News Flash: Blazers Unhappy With PGs

You might be surprised to hear this, but the decision-makers in Portland are not thrilled with their current crop of point guards. Shocking, yes?

Jason Quick of The Oregonian reveals Portland made a big deadline push for Jose Calderon (a player Toronto would not consider giving up at this juncture), and is considering shifting two-guard Brandon Roy to the point permanently when Rudy Fernandez arrives from Spain. Whatever the case, the triptych of Jarrett Jack, Steve Blake and Sergio Rodriguez are not considered solutions.

Some good point guards should be on the board when Portland's pick comes up this June -- perhaps D.J. Augustin, Ty Lawson. No guarantees you'll grab a PG of the future at #13, but it isn't out of the question. And, allow me this response to every past and future instance when a beat writer mentions when Chris Paul and Deron Williams will be free agents: Chris Paul and Deron Williams will not make it to free agency. Their teams will offer the max without question or hesitation this summer. You will not get Chris Paul or Deron Williams this decade. Accept that. Thank you.
