Biggie opts out

[Scalma]

Replacement coming. Hopefully that’s the end of biggie in Portland.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Thank you God

I wonder what Amir Johnson is up to

 

[Scalma]

I still don’t understand how the team believes Hezonja is a better option than say Gerald Green. Gerald has been on a lot of teams, he knows how to adjust to a system on the fly. He actually played for Stotts back in Dallas, so the system wouldn’t be completely foreign

I'm not understanding this? I thought the date to get replacements had passed already?
Can the Blazers still get a replacement?

Yes. The deadline was just for open roster spots. Players can still opt out and teams can still replace them.

Maybe because he's been on a LOT of teams?

This is the first we've heard from Biggie since that social media business (drugs?). Is he okay?

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

That's right. Forgot about that.

I also believe teams have to turn in their initial Orlando rosters by midnight tonight.

He’s established himself in the second part of his career. He’d be on Houston right now if it was allowed.

Green, Crabbe, or Thomas if they want a vet that can play

Hartenstein, Bender, or Koumadje if they want to replace biggie for practice/look at a possible piece for next season.

If you want a vet that can play your a fool if your not looking at Joe Johnson!

Its 2020.

Biggie opting out is the basketball equivalent of, "if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Biggie should have listened to the 10 Crack Commandments.

 

[Scalma]

I hope the dude is ok, mentally, but basketball wise I couldn’t care any less that he’s not on the roster. Well actually I do care, but only because we get to replace him.

 

[julius]

Opt out of playing in Vegas or opt out of his contract?

Wut

 

[Mediocre Man]

I wonder if this will adjust our title hopes up?

Who is Thomas? Isaiah? Lance?

 

[e_blazer]

You know who’d be perfect? Skal Labissiere.

Just sayin’.

 

[julius]

Who is Thomas? Isaiah? Lance?

Tanqingeen. He's Slovenian.

Really....? Like really....?

There's nothing in his past or present that would indicate that and you immediately go to drugs? Somebody should throw a pie in your face for that bullshit.

dviss his last post on social media was of his desk with a baggy and white powder on the desk.....he erased all social media after posting it...it's on the forum somewhere....it's not a stretch to speculate it was certain white powders but it could have been something else...personally I hope it's not and he's fine...….nobody made that shit up......it was from his account...now he's opted out of playing as well....I hope he's mentally ok these days....also on a side note glad to see your video during the marches and Dame, Nassir and Hoodie joining in....

I checked his twitter account to see if it was fake and it wasn't at the time....I'm not even sure what thread it's posted on here

@dviss1 See what you miss when you stay away.

There were even other players posting things like "Praying for Biggie" as i recall.
