Someone i think we should look in to

after last night some people may think I am crazy...but the guy really can play and I think woud fit perfectly with us.

Iman Shumpert....guy is a good 3 pt shooter, real good defender and very very athletic. complained last night about how there is no ball movement and could be had for cheap right now. plus hes young. it depends on what we would have to give up but having him come off the bench for us with mo Williams strictly running the back up pg we would be sooo tough. it would help our defense out no doubt.
Wesley Matthews has to come back to earth eventually, doesn't he?

 

We will give them Leonard!

 

He's a total train-wreck this year. Maybe it's just a confidence issue or something fixable, but I'd be in no hurry to go after him.

 

I don't think we should make any trades. Bring back CJ when he's healthy and let the lineup work itself out. It's going to be hard enough finding minutes for CJ.

 

this is why I think its a good time to go after him. dude is talented but he hates being on the knicks and sound like he hates playin with carmelo

 

OK ... but what does it say about his mental toughness if he can't produce when things aren't going exactly his way? That sounds more like a prima donna to me than a competitor.

 

To get Meyers out of town I would sign up for anyone decent

 

The thing is, our starting rotation is set, so that means you're looking for pieces to come off the bench. Realistically, what do we need on our bench? Mo and Wright are the scorers, and when CJ comes back he'll help with that role, so what else would you target as a need? Freeland is the gritty big, Robinson is the enigmatic athlete, and then we have a few guys that can punch in when needed like Barton and Watson.

 

So our third-string center is a priority to trade?

 

hes an above average defender also. he would fit in perfect with our flow offense as well. a strong wing to come off the bench I think is something we are still missing. in all honestly I don't think cj is going to see the floor much when he comes back

 

I really don't think it would be a problem. did you see the entire knicks team last night? they all looked checked out. I don't think its him being a prima donna...I think its just bad culture through out the organization

 

I don't watch the Knicks enough to say for sure.

 

I really just think that the he would buy into the culture and chemistry of our team

 

Why? What gives you confidence to believe that? It seems like you'd actually have to know a person and talk with them to get that.

 

I have heard he was pretty good. I did not see it last night though. I was expecting more. In any case I assume he is decent, but I think the Knicks are hoping for more in return than what they will get.

 

We don't need more guards. Our guard rotation is excellent and set. Matthews is an outstanding 3-point shooter and an excellent defender. He's a great teammate, fits in well and plays with a lot of heart.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

No thanks. Shumpert wouldn't even be a good backup for Wesley. Keep what we have. There is a reason Knicks are 3-10 - their players suck. There is a reason we are 13-2 - our players don't.

Things are going great for the Blazers now and you hate to mess with anything (or even think about it) during an 11 game win streak.

But last night showed me that the bench needs more help than I thought. Besides Mo, Stotts isn't real comfortable playing someone over 25 minutes a game. Without Mo getting his 30 min/game, starters had to play more minutes (Mo's production made up by starters not bench players). Also points off the bench went back to looking like last year.

I think the Blazers need 1 more guy they can play about 20-25 minutes a game to lower the starters minutes. I thought Wright or T-Rob would be that player, but they don't seem to be doing the job enough for Stotts to feel comfortable leaving them on the court for extended periods of time.

Love the game last night, but raised concerns about how thin the Blazers are.

 

Horrible idea

 

Didn't he have knee surgery this off season and tried to hide the fact from the Knicks?
