Blazer's Edge

Another Blazer Possibly Moving Up

QualityPie — Sat, 17 May 2008 05:42:38 -0000

As per today's ESPN story about Atlanta's search for a GM, the Portland Trail Blazers advance scout John Gabriel is on "an initial list of four candidates in their search to replace outgoing general manager Billy Knight."

Sources told ESPN.com that the Hawks have either interviewed or plan to meet with Portland Trail Blazers personnel scout John Gabriel, San Antonio Spurs assistant general manager Dennis Lindsey, Washington Wizards vice president of basketball administration Tommy Sheppard andBoston Celtics assistant general manager Dave Wohl.

We've already lost Bill Bayno, the new head coach for Loyola-Marymount, of course.

A reminder that success, especially when it comes from winning the right way, puts a team's staff on the radar for higher positions elsewhere.

Congratulations again to Coach Bayno, and best of luck to John Gabriel in his consideration.

Battier available according to Quick

parkinglotj — Sat, 17 May 2008 04:36:12 -0000

It has been several weeks since Jason Quick mentioned this and it's starting to grow on me. Quick revealed that the Houston staff was eating dinner in Vegas last summer, he just happened to be within earshot. He said that the staff just bagged on Battier's game endlessly.

If a switch is made at PG to an offensive PG, then I think that the natural switch at SF is to get a premier defender. Guys that can guard Kobe, LaBron, Carmelo, Jefferson and others. I'd like Webster or Outlaw to be that guy, but I think that Battier would fit nicely.

Houston gave up the #8 pick (Rudy Gay) and Stromile Swift for Battier. Would the #13 and LaFrentz's contract be worth it. (I know that Houston would have to throw in a salary to match)

Is Battier the type of player Portland needs and is this even close to enough to give Houston to get him?

Tried to make it work.

Battier (5.8) and Bobby Jackson (5.6 expiring) and Houston's 2.3 million exception for LaFrentz (12.4), Jack(1.2) and the #13. Works if I did it right. Obviously if Portland got these players and the exception, another trade would be down the road. Maybe a week later when free-agents are "free".

PS Maybe I should be clear. I'm not advocating that this move be done, I'm just trying to come up with possible ways to look at things. Jack would replace Jackson in the rotation, but do they need a combo guard? Wow, they have a lot of PG's. Did they get Jackson to let his contract expire? If so would they be more interested in a large salary dump?

Boston Vs. Cleveland Game 7

Zaron5551 — Sat, 17 May 2008 03:41:31 -0000

I'm going to start this FanPost(I love how FanPost has become a compound word with Fan and Post beginning with a capital letter). I'm going out on an edge. I think that Lebron will really step it up in Game 7 and elimintate Boston. I base this prediction on nothing. except spite for Boston. What are your thoughts?

Randon Fact: Gavin mentioned on 95.5 today that he and Casey are starting a new blazers podcast and they said Dave would be a guest.

Second Chance

Winchester — Fri, 16 May 2008 23:49:38 -0000

There are a couple articles I read today that talked about the Nets needing to make aggressive trades this summer. John Hollinger mentions the fact that the Nets will probably need a third party involved to make a trade happen. One possibility that has been mentioned is moving Carmelo Anthony to the Nets in exchange for Richard Jefferson and some other pieces. I think this would work well for both teams as Carmelo has clearly shown he doesn't play well with Allen Iverson. some thoughts:

1. I would love to have Devin Harris.

2. If Harris plays 35 minutes a night, that leaves 13 minutes left over at PG. Lets say Roy handles the point on big possessions 4 minutes a night. Sergio needs at least 8 minutes (probably more) to develop and keep Rudy happy. That leaves Blake with one minute of playing time. This is assuming that Rudy never runs the point. Rudy is also a much better SG guard than Blake, so I don't see Blake getting much time there either.

3. With the acquisition of Harris we would have the most well rounded defense in the west.

4. What would it take to get Harris? What would you be willing to give up? One trade that works looks like this:

TRADE

Portland
Outgoing: Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw, Jarrett Jack, 13th pick
Incoming: Josh Boone, Devin Harris

Denver
Outgoing: Carmelo Anthony, Marcus Camby, Nene Hilario
Incoming: Richard Jefferson, Vince Carter, Jarrett Jack, Travis Outlaw

New Jersey
Outgoing: Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson, Josh Boone, Devin Harris
Incoming: Carmelo Anthony, Marcus Camby, Nene Hilario, Steve Blake, 13th pick

Davis sign and trade deal?

monkeybones — Fri, 16 May 2008 22:05:45 -0000

What are the options with B. Davis?

