I'll take him if they also send back Kyle Anderson or one of their stashed big men.

 

[Natebishop3]

NO

Who cares, I mean really? Good for them. They can sign Gasol to a stupid contract instead of us.

 

[Chris Craig]

Crabs for Noel come on Neil!

He didn't say good things happen for a reason

I thought he was implying we should trade for Diaw

We are blazer fans, we are the ultimate masochists. Nothing good happens and we get beat, but are told to like it because "hey at least the team isn't in Seattle lolz"

I'd actually take him too if we could get Anderson AND Bob(an) in a S&T (or really just make SA not fight our offer to him if we take Boris).

So what sport can we all shift to?

I've just become a fan of curling

The only sport worth a damn anymore, football... At least ANYONE can win in the NFL, I'm serious about that too... All it takes is a few good drafts with a good coach and any team can win unlike the NBA.

 

[Gronk Brady]

At this point I would just offer Boban 4/36 and bring back Crabbe, Meyers, Harkless and call it a day... I just want this to end so I can stop refreshing my phone every minute for updates... My eyes hurt lol

Everybody's doin' it!

It isn't even a game any more guys..... it's a glorified pickup leagues where you get one of your buddies to switch teams every season. I love the Blazers but I'm not going to pretend that this is a winnable aystem. And let's enjoy Dame and CJ because the clock is running folks. I'm just never going to put a positive spin on being a fan of an small market NBA team. There is no tomorrow. It's like La Liga, there's Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico, and the rest are feeder clubs.

The NBA is no different than La Liga... There's whatever team LeBron is on, the Warriors and the Spurs. KD going to the Warriors is like Messi giving the dueces to Barcelona and going to Real Madrid.

Yeah but there is a major difference.
Teams like Seville can win the Europa, Copa Del Ray and Supercup. They may not win the major titles but they have a chance at lesser domestic honors. Also, the league has enough talent for lesser talents to stay. There are longtime on teams that keep fan interest because there's enough talent to go around. Not every player can be a "Galatico." Even the MLS realized this with DP rules and made it hard for better players to leave. The Portland will probably have to sell Adi for $$$$ but Nagbe and Valeri aren't going anywhere. You're going to see the MLS become a lot more popular in the upcoming expansion.... esp in small markets.

 

[TBpup]

Decent defender...

 

[Boise Blazer]

Has anyone seen anything on Larry Sanders?

 

[Gronk Brady]

Decent defender...

Yuck... no thanks!

 

[ripcityboy]

Poor Neil. He's probably feeling like Jack Elam in Support Your Local Gunfighter whenever he draws to outdraw James Garner.

"I'm slow Jug...... but you're the slowest!"

 

[tlongII]

Leicester City

 

[ripcityboy]

Leicester City

And Blackburn..... what 20 years ago...... and they bought a ton of players. That is a one in a billion chance that never happen again. Thr exception proves the rule here. The PL is the worst possible example.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Has anyone seen anything on Larry Sanders?

I got into it after Shandling died. About to start season 4.

 

[TBpup]

Another former #2 pick. Go Neil, go!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Jerry West: "Don't be like me, a universally revered icon who spent his entire career with one franchise and became its face and also literally the symbol of the NBA, be like Robert Horry!"

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Any minute now Evan Turner will DeAndre Jordan us and sign somewhere else for 4/35.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is there a chance they could still sign Ezeli? Are they just trying to send a message that he needs to come down on his price? Is there anyone left who really needs a center and is willing to pay 9 million a year? Would he sign a one year contract with Blazers?

 

[PDXFonz]

1 year 5 mil for Hibbert is a great deal for the Hornets.

 

[TBpup]

Sadly, that about sums it up.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Any minute now Evan Turner will DeAndre Jordan us and sign somewhere else for 4/35.

And that would be bad because...

 

[Sinobas]

Why don't the Blazers go after Dickey Simpkins? He's a FA.

Here is a Dickey Simpkins highlight.

 

[Natebishop3]

Sadly, that about sums it up.

Well.... they traded for Rose.

Jennings sucks. He barely played off the Magic bench.

Noah is washed up. He was constantly injured last season.

Lee was a joke last season. He barely played for the Celtics.

Are those guys supposed to be big signings?
