i liked the pick.  he has potential & i'd much rather them draft a guy like that than lawson, aka sherman douglas jr., who will be serviceable at best.

and there's a rumor about miller going to portland for blake & outlaw via s&t.  we'll see.

this rumor probably has some legs.  Ric Bucher posted on his twitter that Millers agent is adamant about a 3 year deal at $30 million. I cant see Stefanski doing 3 years...it doesnt make sense.

Bringing Miller over in a sign and trade gives Portland the cap flexibility to sign Hedu straight up.

I like the sign and trade. Blake has his best year as pro last year and has already ran the Princeton offense. He shot very well beyond 3 as well and Outlaw could add some very nice depth off the bench.

3 years for Andre Miller is laughable, I don't want them to resign him anyway, especially not at that price.

lol @ signing ol face andre

Seriously??? Lawson over Jrue??  You realize he is, at best, a 15 minute per game point guard.  Not to mention he has a ridiculous injury history.  I love the Jrue pick.  The guy is boom or bust, with a lot of potential.  Just like the Thad pick.. a guy with a lot of potential who fell because he had a bad freshmen year.  Jrue was playing out of position and in a system that didn't fit his style.  He's already an incredible defender. 

As for the Blake/Outlaw trade... a poster on another board has been on point with all his insider information the last few years.  This thing definitely has legs.  We are also trying to trade for Rip... but Detroit wants no part of it.

Additionally, we have tried to trade Sammy to just about any team, and no one wants him and his Billy King contract.

i dont really care about the jrew pick either way but i dont see boom with him at all...lets just hope its not a bust...everyone talkes upside with him because he has so far to go...but that doesnt mean his ceiling is ultimately that high

like i said when they drafted him he reminds me of royal ivey...dont get me wrong i think he hs the potential to be better than him but hes a very comparable player skill wise

i just dont see a lot of talent in jrew

[reese125]

out of position or not, he couldnt shoot a lick and that bothers me..even as a pg. There will plenty of times a play breaks down and he will be asked to pull up, matter of fact if you a top 10 talent you better have a pull up off the dribble..can he improve on that and do it consistently will be the big question.

This team already had one Eric Snow, and while he could defend his ass off Im over that.

[ice grillin you]

not only cant he shoot he doesnt appear to possess an ability to get by a lot of people either

he seems to have good vision thats the only plus skill ive noticed...granted without having seen a ton of him
