    I would have him turn the blazers into an up tempo team. They are built to run with Aldridge, Wallace, Batum, Mathews, Mills, etc. They blew out the lakers last time they went up tempo. What would you change?
    I am a fan of the RETURN of Greg Oden

    You got it right.  You have to go to an uptempo game with a team build around Aldridge.  Not only were the Blazers more effective when playing the uptempo style... they were more entertaining to watch.  I was disappointed to see how soon they returned to ISO when Roy came back.

    However, if we are going to become a running team... we need a point guard who is going to be 'Dre's successor and who will run.  At this point Nate doesn't seem ready to hand the reigns over to Mills or A.J.

    What do we do with Babbitt... ?  Pay him to tear up the D-League some more?

    Most importantly, I want to see what Elliot Williams can do and if Oden is going to play an entire season without a season-ending (and at this point, most likely career-ending) injury.

    the imposed restraints on letting players go ham.....
    such as batum........
    Work in some Iso or quick screen plays for this guy and let him really show his worth

    I realize a lot of people are down on Batum but I think that his inconsistency has to do with the system. No one ever points out Aldridge''s lack of assist totals. The home game against the Nuggets when LA sat out, Batum was our leading scorer, an...

    42 game $1,000,000 deal.

    Option of earning an extra $500,000 - Oden must average 8+ PPG and 5+ RPG, or something along those lines. 


    That gives him incentive to play hard, low risk / high reward for the Blazers. I...

    OJ Mayo is over rated but so is Batum especially by Blazer fans.
