The fact that Miller is out for so long will probably benefit the Heat. Instead of having all kinds of pressure on them not to lose, they can play loose and gel together.

@STEIN_LINE_HQ Just filed to ESPN.com: Blazers reach agreement on trade to send G Jerryd Bayless to New Orleans for future first-round pick. Link on way
Bayless set free.

Great trade for Portland, considering it's NO's 2011 1st rder.
Yes, Bayless is talented, but the Blazers could very easily end up with a lotto pick for him.

Good trade for both teams. Bayless was a lotto pick and they didn't need him nor do they need another one.

Solid.
undersized as hell though.

Damn, son.
If you're all about shopping that pick, there probably could have been a better return, though. Especially considering there is zero post depth.

Bayless is legit, but he's too small.
They wanted someone to come off the bench and give them a spark, that's what Thornton was for.

Now that I think about it, this probably has a lot to do with concern over Willie Green playing lead guard off the bench. I know I feel better with the thought of Bayless doing that (more to do with Green's inability than Bayless' ability).
I still think Belinelli will start, regardless.
I just wish the best big off the bench wasn't Aaron Gray. Hell, it might be Pops.

Makes them trading away Craig Brackins that much more puzzling.

Houston has got to be upset they completed that play, even in the preseason.

It is weird to think that with all the !@+* Spanish Fernandez has been talking, Bayless gets sent out for a first round pick before he does.
Also, I think the Blazers could have put Jerryd's talents and production to use much better than getting a top seven protected pick in return. At least for now.

Surprise Bayless gets shipped out before Rudy. I still think Rudy will be traded. I was watching either ESPN or the Portlands preview on NBATV and they was talking about maybe Portland just waives him, since he has no trade value. Is the Knicks the only team interested in him?
Bayless is about to get a lot of minutes in NO. Most Improved?

Didn't know that. I haven't being paying attention that close to news about Rudy really. Just going by what I remembered hearing last.

Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why couldnt Rudy have been shipped out instead?! *sigh* Wonder if Mills is ready to play backup after playing all of 30 minutes last year?

So that means they're better players? No.
The bottom line is, neither of us should have much confidence in any of them.
Aaron Gray is better than Jason Smith
And yes I do believe each of them are better players than that bum. I am not saying they are going to put up astounding stats but this is a frontline that is better than the past ones we have I mean this isn't Marks/Ely/Armstrong
Honestly what type of moves do you expect? A four team deal that nets us D12 and Melo?
Half full not half empty
