I heard the FO looked into it, but unfortunately it was one bad deal MJ refused to take part in. If only we had a star like Joel Przybilla we could have sent the other way.

Someone who will shoot 36% and 39% for you in the playoffs and shoot you out of every other game. There's a reason why Atlanta didn't want him.

better than MWP, Blake, Ebanks, Fisher, Morris, Goudelock.........

Better than the rest of Portland's bench, too, if you look at it that way.

But still, 36% and 39% with such a high number of shots will definitely ensure an early playoff exit and make Kobe pull out all his hair.

Remember, we won a championship with Farmar, Vujacic, and Luke Walton in regular rotation.

Shooting 30 feet 3 pointer with an injured shooting hand. That's the freedom what Kobe has in Lakers. Mike Brown is just a puppet.

Look at his makes/attempts from 3 this year.

0-4
0-5
1-8
2-7
0-4

Honestly, when is he going to get that he isn't a 3 point shooter?

yea, lebron got the memo

and its Chris Webber has to be the only guy ever that looks best with nappy hair, pause

And don't forget we also had Lamar. Someone who scored, rebound, and passed.

1) We played at the Blazers tempo. We need to play at a slower pace.

2) TO's. We had 14. Blazers had 4. Most of those TO's turned into easy fast break points.

3) They have a 6th man, Jamaal Crawford. We have Artest, who scored 0 points.

Trust me, Crawford is as inconsistent as it gets. But yes, MWP is just terrible.

If I were Brown, I would make sure he doesn't play another game for the Lakers. Him being on the court gave Portland a +20 advantage with all his stupid plays.
