    I am going to give u my predictions on the free agency for the Blazers and their starting lineup

    C-Oden                           Camby
    Pf-Aldridge                      Landry(I think we will sign a backup 4)
    Sf-Wallace                       Batum
    Sg-Roy                            Matthews/Diebler
    Pg-Felton                        Smith/Williams


    I am a fan of Brandon roy coming back and eating his doubters!!!

    i think Chris Johnson is going to contribute a lot more this year and Armon and Babbit will do a little bit more too

    I am hoping that Brandon shocks the world and naysayers. If not, and he doesnt regain that starter caliber play, a line-up of Felton,Wesley,Wallace,L.A.,and whomever,will be a real decent squad.Id like to see CJ gain about ten pounds of muscle.Our bench wont be to shabby either.

    @ commontongue...Chris Johnson has reportedly put on 15 pounds of muscle, and is working very hard since the Blazer's season ended.

    The Blazers may have a need not yet being heavily discussed when basketball resumes again.  Financially speaking, the team may have to waive Brandon using amnesty, depending on the new CBA.  Felton, Nic, Greg...they all are likely to be in negotiations in a year with ownership already over the cap, and all just as likely justifiably demanding more money, Wallace the following year.  If BRoy is waived, Portland will have a SIGNIFICANT need at the 2, a position traditionally responsible for a large percentage of a team's point total.  Wesley is rehabbing a bad wheel, and would be the only true 2 on the roster.  Smith stands 6'4" ( a generous measurement at that) and quite frankly has me scratching my head with all of the talk of his ability to play either backcourt position.   Nic at the 2 while intriguing, then leaves the squad short at the 3.  The wild card here is Elliot Williams.

    In short, I think it too early to be calling starting line-ups, especially with the variable of free agency still on the horizon and health still a concern.  I like what I'm hearing on the Chris Johnson front too.

    The NBA Champions, The Dallas Mavericks, started Kidd and Barea at the Finals. IMO size is important but isn't crucial.

    Kidd is a big guard. Barea is not. We too will have that size flexibility in Nolan,6'3", and Felton,5'11".Anywho, whats up with Dalembert?

    Yeah, when you're getting into quality players, size doesn't say a lot. Wallace and Batum can guard 7 footers like Dirk and Pau and they're 6'7" and 6'8" respectively. In the backcourt, it's even less important. The best shooting guard in the game is 6'4"... One of the most dominating 4's of all time was Charles Barkley: 6'5"... Millsap is a beast on the boards and he's only 6'7" or so. With LeBron's talent, it's just a plus that he's almost 6'9" he could be lighting it up and flying all over the court even if he were a 6'2" guard.

    Maybe is it too early but I can wrote some first predictions for first and second 5 :

    Felton - Smith
    Wesley - Roy
    Wallace - Batum
    Aldridge - Johnson
    Camby - Oden ? - if He will be able to play at last :-)

    GO BLAZERS !!!
