Veterans, we need vets!

Seven points in the third quarter against OKC? Seven? Really? Why am I not surprised? Ugh.
 
Olshey at a press conference. Twiddling his thumbs.
Another season nearing a much needed end. The one shining spot is Lillard. He's the odds on favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award and that's key for bringing talent to Rip City. We've got some cap space and we need to bring in some veterans. Remember when we had Andre Miller running the point? Or when Juwan Howard and Kurt Thomas would  help out the younger guys? Knowledge, not youth this off season. If we can get some mentors for Meyers Leonard (boy, does he need it) we can get something vital to basketball, a basketball i.q. I don't care how high you can jump, how much you can bench, I and the fans of basketball care how smart you play the game. Sure, Will Barton, you can jump, but why do I cringe every time you bring the ball up the court? Oh, because you have a room temperature i.q. at your position.

Get some veterans this off season, get some b-ball smarts for our young guys, get to the playoffs.
Do not, I repeat Mr. Olshey, DO NOT BUILD THIS TEAM THROUGH THE DRAFT.
