Easy Buckets? Not as easy as you may think.

For the time I've been on here (not very long!) I've heard that the Blazers need to run and push the ball to get fast break points or easy buckets as some said. That sounds great and all, but you do realize that means Greg, Joel, and Mc won't be getting all those offensive rebounds? Even LMA to an extent, and Nico. I think the offensive glass is our "easy buckets". Not to mention we negate those easy buckets to an extent but never turning the ball over. I think we're going to be a pretty efficient offense next year. Gimme a great perimiter defense (Kobe & Melo both said Wesley Matthews was their toughest defender of the playoffs) Nicolas Batum who I believe will make the all NBA defensive team along with Wesley. We're gonna have a really good defense next year guys, because our paint will be protected more so than any team and will have the most versatile center trio with Oden the beast, MC the patrolling shot blocker, and Joel the 7 foot BANGER.

I don't wanna trade everybody away, but I agree some tweaks should be made. If we could turn some of our euroes/rookies/young talent (Rudy in particular) I would be very happy to bring in a solid player in a 3 for 1 or 4 for 1 type trade. I don't think PA is too worried about the luxury tax too so it's a good thing!

I know some of you guys are thinking the 92 Blazer teams with the easy baskets, but the way Nate does things can still work if our guys are healthy.
