Is Ibaka even that good anymore?

I mean, I think 15/8 with 38.5% from 3 is pretty good, but I'm easy...

 

[Natebishop3]

but I'm easy...

I have heard that about you.....

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Quick -- is he just trying to break a possible story without breaking it or just teasing fans / speculating on stuff --- i would love Ibaka

 

[LayneStaley]

I’d pass on ibaka, we need another wing if hood is gone.

Trying not to be too stalkerish (too late) but I don't see any private jets landing in PDX soon. There was just one that came in from Scottlsdale an hour ago. Would be really stupid to travel like this now during Covid.

I think Hood re-signs. Just something longer term even if it's not for much more money.

We all did that day.

thats sad.

Ellebe mentioned his contract will be taken care of this weekend, so we’ll find out soon whether it’s a two way or not. Swapping Mario for Kanter, we still have plenty of openings regardless.

His hat is red, black, and white?

That's what we love about you.

 

[illmatic99]

So, Toronto, Houston, Chicago, Miami, or Portland?

 

[Chris Craig]

Feels like Christmas

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

So, Toronto, Houston, Chicago, Miami, or Portland?

I was being facetious, but if we're playing the game.....

I don't think there'd be a need to fly to Toronto, as that's his current team.

Houston also has yellow as a team color, and there is no yellow in the hat.

Chicago, maybe. But they suck, so no.

Miami, I cannot rule out because they are good, and even when they're not.... why wouldn't you consider Miami.

So, I'd say Miami or Portland. Favor, Miami.

Wood or Ibaka?hmm

 

[tester551]

Wood or Ibaka?hmm

Personally, I'd go Wood.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

OK, what we know now is that Portland could have got Kanter and the 30th pick if they had wanted to use their trade exception. This hopefully means they've got higher hopes for that exception.

 

[illmatic99]

Oh hell.



Aldridge?

 

[craigehlo]

Wood or Ibaka?hmm

No way we can afford Wood. If we land the Surge Protector, I'll be stoked.

 

[Chris Craig]

Personally, I'd go Wood.

Me too

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

OK, what we know now is that Portland could have got Kanter and the 30th pick if they had wanted to use their trade exception. This hopefully means they've got higher hopes for that exception.

Or they really wanted to get rid of Hezonja, badly, or open that space up. Or all three.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Oh hell.



Aldridge?

Could also just be a reference to Kanter, since there was some back-and-forth grievances aired last year after he ended up in Boston...

That was some minor potatoes though. I don't remember the drama being that substantial.

Casey is not usually this up in arms about stuff. Don't think Kanter alone would warrant this kinda reaction. His recent tweets:






Putting my $ on Aldridge. S&T w/ Whiteside.

 

[Scalma]

Aldridge is a better guess than Kanter, I doubt anyone even remembers that back and forth and if they do it isn’t significant enough. Holdahl is probably just fucking around tho.

 

[Chris Craig]

Oh hell.



Aldridge?

The only way is a sign and trade for Whiteside

Band together is Kanter...i guess it could be LMA or Harkless

 

[tester551]

What? They USED the exception to get Kanter.

The deal would've been Kanter + 30 for 2-seconds. Portland got Mephis to give up the 2nds and to take Mario to get the #30,

 

[illmatic99]

Harkless would be nice. I'm just hoping it's Aldridge.

More likely just ET. ugh
