You made pretty irrefutable points about CP3 vs. Collison although Collison's stats probably look worse then most as he WASN'T playing with CP3 where as others are inflated for the opposite reason. Rip would be a great add if he had ONE year shorter contract. I suppose he might be a decent lure to trade for CP3 down the road. He also would be a great pick up for strengthening the bench I agree. You know now that I think about it, he might be a nice trade chip for Carmelo or Chris Paul down the road. Something to think about. The Veteran savvy and ring don't hurt at all either. Worth thinking about Rasta. Repped.
As easily the best SG we have after Roy, and with Nate all but gone from the picture, I would expect a smart Blazers management to simply hang onto him and see how he likes our next coach's use of him. Unfortunately, the Blazers currently don't have a smart manager to speak of.
