Blazers trade for Robert Covington

[d-train]

RoCo has been a mediocre streak shooter his entire career. He only gets 7 shots a game and that's not enough to shoot his way out of a slump. He has to wallow in disappointment for days, sometimes weeks. Lillard, inside 1 game, can miss 10 in a row, then erase his 0-10 night by taking and making his next 7. And, every miss by RoCo is an unforgivable sin because he is wide open. Opponents don't guard our mediocre catch-and-shoot shooters because they are focused on the ball.

RoCo's job is to up our effort and defensive pressure on the ball. He does this extremely well every night.
