But that language is factually correct.

He is nothing like Trout on the floor, so I agree with you on that. Odom as backup PF? Would certainly work functionally.

I prefer Travis by an incomparable amount.

I vote no on your plan, prefer cheaper people like Bass.

If KP believes Bayless is the “PG of the future” & is capable of becoming that, I think the smartest move is decline Blake’s team option & sign Jason Kidd. Still one of the best at rebounding & passing. Better defender then Blake. Provides a great mentor & will help Bayless’s all around game.

If KP thinks Bayless is more of a scorer off the bench like Vinnie “The Microwave” Johnson"(At the present time, might be a complete player down the road), try & trade for Kirk Hinrich.

If KP covets a PG(In the draft or on another team) go after them with all ya got; Blake, Bayless, Sergio, Outlaw, Webster, 1st round pick, 2nd round picks

How about the Blazers learn how to scout the later picks of the 1st round. There are some quality forwards available, Gibson, James or Seraphin. All three if I had my way. :p

Current thinking among Laker fans is they’re gonna pay the man. He’s happy there and they have a high payroll but also a wide revenue river…

Keeping Trevor Ariza is more sketchy. And Shannon Brown is the one you might be able to sneak away from them.

Funny how Blazerfans switch our flavor of the month so often. Conley, Sessions, Turkoglu, Heinrich, etc. etc.

I think we need to do something, but luring Turk away from the Magic is not our answer. The guy is a soft Euro that is terrible on D and really hasnt been a great player in the playoffs. He has just killed against some weak competition. Odom is going to dominate him. And at 10+ million a year, I would rather stick with Catfish.

If Memphis takes Rubio, I really think we have to make a push at Conley (trading T.O, etc.) and then either roll with Martell and Batum, grab a free agent SF, or trade for a quality SF.

The idea of Jason Kidd or Nash coming in as some sort of Mentor just seems stupid to me. They will want money, and they solve nothing long term and take away from developing Bayless or any other young PG. Blake is old enough.

BUT NO TURK. Watch this Finals series and tell me that guy gets us over the hump. No thanks.

That is a mess of minutes to give out.

I would have a Dartboard with everyones pictures except Oden, Roy, and LA.

I’d do it game to game, it would be entertaining.

Everybody wants to upgrade, but then everybody complains about the lack of minutes and logjams.

The only way to solve this is to trade or release a bunch of guys, as we already have too many talented NBA-level players. But then everybody complains that you are gutting the core of the team, which seems to be 7-10 players depending on how you ask.

Personally, I want a defensive stopper in their at PF, and someone with a low post game who rebounds hard on the defensive end. In other words NOT another LMA or LMA clone (Channing — love you but, man).

So, you upgrade, and they can’t see it. You keep Trout, and they can’t see it.

Odom is a really good basketball player. He understands how to play the game right. I think that he could be lured from LA as K*be is a cancer and Odom is underappreciated. I like the Odom idea, but I expect us to get a lower level journeyman 4 who can bang and gives us a different look when we need it in our offensive sets.

I don’t see this.

best idea yet.

You didn’t have an “interesting idea and it’d be funny to hear them call the names”.

Odom is a baller. Odom fits our needs. I don’t know that Odom fits the team. Still, I’ve been less than interested by other ideas out there, so I suppose i could classify this as most the best idea yet. At least at the SF position. The kirk idea is interesting too, and Snagging lee somehow would be cool.
