OT: Blazers going to implode?

[Jimmy76]

Camby's defense is a little overrated(DPOY caliber), but he is a good post defender though.He is also one of the best rebounder, shot blocker in the league. I am not sure how he is an inefficient black hole on offense. He has decent range and is a good passer from the top of the key. I love what this team is doing right now, but I think we need a player like Camby to get to the another level. We have been gambling on the boards, a really good team can exploit us some nights. If only Lopez could grow into that "first big off the bench" role.

Bayless doesn't have the value to demand LB right now. He can't even get off the bench right now, I think healthy LB is nearly perfect fit for the bench.

His career 51 TS%, comments from the Nuggets, and watching him play make me think he is an inefficient black hole. He has been decently efficient so far this year but its by far the exception (who knows if it keeps up)and when he gets into chucker mode he makes Frye look like Nash.

He is a good rebounder and decent defender but I dont think its worth losing real assets to pick up an upgrade on Lopez (who we need to develop anyways)

Dre Miller was a bad signing for them. not the guard they needed

I didn't see why they couldn't promote from within. Sergio would have been a great starting PG in that system - in the sense that he wouldn't take away from the "pecking order" and could have blossomed into a great pass-first.

--- Yes indeed - I wish they would figure out what the hell they're doing with Sergio. I like the guy - hate to see him in limbo

Agree with the Ben Gordon idea - that would have been a merciless backcourt

Sergio plays for the Kings is having a great season in limited minutes.

I would LOVE to see the trailblazers implode lol


one less team in the west the suns have to worry about

As most said, Andre Miller was a bad signing, doesnt fit.

Roy was their main play maker, putting up 20/7 on most nights. Then they get a slow down ball in his hands guard in Miller.... not good.



They need to trade Miller for a SG, like Barbosa.
Do a 3 way if possible... I would love to see Bayless + pick or Fernandez for Barbosa.

Fernandez with Nash would be fantastic I think, can nail the 3 well, slash and do it all offensively. A Brent Barry-esque in his prime type of player, put that on the Suns and you get a semi-star/star.

Miller I think was a mistake. I think what they should have done is look at what the lakers have doen in putting certain PGS around Kobe. Guys that play D, can spot and shoot and can handle the ball if needed.

Hinrich would be nice player on this team. Prob the best option. Barbs would not work bc he needs the ball to be affective. Same with bayless. He has to have the ball to be an affective player on the court. That is why Blake has been a perfect fit for them, but they do need someone who is better. But their needs might be more at SF.

I hope they fall below us, but this team is still really young and has time to grow up together. Turk would ahve been a bad signing I think.

they seem to be in a bit of a funk right now but the season is early and there's plenty of time to right the ship by season's end.

Blake has been awful yet McMillan keeps playing him - we fans just do not get it. Miller has yet to start one game with Roy at SF and an SF at SF. Bayless has looked very good in very limited minutes yet Nate won't develop him - he sticks with his pet Blake. We POR fans are goin nuts over this crap.