I was wondering... With Davis threatening to opt out, is it feasible for the Blazers to put together a sign and trade deal with Golden State for Davis? Maybe Lafrentz, the 13th pick, 1-2 second round picks, a point guard and Martell. Is that a possibility, I'm sure it's not possible as I haven't seen any posts on it but was curious? Seems like the $$ could work out? Please educate me.

Mock Draft based on Team Needs

Portland Dynasty — Fri, 16 May 2008 21:19:27 -0000

This mock draft I created on www.realgm.com, ran one random lottery order and then drafted based on my own research on team needs and of the prospects. I used www.draftexpress.com, www.espn.com, and www.nbadraft.net primarily for prospect info and as a basis for "big board" ratings. Of course, many teams use a "Big Board" strategy and select always "Best Available Player" as far as how teams rank all the prospects. But I find it hard to believe that when each team is refining their big boards that subconciously team needs are built into how teams view prospects.

Here is my primary question in this post:

If in fact this draft scenario were the outcome of the 2008 NBA draft, do you feel that the additions of: PG D.J. Augustin (#13 overall), GF Kyle Weaver (#33), FC Nathan Jawai (int'l) (#36) and PG Goran Dragic (int'l) (#55) is good enough to keep building on the momentum and talent that our 2007 Blazers had toward our Championship hopes? Or, do you think those draft picks aren't worth filling out our roster and we should start dreaming, hoping and wishing for some great moves out of KP? Should Portland draft with those picks to get those guys, or should they shake it up with a trade?

Below is a list that I created that address what each teams needs are for this years draft:

2008 NBA Draft Team Needs
Atlanta Hawks: Center, Point Guard
Boston Celtics: Best Available
Charlotte Bobcats: Scorer, Guard, Forward/Center
Chicago Bulls: Center (7’0”), Scorer
Cleveland Cavaliers: Forward/Center’s
Dallas Mavericks: Center, Power Forward, Point Guard
Denver Nuggets: Center, Power Forward
Detroit Pistons: Post Player, Scorer
Golden State Warriors: Forward Center, Point Guard
Houston Rockets: Center, Scorer
Indiana Pacers: Center, Shooting Guard

Los Angeles Lakers: Point Guard, Small Forward
Memphis Grizzlies: Center, Power Forward

Milwaukee Bucks: Center, Small Forward
Minnesota Timberwolves: Post Player, Shooting Guard
New Jersey Nets: Shooting Guard, Scorer, Power Forward
New York Knicks: Star Power, Scorer, Athletic Big Man
Orlando Magic: Shooting Guard, Scorer
Philadelphia 76ers: Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Center
Phoenix Suns: Center, Point Guard, Scorer (Chris Lofton)
Portland Trail Blazers: Point Guard, Defender (
Sacramento Kings: Shooting Guard, Post Player
San Antonio Spurs: Swing Man, Point Guard
Seattle Super Sonics: Point Guard, Center
Toronto Raptors: Shooting Guard, Center
Utah: Center (7’0”), Guard, Power Forward
Washington Wizards: Point Guard, Post Scorer

Playoffs '09-future (I think we'll be O.K.)

OCBlazerFan1 — Fri, 16 May 2008 20:29:16 -0000

I was thinking about the future of our team and the playoffs. I think we will do okay. We did much better vs. up and coming teams then we did vs. the decliners. Here is the data.

DECLINERS

SanAntonio: L 97-106, L 79-100, L 65-72. 0%

Houston: L 80-89, L 79-89, L 86-95. 0%

Dallas: L 80-90, W 91-82, L 76-96, W 108-105. 50%

Denver: L 93-110, W 116-105, W 99-96, L 103-105 (OT). 50%

Phoenix: L 92-97, 98-111, 91-100. 0%

We have had some problems with veteran playoff teams. Signs of a young team. We will be a year wiser next year.

Up-And-Coming Teams

Utah: W 97-89, W 99-91, L 101-111, W 103-89 . 75%

Hornets: L 93-113, W 93-90, W 88-76, L 81-96. 50%

L*kers: L 83-96, W 119-111, L 112-103, W 112-103. 50%

Golden State: W 105-95, W 109-91, L 104-110, L 95-111. 50%

We have not lost the regular season series (this year) to any of these up and comers (who we will be battling in the future.)

