    You can say similar things about 30 players that aren't even on NBA rosters. If a team gave them tons of opportunities they'd produce. But winning teams don't have those opportunities available. Young players need to prove themselves just as Nic Batum did.

    I'm happy the Blazers are winning and can let crap teams such as the Celtics, Nuggets, Knicks, Lakers, 6ers take chances and lose games on developing fringe NBA players. Those teams can basically be the minor league for the winning organizations.

    Agree completely. triple A is the better player right now. I don't know what Barton's ceiling is.... Afflalo helps the team right now and I have no issues with trading away someone who might become a damn good NBA player. Or might turn into a jj barea type player.

    Yeah, we're in win now mode, Barton is doing well in a different situation that doesn't need to win.

    Regardless of whether Barton develops, he doesn't play the right style for the role we need.

    Meanwhile AAA is the perfect player at the right time for our offense and our needs.

    Win-win.
