I was with you Ryan, right up 'til this one. Give Kenny free rein? Even Mark
Berry is scared.

That's not why the Blazers gave him up for "Shorty."

Wrong. They shipped him out for someone who is a better defender at 5'10"
and who can run the court better than Kenny and can create/pass better than
Kenny. To be honest, he sees the court better than Kenny - at 5'10"!  A lot
of people aren't thrilled with Damon's point guard play but they aren't
wishing for the good old days with Kenny in control. They couldn't wait to
get rid of Anderson. The right move.