We are a young team, and some of these wins were in that amazing stretch, and I realize that the playoffs are a whole different story. However, we will be better next year (LMA & Roy will be in season three & a lot of guys have their "real" breakout season at year three). We will have Oden and Godzilla in the middle swatting layups like flies. And who knows how Rudy will pan out, or if we get an upgrade at the PG. The future looks good my friends. Real good!

euros question

parkinglotj — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:58:34 -0000

The blazers have moved up into the first round to get Freeland and Kaponen . They have bought into the first to get Rodriguez. What is the benefit to the player and the team to get a euro in the first vs. getting them in the second. I know there is a difference in contract length and size, but is it easier in regards to buyouts. Is being a second round pick a reason a euro wouldn't come to the states? Are there any other bonuses?

The odds are the Blazers will get another euro this year. Do they move up slightly into the first or stay at the top of the second?

Calderon

Kampeska — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:53:40 -0000

This sounds promising. http://torontosun.com/Sports/Basketball/2008/05/16/5584746-sun.html How does the starting five of, Calderon, Roy, Fernandez, Alderidge and Oden sound? Is there an NBA small forward in that mix? Who has the ball? I think that lineup and play fast or slow, inside or outside, and defend. The second team of Blake, Martel, Outlaw, Frye, and Prizbilla could be pretty good too. JJ/JJ and McBob round out the team. I think they could be fun to watch.

Very Interesting Martell Interview (Listen!)

TheOdenator — Fri, 16 May 2008 15:02:49 -0000

I was listening to the game (95.5) last night during Courtside and they had Martell on for a very interesting interview. Mike Barrett links to it in his blog: http://mikebarrettsblog.blogspot.com/ . In the interview Martell talks about the work he is going to put in during the off-season, and is surprisingly candid about what he thinks the Blazers need in order to become a championship team. He starts off talking about how they don't really need anybody and that with LMA, Greg, Brandon, himself, and SERGIO as point guard, that is all that they need (edit: he talks about the team at around 6:20).

While we all know that Sergio is a popular teammate, do you think the front office has talked to Martell about what they see as Portland's direction in the future? Martell is not an idiot; he was clearly saying something about who he included and who he left off of that list.

Oh and there is also a funny little bit where they talk to Martell about what he thinks about Rudy and he asks them what position Rudy plays, I can't tell if he is messing with them a little bit, and Mike and Mike say well he is would probably be most comfortable in the 2, without saying that well he pretty much will be directly competing with Martell for playing time. Anyways absolutely excellent interview, and was Martell signaling the fact (from inside the organization) that Steve, JJ33, Travis (sorry ann), and Jack are on the chopping block?

DKV against Akasvayu in ACB playoffs

amlmart1 — Fri, 16 May 2008 14:28:56 -0000

Rudy Fernandez played today against Akasvayu Girona and DKV Joventut won the game 85-72: 19:51 min., 22 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steals, 4 TO, 2 blocks, 3 foul, 8 fouled. Shooting p. 2FG 2/6, 3FG 3/8, FT 9/10; efficiency 22.

Boxscore

Highlights

Marc Gasol and Rudy Fernandez share aim, but only one will pass to next round of playoffs, the first who wins two games. They played the first game today at 20:30h (Spain time, 11:30 in Portland).

Rudy Fernandez (DKV Joventut):

" It will be complicated because they come in a great moment to this Playoff, after six consecutive victories ".

" We know enough each other after the games we have played this year and I believe that it will be tough for both teams."

" The individual awards don´t matter, only that my team wins as a whole".

" In the final of the Uleb Cup we could stop Marc Gasol, with a Jerome Moiso's great work ".

" Marc always will do good numbers, so it is necessary to avoid that he would make play his teammates".

" It would be incredible if we win all the possible titles, something few teams have done. We start as the best second team, a good position to aspire to win the league. " I agree to be the MVP of the final of the league, it will mean that my team wins the ACB title".

Four rounds down, and two left. And now not only the title of "Unofficial Blazers' Edge Masked Persona" is up for grabs, but also a caricature from Amlmart1's good buddy Paco (Argote? Whomever he is, he's good.)! It was also decided by the contestants that an honorary point should be given to those who serve as judges, since they are not able to earn any during that round. There were no objections, and the resolution received the requisite number of votes, so, motion carries!

At this point, we are waiting for TominHawaii to name his top three, but since Hawaii is one quarter of a world away from me, at the time of this post, I would expect Mr. inHawaii to be sleeping. So, whenever he gets up and around to it, and I notice, we'll get a better update of the score. As always, the rules can be found here.

