Incredible athlete, won the slam dunk title a few years back. Good handles, solid jumpshot, good defender and lots of potential to get better. I think they will start him over Mo Pete, but he would still be effective coming off the bench.

And he's from the University of Oregon 🙂
I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of the Blazers newest move (Blake, Skinner and Ha for Jamal Maglore). At first glance it looks good because we get a former all-star. But there are two problems. First, Blake was our starting point guard. Its not that he can't be replaced fairly easily, but he's decent for his price. The second (and bigger problem) is that we will have the same issue that we had with Przybilla and Ratliff. Two centers with fairly large price tags and therefore we pay one way too much to come off the bench. Its questionable who will be the starter (although it will start as Joel because Nate makes people earn their spot) but either way one guy is payed too much to be a back up.
I think Magloire is in the last year of his contract to, so i dont see him sticking around long.
Jarret Jack is going to see more minutes and that is a good thing, Roy can also play the point if need be. I really like the moves the Blazers have made this offseason, this move is a bit of a head scratcher long term but it makes their team better right now.
Competition isnt a bad thing, hopefully Mags and Pryz competing for the starting spot can make them both better. Pryz seems to me like the type of dude who will respond to a challenge and wants to win, if Mags doesnt step up then he'll be coming off the bench. Now if you can just dump Miles then it will have been a great off season.
Mags, Przy
Zach, LaFrentz, Aldridge
Miles, Outlaw
B.Roy, Webster, Serg Rod
Jack, Dixson
Looks alot better than last year thats for sure.
I actually see Przybill keeping his starting job, but that might make Maglore complain (he was unhappy with his time with the Bucks as it was). And I don't see Przybilla playing much better because of competition (simply because he always seems to try hard and give his best, which I love). But I whole heartedly agree that we'll be better.
I will be doing a whole NBA playoffs in NBA Live. I'll set up the Playoffs as they were this year. Then, I'll play each game, and switch teams each quarter. So say Game 1 of Kings vs. Spurs, since the Spurs are home, I will be the Kings 1st Quarter, Spurs 2nd, Kings 3rd, Spurs 4th. That will be the Home-Court advantage, I get to control the team in the 4th quarter.
Actually, I am almost done. I'm almost in the Finals.
But I want to see your guys predictions. 1 round at a time. So predict who you think will win their series in the first round, and how many games it will go. Also, just because they are good in real life, doesn't mean I am good with them in NBA Live. I might be unstoppable with the Nuggets.
I have to tell you, there has been some crazy games.

I say Miami will win it. Not because of what happened in real life, but Wade and Shaq are really good on Live. LeBron and Kobe are also good and you should do well with them but neither of them have a Shaq to use as well. You know, thats very interesting though. I may have to do that myself.
No I mean predict the whole first round. I'm going post 1 round at a time.
