His stats are terrible

13 game sample size with some really good games and some really bad games offensively. His defense over those 13 games was really good though.

As far as free agent options he's about as good as we can do at replacing a small fraction of Hood's absence without a trade so I think he is someone that the Blazers should try to claim off of waivers. Then apply for the Disabled Player Exception and sign Faried.

That's two low end rotational players they could get without having to give up anything to get them. It would also leave the roster a little more balanced if they do make trades.
 
Dude is 6'5" not the ideal size for a 3 especially with two 6'3" guys in the back court. We don't need another guard, we have to acquire a small forward or a power forward and move Melo to the 3. Unless we pick up Shumpert with plans to move Ant, which would be horrible.

With except signing Faried, Fareid was always a guy who relied excessively on athleticism and he’s not getting younger, dont think he’s very good anymore. “Prime Fareid”, would be perfect, but even in his “highlight” reels from China he doesnt look like he’s all that dominant of an athlete anymore.

Last year on Houston his rebound % numbers were still in line with his prime years. I think our bench could really use a rebounding boost that he would provide. It's not like we need him to start and play 30 minutes a game though especially as the team gets bigs back healthy.
 
WE NEED A BIG WHO CAN PREVENT A LAYUP DRILL FOR THE OPPOSITION AND CAN GUARD PEOPLE WHO WEIGHT MORE THAN 200 LBS.
 
I wonder how guys like Shumpert still sign contracts with NBA teams.

The Nets really valued him and wanted to keep him but already had 15 other guaranteed contracts on the roster when Wilson Chandler's suspension ended.

If he was really 'that good' of player, why didn't they just cut someone else instead? They have several cheap players they could've easily cut instead. Nwaba, Pinson, Claxton, Chandler, etc. It's not like the Nets are in the Tax this year...
 
Another thing is that Carmelo's shooting has been horrible, it's a shame we couldn't have started Skal at PF , but I guess he was needed at backup center.
Couldn't Labissiere have taken the role of Collins, who played 3rd most minutes at the time of his injury? Another opportunity gone , to me. Instead we've had crap and now slightly better crap at PF.
 
Another Bazemore

Well I heard it came down to Nwaba or Shumpert but both had been playing well. Pinson seems like the guy I would've cut but they really like him for some reason and wanted to keep him around for his cheap team option next year. Claxton they just drafted and he has 3 years left on his deal so it would've been silly to cut him. They have a severe lack of PF's so they couldn't really cut Chandler. Shump's contract was the only non-guaranteed one.

Pretty sure he has several. With incense, candles, and the remains of a sacrificed animal of some sort.

Plus lube and a box of tissues.

It was reported yesterday that teams are asking for a 1st back for Love's contract. Giving up one instead seems like a bad deal.

I understand that's what other teams are asking for. But Cleveland isn't required to make a deal. If including a (protected) pick basically ensures our offer is the best one, are we best-served refusing to include a pick if we actually want the player?

Now, whether or not we actually want Love is a different story...

They can ask but it doesn't mean they’ll get it.

Right, but a compromise of no pick is the most I'd trade considering the player and contract let alone giving up Skal and Little too.

Yeah, I don't want Love so to overpay that much when it's pretty likely no other team is offering positive assets would be really bad in my opinion.
