I think he carefully chose to say fourth guard with Rodriguez being the current primary backup for Blake until Bayless gets his bearings. Pritchard is going to have to give up multiple picks/draft picks to dump him now.
Were it not for Morey. we would have Rudy Gay. Getting Artest was a nice job, but Brooks and Landry are still unproven. The Trailblazers went about finding and selecting young talent, of whom Koponen is one. Freeland doesn't have as much potential as the 6-5 PG Koponen, but he is big, versatile and young -- certainly better for the Rocks than Luther.
I still believe Sergio is Nash 2.0. He should go play for D'Antoni on the NYK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qKGWhHADlE he was so good back in 2004....
