Blazers have expressed interest in free agent center Festus Ezeli.

[Chris Craig]

anyone know why he has only played 46 games each of the last 2 seasons -- i know he is kind of injury prone but that's not good

Cause Coach Kerr is an asshole

 

[ripcityboy]

Pass.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

WTF is quick trying to even say?

I know - it sounds like the Blazers are waiting to hear from Olshey. Franchise schizophrenia.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This time it'll be for real:

[Mediocre Man]

Plan AA?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That was actually a very unimpressive outing; he is pretty much unchallenged on most of the baskets.

 

[Bandwagonfansince77]

Plan AA?

Seriously, I will lose a lot of interest in the Blazers if we sign him. He is a Warriors dreg, a castoff. No thanks...

 

[e_blazer]

Pass.

In favor of whom?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

More importantly, look at Ezeli (and also Marjanovic):

In favor of whom?

A trade? I've got no idea. It does't really matter. I guess Ezeli Is as good as anybody out there. Probably have to overpay him though.

So you want to be in the upper right hand corner, and lower left sucks. Look at where Leonard is.

It was just a hunch yesterday but it seemed he might be the only one left.

I'm not high on Plumlee...as your article said, the only thing he really brings to the table is passing, which is not high on the priority list for what you want in your center. He's simply a decent backup. And Ed Davis is a good small ball center but we could probably use a bigger presence inside.

I think Portland may regret trading RHJ for Plumlee.

Whelp... he is unrestricted... AND he's ~32 IF he came to Portland... we could call him "Zsa Zsa Patchouli!"

I guess... when u can't get all the good looking dudes together (i.e. your Parsons, Dames, etc.)... you've got to immediately start scooping the sludge from the bottom.

 

[Sinobas]

what?? I hope someone is feeding Quick BS. Why would we go after Paculia? Hes' not really a force on offense or defense. Just a fill in off the bench.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm getting more and more depressed... Wtf is the point anymore

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

OK, somebody has to do it; let's look at the centers we have been interested in and missed so far:
1. Whiteside
2. Horford (apparently not interested in us)
3. Mahimni (might have got him if we had shown immediate interest instead of chasing a Whiteside who was apparently using us)
4. Pau Gasol
5. Ezeli
6. might have been interested in Cole Aldrich but lost him while dillying around with Gasol.
7. And here are with someone we were never really interested in but the only one we can now afford, Mr. ZaZa Pachulia!
With ZaZa we have a guy who is not only too old to be a future asset but not really even good enough to make much difference now.

Aren't there a couple young guys that we could sign cheap and hope they develop into something? Is Olshey making the same mistake he made when he acquired Affalo; thinking we just need a small boost to be a contender?
