Good Piece.

Webster has plenty of athletic ability. He is one of the top 3 most explosive players on the Blazers. If the time and effort Webster has put in this off season towards the defensive side of the ball is any indication in his future in Portland, Then the horizon is bright.

I would look for Outlaw to be traded to free up time for Rudy and Webster. The value Outlaw has in a trade and his inconsistency provides to great of an opportunity to pass up.

For some reason in the NBA I like having size. Martell can’t guard other smalls as good as Outlaw and Batum. I say ship him off. He would be better suited playing the 2 anyway. They have Rudy if they want a kick out shooter.

@Jah
You dont have enough shooters in the starting 5. If miller starts, then you want to start webster. Who cares if he’s not a great defender, or even good. He just funnels his man to 14ft of front court help. Miller is not a good shooter, and Batum hasnt gotten there yet, teams will pack it in against them, hurting Oden, and Aldridge, and limiting driving lanes for Roy

at some point their gonna have to get rid of some of these guys cuz they are all too talented to sit on the bench. jerryd bayless is a stud who gets no PT because he stuck behind fernandez and blake and he might be the most explosive player on the team. rudy wants tick and i am not sure where he can go in order to ensure that he gets it (maybe going back to spain). martell probably won be around long if he doesnt improve on his numbers

Yeah Outlaw will get his ass handed to him down low.@nathan-you’re exactly right.And all they had to do was read some old shit on here from me for that assesment.

I don’t think that Brandon Roy and Andre Miller fit together very well after reading all of the reports of their first couple of preseason games. Both need the ball to be successful. Roy fits better with Steve Blake spotting up for passes off of Brandon’s drives.

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with those 2 lineups. This isn’t a video game and players don’t like limited minutes. Rudy has made it clear he wants more minutes, same with Outlaw.

Oops, forgot about Jerryd Bayless.
