Bentons NBA 2k11 Portland Trail Blazer Association
"Decisions to be made this season regarding Gerald Wallace"
The Portland Trail Blazers enter the 2011-2012 season full of hope even after missing the playoffs the last 2 seasons, There younger players are getting more experience, they now get a full season with #1 pick from last season Kenny McCormick who also won rookie of the year, So that is now 2 rookie of the year winners on the Blazers, McCormick and Brandon Roy,
But there is questions regarding forward Gerald Wallace, during this past off season he accepted his player option for this season, However Wallace if not offered a extension, will become a free agent. " Wallace is a great player and hustles every play and gives us a great weapon however as a franchise we also have to think about the future of this team. We will think long and hard during the season on wither we will resign him or cut ties. But right now i dont want him to think about that. I want him to go out and help us win ball games and make it back to the playoffs". Says GM and Head Coach Benton. "We do have some great young talent waiting patiently for there turn to take over, in Patrick Patterson and Wesley Matthews"
Another option for Portland is to trade Wallace b4 the deadline and see what they can get outta him. But i think it would all depend on where the team is record wise. For the 3rd straight opener the starting lineup will be different, Only difference this season is at the PG position, McCormick didnt start out last season on Portlands roster, He was traded from Toronto to Portland. As of right now the starting lineup for the season opener will be
McCormick-Roy-Wallace-Aldridge-Oden. with key bench players in Matthews and Patterson, They also have some extra depth with backup PG Armon Johnson, and PG Cedric Goodwin who played all last season in the D league, Coach Benton says he will use Rookie PF Kurt Posey who was picked 28th overall, and showed some great things in the pre season. The Blazers open up with the Phoenix Suns who start life without Steve Nash who retired, there is Log Jam at the front court for the Suns, and rumors are going on about a trade, Zach Randolph or Chris Kaman who they just signed, or even Robin Lopez, to get a PG in return cause right now the Suns only 2 true point guards are Louie Knight(62) and Vince Pollard(57). But yep its Trail Blazer season coming up, dont miss out.
