Blazers interested in Spencer Hawes

[jlprk]

Because we need a backup big man?

The combined salaries are a lot for two medium-quality centers.

Portland GM Neil Olshey met with free agent Spencer Hawes and his agent, Greg Lawrence, tonight in Los Angeles, sources tell Yahoo.

Blazers are intriguing suitor for Hawes, who still lives in his native Seattle. Terry Stotts laid out how he'd use Hawes in meeting.

Big men are always overpaid.

Hang out at the 3 pt line and wait for the ball to be passed to you.

Spencer Hawes is all about the money. And you are right about the political views.

What did the famous Jack Nicholson say as the Joker?

"I like him already!"

 

[santeesioux]

Maybe Spence would give us the Northwest discount since we're the closest thing to his hometown.

Yeah, but he knew Bruce Wayne was talking about him as Jack Napier. He loved the ego stroke!

I like Lopez the hippie. Hawes is Redundant Right. We don't need a pair of the same thing.

I'd take Hawes over Frye easily. Hawes would bring instant offense to our bench. Upgrade our bench scoring immediately.

I agree.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Looks like first person Olshey meets with is Hawes agent in LA. . . . seems indicative of who is first on his list of wants.

 

[Hobbesarable]

I agree.

Besides, we can have TRob and Hawes in the 4/5 positions at the same time.

Following up @WojYahooNBA report on Spencer Hawes' meeting w Blazers ... Cavs interested, but told re-signing w team not priority for him.

Stotts loves his big men who can shoot from distance

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Have you seen his political views? MarAzul and the rest of the off topic board would love him!

I'm more worried about what he thinks about sign and trade, than cap and trade.

And that's how you get a sign-and-trade done.

Hawes makes 1.6 3s per game. Big deal.

[santeesioux]

I bet he's ours unless some stupid team with cap space offers him too much.

Eat.

My.

Shorts.

 

[Pinwheel1]

So if Hawes wants 8 mil per, and Cleveland is under the cap, we don't have to worry about matching salaries?

What scenario would benefit the Cavs? (Realistically)

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

He's younger. I think he has better numbers too.

Yeah, more points, more rebounds, more blocks, higher 2pt percentage, higher 3pt percentage, higher PER, everything. Hawes is definitely better than Channing Frye.

Another woj tweet: There's serious market for Hawes' ability to shoot and stretch floor, beginning with Cavs who are determined to keep him. Perfect for Blatt.

Olynick will be better than Hawes.

Darn, there's one of those stupid teams i was talking about.

 

[MickZagger]

We need to sell him on living out in Scappoose or Estacada or something. I know he's a super conservative and all.

Hawes is angling for the $$$ and Cleveland is willing to play it looks like.

Give him a plane from PA and he can commute for Klamath Falls!

Maybe Tualatin would work?

One racked up stats on a gimmick offense in Philly. The other was a key piece to a 50 win team.

I prefer Hawes as well going forward but Frye was a more effective player last season in my opinion.

Ptd is not exactly the best place for young white right wing males.
