Re: CJ as point. He will never be a pure PG but he can get better. Patrick Beverley was not much of PG in college. Deron Williams played alongside a PG in college. Both Currys (Seth and Stephen) have had to improve their PG skills. Jason Terry is another one.
How long is the process of waiving? That is, how long does it take to "clear waivers"? While "on" waivers, a player can be picked up by any team and they take on his entire salary, right? (Whereas, after he clears waivers he is a free agent and can sign anywhere he wants, right?)
Correct, not on this site, I am new here. My Leonard all-star predictions are on the Club Blazers site. I am not sure that site is still up? As a side note, I wanted Olshey to draft Leonard, but not CJ.
Talking of Dre: George Karl calls him the smartest guy he's ever coached and a top five passer all time. Sidenote: what is up with Lionel Hollins's pinkie!?
I do! One of the only on these boards who got into arguments on the side of Leonard during his huge-suck phase. However, I'm a homer idiot who also had posts prognosticating the greatness of Kleiza and E. Williams and I thought the 62nd injury to Oden would be one to finally fix him. We all screw up when peering into that scarlet and black crystal ball.
No to Prigioni. Too old. Coaches should do their work this year in rebuild time. I expect to see CJ get at least 13 of the 18 available minutes at PG in place of Lillard. Frazier may get 5. I want CJ to get as much PT as possible to determine his value and skills at this level. He either becomes productive for us, or he becomes trade bait. I hope he also gets PT at buSG.
Spurs are finalizing the signing of Jimmer Freddette right now...Elliot Williams is real close with Lamarcus. I think of him as an emerging guy who can create his own shot and is pretty athletic. Still like his game and him as a person. I think he's worth a look again for Portland
