Add that to his deadly shooting ability and I think he may be a nice PG to play beside B-Roy, LA and Oden. I say you draft the best PG you can and let him and Bayless battle it out. Whoever wins, gets all the backup minutes, the other guys sits. Havent seen Curry play much but Bob Knight said he was one of best passers in all of college basketball and has a great IQ.

Right, and how do you suppose Rudy fits in long term? Certainly aren't enough minutes as a 2 assuming Roy stays healthy. As a point? Didn't see the ball handling to make that happen, and certainly not as a 3- don't see him, or Roy, guarding the likes of Carmelo, Lebron, or Turkoglu at 6'5"; gotta have a bit more size there. A lot of people have compared the situation to Ginobli, but Manu isn't playing behind Brandon Roy..... Oh, and now Websters, with a contract, is thrown into the mix.... just don't see where Rudy fits, long term anyway. Curry averaged 28.6 pts, 6 assists, and 2.6 steals a game last year on a very, very weak team. Blake missed big free throws, couldn't play any defense, and made some huge mistakes against Houston. Oh, and Steve can not run the break.... Why not at least attempt to get better at our weakest position? re: Chris

I was right there with you on Miller this season at the trading dead-line, up until Andre and Theo pulled there little mutiny in the middle of the playoffs. Being a Veteran team leader and screwing your young team-mates, even when you are on your way out the door, is in-excusable and not really any sort of influence to have around. Besides, he's slow, never has been able to shoot, and looking for one last swollen contract he can underachieve on...... Much rather have Bibby if we're looking at Vets to start. mslivkoff…..

For some reason Portland has a horrible track record drafting a point guard. Time to look to FA; but I'm afraid they won't pull trigger. I’m with you Jason.

Now if there is any truth to the New-Orleans-can't-afford-to-keep-Chris-Paul rumors, we better be on that like white on rice! But, in the real world (where N.O. execs are smart enough to avoid the lynching which would follow letting CP3 go), what does Mr. Jaynes (or anyone else here) think of free-agent Andre Miller? Check out that PER of 18.7!

We've got the cap room, and we give up nothing. What say you? Dwight – you mentioned a preference for a vet PG.

There's a track record here and it doesn't seem to be working out in the Blazers favor. A veteran pg would be welcome. 2004 Draft – Telfair
2005 Draft – Jack
2006 Draft – Sergio

Please Mr. Pritchard can you break this cycle? There’s a track record here and it doesn’t seem to be working out in the Blazers favor. A veteran pg would be welcome.
