Well written. Feels like salt in the wound. I missed Dre before he even left town.

"Per John Hollingers twitter - Over the final 12:45 of today's game, Brandon Roy's PER was 84.98" GM 4 vs Mavs

At least he could avoid turning the ball over

under 4th quarter defensive pressure.

Miller was an expiring contract. Not much to trade. He shopped himself

around the league when Portland signed him, and now he’s three years older. If we’d kept him two more years, he would have had no trade value at all. Felton was little more than an attempt to get some future trade value for Miller. How much we can clearly debate. I liked Miller, but knew that Portland’s issues with Roy and Oden guaranteed that they were reaching a point, as they are with Felton and Camby this year, as well as Wallace, Batum, Crawford etc in the next year, of making future decisions about the entire team. The need a PG and they need a pivot. And, they don’t have the assets to trade for much. They can keep trying to patch it up, or they can decide to rebuild. Given the contracts they have, they’re at the fork in that road. Had they kept Miller another two years – they would still hit that same fork.

Man isnt that something. Miller is so old but still an entire fanbase is till talking about him in the middle of the season

It isnt like he is a superstar. But we all still admire what he did. Thats something for a 35 year old

WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE

like him or not, he comes to play every night

its hard not to admire that when you are the fan of a team that has been incredibly beset by injuries.

Dre is the smartest basketball mind playing in the NBA

If he could shoot past 16 ft, he’d be a shoe-in HOF player.

Most people treated like Dre was after he came here would have mailed it in until they got out of here. Instead he became the #2 player on the team and took us to more wins than our injury-laden squad deserved.

Love you, Dre!

which is what made the trade flat out embarassing

IMO. With the contributions he made, that dubious trade was an unwarranted insult.
We should have waited for a better option.

by Berkeley on Feb 4, 2012 9:57 PM PST up reply actions  

There weren't any. Further, if we'd kept him, in a couple of years we

would’ve still needed a PG, and he would’ve given us no value in a trade to get one. It was a tough call for the Blazers. One can argue that the short term justified keeping him, or that the mid and long term justified trading him. In the end, perhaps you’re right. If Felton’s performance doesn’t improve over the course of this season, then given he’s at the end of his contract, we might not get much in a trade if we tried to use him in any case. At which point, keeping Andre would’ve made little difference other than the fact that we would’ve likely been a better team this year, and perhaps next, than we are with Felton.

Want to know a dirty little secret?

Regardless of how much better Andre Miller’s time with the Blazers went in comparison to Raymond Felton’s current run, the hard truth is neither one will be a Blazer when it reaches the pinnacle for the first time since ’77.
