Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

A few thoughts

1. Move Batum to shooting guard once he heels up. Bring Matthews off the bench. 2. Let Felton walk at the end of the season or see what we can get for him in a sign and trade. 3. Give Wallace time to heal his finger or hope he doesn't aggravate it any further. Maybe a few games before the all star break and hopefully the extended layoff will help. 4. This team needs a difference maker, closer type. A Batman/Robin combination. We have one of the two right now in Aldridge but where's the side kick? Thoughts?

definitely let Ray walk at the end of the season.

I don’t think there’s much doubt about that.

Batum/Matthews

Spot on, man. I totally agree. Nic seems to thrive at the two, while Wes$ is struggling.

I think to your last point, that the team needs to get after Aldridge when they seem him relaxing and taking the long jumpers. I mean, his jumper is unstoppable, but late in the game he needs to be pounding it inside and forcing the defense to double team him or foul him. Taking mid-range jumpers accomplishes none of the advantages of having a 6’11" beast brings.

LA can beast. He just needs to get pushed into doing it at the close of games.

Apparently not giving up on Brandon or Greg paid no dividends. Whatever... Go Blazers!!!

Yes please

Let the cupcake walk for God sake.
Granted we will need a new PG … who will that be?
I would take Ridnour over off the knee and out of bounds

Take HailOden!'s number 5,6 and your 4 and make em priority number 1, 2, and 3

oh and number 4. GET A GM WITH A PLAN!!!!

At least if and when we hire a new GM, he will have tons of cap space and roster spots to do what he wants with Allens approval of course.

I'd say number 7 is pretty important

Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
