Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

"However, Vartanian says Millsap is more than just a blue-collar bruiser inside. He says he can play three positions - small forward, power forward and center - and has an outside shot that was rarely, if ever seen in Utah because coach Jerry Sloan wanted him to anchor the paint."

Ok, this article gets me excited about Millsap. Combined with the word out of Utah that it might be hard to move Boozer and match Millsap, I'm starting to get my hopes up a little that we might actually get Millsap.

sloan is right

i don’t want millsap drifting out to shoot jumpers either.

that’s not what portland would be paying him to do.

33% 3pt shooter

(on 3 career 3pt shots attempted)

Millsap isn’t a SF and he’d make a mediocre C.

If P-Sap comes to Portland

I don’t ever want to see his “outside shot”, cuz that’s not what he would be coming here for.

I wouldn't mind seeing his outside shot

as long as he hits it about 45-49% of the time, I’m cool with it. Then rebound the heck out of both ends of the floor.

If I hired someone to be my agent

I’d expect them to say that I have 3 point range, too. (I don’t)

Oden + Pryzbilla + Millsap =

Opposing teams better not miss, cause there aren’t going to be any second chance points.

I am keeping hopes a little low but if we get millsap i will celebrate with

some hand lotion anyone catch I mean?

No I didn't

You are just too subtle…

Someone was saying that Millsap might not do as well, away from Utah

because he was a product of the Jazz’ system. I’m hoping that KP and his scouts know better, and that Paul has been looking forward to showing all of his skills and proving his “critics” wrong

When reached 39 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!

Its his agent

All I want is a decent defender who can score and that is Millsap.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
