    So there's been a lot of talk going around that Greg needs a big man coach, similar to what Dwight Howard has with Patrick Ewing. With that, who do you think the Blazers should bring in, or maybe have Greg go workout with in the offseason, to help further his game? Personally I thought Hakeem Olajuwon because, well he was freakin good. But then I saw this article; http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/Olajuwon_is_relishing_retired_-187049-822.html I wonder if the Blazers can maybe send G.O. down to Hakeem's camp this summer. That would probably help him a bunch. But with him apparently not wanting to sit on the bench I guess he wouldn't really be a coach. I heard on Wheels after Work Mychel Thompson just raving about Portland and how he's played with some of the all time greats and learned so much from them that he would love to come up and help. But honestly I wasn't old enough to really remember his career so, does anyone think he would be a good fit? If not, my other suggestion would be Alonzo Mourning. Who do you think the Blazers should bring in?
    I am a fan of this team. Here's to hoping for a healthy season!!!

    cmeese47 - The only thing we know about JJ''s defensive skills was they sucked when playing against true big men at the 5.  We know nothing of his defensive side at the four.  We do know he dominates the boards, he plays in...

    Exactamundo. Seriously though, both of you''ll are right. The blame should be placed on the attacker, not Lillard. That being said, Dame should have stepped in.

    Sanders is 6''11" Cailin he is about 5 pounds lighter than LA so his size should not be an issue.

    I completely agree. Pierce would bring a culture change. And we as a team really needed someone to help our young players through the tough times. Jeffires and Pavlovic were veterans who didn''t see much court time and from what I saw didn''t real...

    Joakim Noah has had his injury troubles. His crazy game and high energy make him a constant injury threat. What separates him from Oden and Rose (I had to just mention him) is his willingness to play the way he loves.
