like Collison was making $1,985,500 last year for the Clippers. Good call for him to opt out - 11.4 ppg, 3.7 apg, 46.7% fg, 37.6% 3pt. He should be seeing a pretty big pay raise. Clippers are going to be close to the tax line. I wonder how much they're willing to spend to keep him. Is he worth the full MLE?

    Looks like we indeed went C then PG. Considering that Dame is going to play more minutes than RoLo it makes sense. Blake is a decent defender.
