Juan Dixon, Damien Wilkins, and Antonio Daniels.

The Washington Post says that Juan Dixon will be meeting with the Trailblazers sometime this week. It is in the Wizards notes at the bottom of the article.

Here is Juan's profile. He is someone I was hoping the Blazers would draft in 2002, but he went to the Wizards ahead of us. Instead, we got Qyntel.

Also, it was reported on 1080 The Fan, as well as during courtside, that the Blazers met with Damien Wilkins last night. Damien is a RFA, and I believe Juan Dixon is a UFA.

Also, Nash said last night on 1080 The Fan that he does not know if we will work things out with Antonio Daniels, because he MAY want more years then Nash is willing to offer. Apparently Daniels wants a 5 year deal, with the Lakers (the other team in the mix) only offering two. Perhaps we could offer a four year deal, with the fourth being a team option.

Apparentl Damien Wilkins is a high energy hustle guy that Nate McMillan likes. Juan Dixon is a shoot first point guard. He's 6'3, so he's too small to play the 2.

I'd still prefer Antonio Daniels. Antonio is only 6'4, but he plays big and physical. He's a great guy off the court, and would be a great veteran leader to the young guys. He could start at the two, and backup the point. He's a slasher though. So, we'll see.
