IF Hedo comes to Portland, he could run point forward AND we could have taken a PG by committee approach. Everybody benefits from a guy like Hedo. Off hand the names that come to mind immediately are Roy and Oden. But the biggest impact, IMO, would have been Bayless... Where his ability as a scorer first and less of a distributor at the 1 would have been a trivial issue. Bayless, once inserted, will be the highest energy player on the floor and letting him attack the rim and just pester the other teams PG is what he is best freed up to do... I'm sorry, but I absolutely REFUSE to believe that Bayless is not ready to play if Derrick Rose can step in from day 1. Blazers got away with a top 5 pick undoubtedly @ 13 and he should be playing. Maybe we really SHOULD look at Odom??? This is another reason why Hedo not coming stings a little.

He could be a great scorer PG but the thing is WE NEED A good passer. So if Andre Miller is that bad how i hear and Hinrich is not enough for starting position. Then it leaves only Jason Kid. But we will not get him for sure. Mavs probably going to re-sign him. And we will be left without a starting PG. Just great and we wont be able to to any good trades because we don't really have anything good to give. I mean Hedo is not coming so Trading outlaw and some other player would leave us without any good SF. One way or another we are a litle bit screwed..atleast this year..
