    Heard that Olshey was reaching out to Derek Fisher. This would be a perfect fit for a veteran PG to come in and mentor Lillard. I did not think he was a UFA...maybe not?

    Also heard Jose Calderon name being mentioned. 

    Any other PG's that you have heard about?

    Derek Fisher could not guard a card board cut out and shot a robust 34% from the field last year. The dude is a career 40% shooter who had value cause he defended, was an excellent flopper and could knock down an open 3. He now cannot defend, shoots 30% from distance, and would be pretty much worthless to this team.

    I definitely DON'T WANT Fisher in here. He's less skillful among all PG's in the league ( I don't care about his mental & mentoring) He's totally useless , kind of guy who must be always aware when going to make an open layup to don't be chase down and swapped by anybody. And he's a loyal Laker anyway - we shouldn't hire him.\!!!

    You are right ! He became kind of stretch point guard (which sounds funny and actually it is) , just waiting in the corner and try to shoot from time to time (with not very good %) . He's defense now is based on pushing out his opponent by his chest. Hiring him will be a HUGE MISTAKE. He doesn't fit & belong here. !

    Ok, then WHO else would you want who IS available and cheap to play 10 - 15 minutes a game? Someone who CAN be a mentor to Damian Lillard.

    someone on one of the countless blogs I read concerning the Blazers mentioned Rodney Stuckey and I think he's the perfect guard for Portland to pair with Lillard. He's never been happy in Detroit, is from Seattle and has game. Younger than Fisher and way more athletic. Detroit probably would like to tank this year and climb up the lottery draft since the east has gotten much deeper. I believe he was drafted in the same class as BRoy and has stayed pretty healthy. Calderon is a question mark for me although Claver would like playing with a fellow countryman.

    This would have been a great pickup, but we did sign Ronnie Price. I think Fisher would've been a good mentor to Lillard and Smith.

    Haha, didn''t see you wrote this, asked if you wanted him at 11 on another topic. I like Meyers, I really do, buuuuut. Henson is a better defender. And Rebounder. And shot blocker. And is stronger. 

    I think that Meyers will be more ver...

    if we get no.1 pick, i would trade that pick for omer asik and that all. the rockets would probably use that pick for a trade with the lakers since lakers need to get younger

    Dont see how we can get a starting defensive center. I will be very impressed if Olshey can find one

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
