New Orleans has acquired J. Bayless from Portland

Recommended Posts

Hornets will send Blazers their 2011 first-round pick for Jerryd Bayless, source says.

 

Hornets coach Monty Williams is a big believer in Bayless and it gives Chris Paul a backup and a guard he can sometimes play together with.

They needed to make a move like this because CP3 is outta there this summer.

I think the Blazers getting a first rounder for Bayless is a steal.

 

Seconded. Bayless is a poor man's Ben Gordon, and we've pretty well established at this point that a Ben Gordon's Ben Gordon can't win a team games consistently if he's featured.

to be fair, how many players can win a team games consistently if featured?

And what Portland got in return is pretty good. According to the Oregonian, the protection is only top-7 for 2011 and top-8 each of the three years after; since the Hornets aren’t exactly a guaranteed success this year, it appears the Blazers gained a strong asset to utilize in future deals.

 

 

What the hell is NOH doing?

I meant "featured" to mean as a top 3-4 player on your team. Gordon can't do that, and he's WAY better than Bayless is.

 

still, Gordon is one of only a handful of players who can go off and win games by himself.

this means Patty Mills most probably will be signed. Blazers said they had a few options in being able to keep him, they have clearly exercised one of them.

CP3 is spending his every free minute to draw up different plays for him and Dwight.. WIth his tongue sticking out form the side of his mouth.. envisioning a crossover and a drive, lob pass up in the air and SWOOSH.. in comes Dwight, grabs the ball from the top of the backboard and slams it in over Emeka Okafor... crowd goes wild... fans with signs that say "CP3 + D12 = DYNASTY!" and "CP3 FOR MVP - D12 FOR MVP"... then he thinks about other possibilites. What about Rashard in the corner for an open three after a marvelous spin around the defender and between the legs pass... Oh or Brandon Bass with the POWER DUNK after an ankle breaker and a nifty behind the back pass... And then there's all the other shooters and dunkers.. Man... He's gonna average 20 assists per game!

 

He sits back in his leather chair, hands behind his head. Eyes closed. All smiles. Man, championships. Now we just have to wait for the trade deadline, he thinks. That new building was awesome...

 

Then... a vibration. His phone is ringing. It's Emeka. Asking him how a pick and roll works. Does he have to pick how he rolls his ankle or does he pick his spring rolls before or after the game? Oh and Peja just wanted Mek to tell Chris to pass him the ball. He'll be standing near the three point line all game, same line, defense or offense. Won't move, so it's easier to find him for the open three.

 

CP3 hangs up without saying a word. Puts his head on his knees. Fetal position.

 

Cries.
