"Showtime" NOT that efficient

Riles is the innovator, he'll fine tune the offense in no time...its the defense that needs work...

But not to his face. He'll strangle you.

Yeah, and incite a brawl that'll go into the stands...

Alright. Just saying that having a guy at center who can block shots and rebound can really help a fast break team. He wouldn't get a lot of offensive touches, because the goal is to get the quickest, best shot. In the half court he can save possessions with his offensive rebounding, which is good on a team of streaky shooters.

Also, I think that Riley could motivate the hell out of him, and he would look a lot better than he does in Chicago. But, if you guys don't like him, you don't like him.

I think Ben can be very good on this team, with Blount backing him up, I just don't like his contract.

I love Sergio Rodriguez and the Blazers eventually have to make a move to open up spots on their roster. You have to assume that at some point Jack or Sergio will be on the move. I'm not sure what we can do to get him...maybe an expiring. How many years does Miles have left?

I'm still upset that the Blazers got Sergio for next to nothing from the Suns.

If you want a solid, young PG just grab a pick from the Suns. They've given up Rondo, Koponnen and Rodriguez.

Yep because you and Ben KNEW that inviting Ron to give him his best shot right then and there on the court would cause Ron to run up into the stands and beat up paying customers. :lol:

Good assesstment.

Am not sure if Ben is the answer though, he seems to have loss some of his athletic ability and is to expensive to take a risk on, but anything is better, than having Blount playing defense. That is for sure.
