    I've mentioned this in chats before but undersized slashers and rebounders get clocked by big vets alot in the paint. Would't it be in the best interest of the team to suggest sleeve braces for thighs, elbows, ankles, etc? Iverson is my example. He bounced off some of the biggest centers in the modern game and stayed on the court. He might have looked like the Mummy but it worked!

    Barton should look into getting all the " Under Armour " he can.

    Funny how I tried to mention this in the media day interviews and Casey practically scoffed at my question!!! Made it sound like any fan in the know wouldn't be sayin that to Barton... Casey, we just want to protect our players! You wear a helmet and pads if you ride a bike or go skating and on average there's a LOT more day-to-day impact in basketball! Just sayin :P

    If I was a Blazer coach, I'd put pads on every limb and joint that is paddable. Yes, we'd look more like the Winterhawks, but I'd feel better about the on court collisions at least.

    Nah uhhh a defensive center, a backup big either position I don''t care, an experienced wing, without having to give up any draft picks. I''d probably do this but I just don''t know for sure.

    Rebounds are over rated and so is JJ

  5. A question that could have team implications if it were to happen.

    I completely agree he could be that voice on the court we need. Lamarcus just isn''t that guy and Damian can learn some on court leadership from him. A small lineup when we need a score bad of Dame, Wes, Paul, Nic, and Lamarcus would be potent.

    I mean Damian might have not even been in the same area as them when it happened. Innocent until proven guilty
