ABOUT THE SOCIETY
Because the world really needed another blog dedicated to the Portland Trail Blazers. We're a group of journalists and fans who've grown up with--or have grown to love--Oregon's only professional franchise (and this won't change when MLS comes to town). Plus we're convinced that--if given the chance--we could totally hit the Toyota halfcourt shot. Until then, we're stuck here in the Portland Roundball Society.
THE BLOG PICK. THE BLOG ROLL.

Pick and Scroll: What Time Does the Train to Mallorca Leave?

AuthorNathan Begley | DateMonday, July 26, 2010 at 7:57AM

Your daily (Mon-Fri) roundup of links from around the blogosphere, typically Trail Blazers related.

• Over at BlazersEdge, Dave Deckard answers questions regarding the crestfallen Spaniard, Rudy Fernandez. My take on what to do with Rudy? Trade him for unyielding rookie Xavier Henry in either a sign-and-trade or a trade for Henry’s rights. Henry is one of the few players that Fernandez could be traded straight-across for and would be worth the trouble. Henry has the size to play either wing position and he can shoot and defend; sounds like a Portland wing to me. Fernandez could join his fellow countryman Marc “The Tank” Gasol and stand around helplessly while O.J. Mayo and Zach Randolph refuse to pass him the ball, also known as the Juan Carlos Navarro route back to Spain.

Yes, I realize that Henry duplicates a lot of what Wesley Matthews brings to the table. So what? Maximize your assets, and then make the next move. Trading Rudy for Xavier doesn’t fix any log jams, however, it does extract great value for Fernandez in a vacuum. Between injuries and potential trades, extra wing depth isn’t a bad thing to have.

• Beyond the Beat just expanded their coverage. On the plus side, more content is always great. On the negative side, I now have to actually look at the author’s name on the post rather than reflexively write Wendell Maxey (Wendell Maxey, Wendell Maxey, Wendell Maxey) each time I link a Beyond the Beat post.

• As is apropos, Wendell Maxey Eric King writes that former Blazer Summer League point guard Pooh Jeter (like “Cheddar”) has signed with the Sacramento Kings.

• Over at Basketball-reference, Neil Paine takes a look at which players handle the top defenses best. Roy grades out well, and the Miami Heat look to be a really tough cover.

• Seth Johnston at Bust-a-Bucket on groupthink, Chris Paul, and matrimonial metaphors.

• Mark Deeks over at ShamSports gets physical.

• Over at TrueHoop Network sister site Hardwood Paroxysm; Rob Mahoney has been covering Team USA in Las Vegas. Part One, Part Two, Part Three. Look, let’s be honest here. Playing for Team USA this summer is starting to look a bit like a sucker’s bet if you’re an established NBA player, especially an established NBA big man. If Team USA wins in Turkey, well, that was expected and much credit will go to the guards. If Team USA loses, well, it will likely be blamed on whoever is manning the middle and a lack of players from the 2008 squad.
