It isnt a big secret that the Blazers might like a backup 4 that doesent play like a 3rd string 2 (Sorry Channing, but at least you are a first rate dude.), but the BE is divided on which way to go, vet that we have to pay a premium on i.e. Brandon Bass or McDyess, or drafting our way to a backup 4:Hansbrough, Penedegraph, Brockman, Blair etc.

Perhaps we take KPs "another man's trash" approach and see if Sean May has anything left in the tank. He is a decent rebounder as evidenced by his career at UNC where he had a junior year TMR% of 26.5%, and was getting over a point per possession as well with a PER of 32.6 and even posted a PER of 19.2 for the cats in 07/08.

On the downside he has battled weight issues that have led to injury issues throughout his NBA career, but on the upside we could probably get him on the ridiculously cheap side of the coin and maybe on a partial guarantee.

Would anyone be offended by this move? Anyone thinks this at least borders on the "not a terrible idea" idea?

We have enough resources to not need to Pick up anyones trash

We will trade for trash if it costs us little. The quality players will be picked up first and then we can look at gems with tarnish on them, to fill out the roster

why use assets

for trash?

even if we go over cap in a lop sided trade we could still sign him. Consider this some preemptive gem mining.

He's the kind of guy I would bring in for a workout,

See how he looks health/weight wise. At his prime, he’d be a great backup PF, but I don’t know how far he’s deteriorated… I mean, if the Bobcat’s waived him… ouch…

they waived him

as he is not worth his qualifying offer

I suggested that a while ago as a potential move since it was clear May wouldn't get the QO

Then again May is Blair’s absolute bottom, so I would put him somewhere at the bottom of our priorities list.

I guess that bottom

also includes the Sweetneys, and Oliver Millers of the league

but yeah, he would be low priority

bringing him in for a workout wouldn't hurt.

"There are a few teams you have to watch out for in the fourth quarter."
"Yeah, but Portland definitely is not one of them."

-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters at the end of the third quarter with the Hornets leading 74-59. Portland later ends up winning 97-89.

"They don't mind him shooting that shot at all. Rudy Fernandez is not that great of a 3pt shooter."

-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters right after a Rudy Fernandez missed 3pter. Rudy Fernandez finished the game with three 3pters on six attempts.

if KP signs him Id fine with that

The Bobcats want him back, they just want him for cheaper. so its not like he doesnt belong in the league. realisticly how many better players will want to come here to play behind LMA, Pryz, and Oden? something tells my McDyess, Bass, Anderson, and others at their skill level wont. look what it did to Fryes career (which certainly is no favors). May maybe the type of player we get if we decide not to draft a 4.

if thats the case let May and Freeland fight over the spot in a old WCW Halloween Havoc Cage match ala the Dungeon of Doom VS the Four Horseman. with all the profits going towards Toys for Tots. If you dissagree with this idea you hate children.

C*mcast sucks!

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
