From what I've seen of Koponen he actually is that guy. My question is what happens if summer league comes around with koponen as the better point guard? Would you make Koponen wait overseas longer just to give Bayles more playing time? Do you push Bayles further down the rotation behind P.K.? What would you do? http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/6/6/547445/going-after-prince DephlatorMouse Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:36:37 -0000 I was reading an article in the Oregonian the other day about Flip getting the ax and Joe Dumars saying that nobody on the roster is untouchable. Ever sine I finished it I haven't been able to stop drooling about the *slim* possability of aquiring Prince from the Pistons. I'm fairly ignorant as to hthe salary implications as my cell phone internet won't let me use trade machine, but I'd happily trade Web, Channing, Jack, and/or the 13th pick to get him in Red and black. He IS the answer to a lot of problems we face at small forward. He's an incredible defender shoots the 3 very well has good handles and doesn't have a selfish attitude on offense but he can take over the game if he has to. What do you guys think? http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/5/14/509349/if-rudy-starts-then-roy-pl DephlatorMouse Wed, 14 May 2008 16:03:15 -0000 <p>This is my first fanpost on this site, so i just wanted to share a few thoughts.</p> <p>If Rudy is in the starting lineup it doesnt&nbsp;really&nbsp;mean that Roy is the starting point they may have stretches with Rudy, Roy, and Webster/Trout where Roy is playing point but I'd say its more likely that Roy would start at sf and depending on substitution patterns would play the 1 2 or 3 spot while Rudy would stick to the 2 when he's in.</p> <p>What do you guys think?&nbsp; Would this cause more or less wear &amp; tear on Roy than starting at point?&nbsp; Can he guard bigger guys better than he can guard smaller quicker point guards?</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">If Rudy starts at the 2 Should Roy play the 1 or the 3?</h5> <div id="poll_container_24807_192199180" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">72%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Roy should start at point guard.</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">63</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">27%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Roy should start at small forward.</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">24</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>87</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_24807_192199180').animateResults({renderImmediately:true}); }); </script> </fieldset>