Carmelo Anthony a Trailblazer?

bforsythe — Fri, 16 May 2008 04:48:49 -0000

ESPN.com is reporting that the Denver Nuggets are listening to offers for Carmelo Anthony, among others. With all the talk that the Blazers could use an upgrade at the SF, could Melo be the answer? I don't believe he fits the image here in Portland as far as his off the court transgressions, but is he past the point of redemption? Does he deserve a second chance? Could Portland be the fresh start he needs? What would we have to give up to obtain his services? Our diginity? I'm not sure how I feel about this, but there is no denying a possible starting line-up of Roy, Fernandez, Anthony, LMA, and G.O. is definitely intriguing. How about it?

Should the Blazers Explore Acquiring Carmelo Anthony?

Speaking of Terry Porter ...

Looks like he's the first to interview for the Suns vacancy! Now really, who saw that one coming?

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3398493

Pretty neat, huh? I thought he got sort of a bum rap in Milwaukee. This could be huge for him if he gets to show he can coach a team that is actually good. My prediction: everyone writes them off and says they'll miss the playoffs, and they end up around the 6th seed just ahead of the Blazers.

All I can say is best of luck to him and who knows, maybe he can even show Nash a thing or two?

blzrfan posted the video from the end of last night's LA-Utah game on this post

http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/5/15/509968/what-s-wrong-with-the-play

I'm bringing it to a new post because after watching it a bazillion times, and laughing so hard everyone in the office came to see what I was looking at, I started thinking that Boozer is a better defender than that video shows.

In the video, you can see Gasol (shove?) move Okur out of the way, grab a rebound, go up for a dunk. Boozer's right there on D, could easily have fouled or altered the shot. The guy doesn't even leave his feet. It's funny to me, but I can't help wondering (as the hated Boston fan in my office did) whether there's something else going on here. Is it possible that Boozer intentionally played no D there?

Go to the page, look at it. Or if blzrfan could post it, I'd really appreciate it. AND MANY THANKS TO BLZRFAN FOR POSTING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Was Boozer just caught off guard?

What's Wrong With the Playoffs This Year?

hurryup09 — Thu, 15 May 2008 17:06:35 -0000

After last night's Fakers/ Jazz and Celtics/ Cavs games, the home teams have won 19 of 20 second-round games. The lone exception to the trend: a narrow, 2-point win by the Pistons over a weak Magic team. Sorry, but this is getting beyond predictable.

Last night, with two of my least-favorite teams playing at home, it got to the point where I would just fast-forward my DVR towards the inevitable conclusions. Yes, the Jazz made their game a little interesting, but somehow I never believed they could win.

Remember the past two seasons, with all the overtime games and road wins? It seemed the only time the home court advantage amounted to much was in game 7's. Now it's suddenly all-important.

So is this just an incredible coincidence, or has something changed? I'd like to say it's a grand conspiracy by the league, but for one thing, I haven't noticed much of a pattern of officiating bias (except maybe the near-impossibilty of road teams getting a charge call). For another, where's the advantage to the league? It could be to increase teams' incentive during the regular season, but that seems a stretch.

One thing for sure: the overwhelming home court advantage is taking a lot of excitement out of watching these playoffs for me.

Why can't the road teams win this year?

Everyone is still within striking distance, so it should be fun down the stretch. In other Impersonation Contest news, JTDuck22 nominated a one T Darkstar in Lizzy's contest, and the nomination received enough recommendations to qualify, so Saturday, I will post in honor of, well, myself.

But up today is Tom Selleck. It is your job to do your best impersonation of our very own TominHawaii by answering this question: "How well will Greg Oden do next season?" And tomorrow morning, or whatever time it is in Hawaii, Tom will make up his mind, and the judgment will be pronounced. Good luck to all!

I have watched a lot of steppin' movies lately, and I wanted to write a diary comparing the Blazer's, to my favorite steppin' movie. I did some research and realized that only watching three, would not give me enough expertise, to write such a ground-breaking piece.

I started to lose confidence in myself. I questioned my ability to write on topic diaries, that were for the most part off topic. I guess you could say, I questioned my existence at Blazers Edge. I even considered becoming a Bucks fan.

Then suddenly, it occurred to me, I know too much about Harry Potter. If Brandon Roy is Harry Potter, who is Lord Voldemort?

Blazers games in theater in 3D

RipCity — Thu, 15 May 2008 05:00:41 -0000

Hey I was thinking about this idea that I heard on the radio. I know that the Rose Garden will be packed next year, especialy on the opening night. Every body will want to see Greg Oden. I know that there probably will be more than 20,000 people that would want to be there, but will sit home to watch on tv, because of different reasons. Well I was thinking would't it be nice if Paul Allen would build, a big theater, so we could go watch Blazers on big sreen, and have it in 3D(you know those glasses u put on). I would like to have a theater where I could go watch Blazers in 3D.
