Free Agent Blazers Sign Ben McLemore

[illmatic99]

Uh what

 

[Chris Craig]

Is that tweet legit?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

IF vet minimum then ok.

 

[B-Roy]

Please be the minimum please be the minimum please be the minimum

 

[Scalma]

“Followed by Damian Lillard”

btw I’ve always liked mclemore. Always thought there was more to his game, but he’s a solid shooter.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I'd keep Simons and Little in front of him but I'm starting to feel Neil is getting ready to thin the roster at the wing...

Hope we get to keep Little.

 

[B-Roy]

This man is fine, as long as it's for the minimum and there's no guaranteed role. He's a sub-10 PER for lifer.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

37% from three on 5 attempts per….

Ugly advanced stats - Luke Babbit-esque.

 

[James lamphear]

Here another player that can come in and give you quality minutes.

 

[Scalma]

Btw if Zeller is on a minimum no way is mclemore anything more than the minimum.

 

[illmatic99]

He's not a rotational player. I hope he's the DJ replacement as the 10th man when we trade DJ and pick(s) for someone talented.

Or maybe it's a favor to Klutch.

Please be the minimum please be the minimum please be the minimum

im getting a sinking feeling that this might be the minimum and Zeller was for the TPMLE

I got him on Basketball reference at 39% last year on 5.4 shots a game.

 

[Natebishop3]

Simons replacement?

 

[-Ace-]

Not enough 6'3" guards on the team.

 

[tykendo]

Ben McLemore had a decent year with the Rockets, but is an inconsistent shooter. But he has size and can potentially be a quality role player.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Here another player that can come in and give you quality minutes.

How is his defense?

 

[illmatic99]

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Simons replacement?

or CJ? Why would we need 4 small guards?

 

[Mr. Robot]

mans happy that hes gonna get few millions

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Not that PER is the end all, be all but man that (And most of his other advanced stats) just aren't good. Only let this guy come in for a few minutes and jack up some 3's. Don't ask him to do ANYTHING else.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

He shot 41% on threes 2019-20

 

[B-Roy]

It's a bit odd we don't have Woj/Shams confirmation on the Zeller thing, but all the "one-year" deals I've seen getting reported are for the minimum. So gotta hope out.

This past year he played on 3 different teams. I am throwing those stats out. The year before when he played for Houston he made 181 3s (40%)
The year before that he was also over 40% but he got hurt so we can throw those stats out too. I could care less about his stats his first few years because they are not relevant anymore. He has looked pretty good the last few years ....defensively as well.

Seeing Laker fans react pissed from Ben signing with us gives me happy feels.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Seeing Laker fans react pissed from Ben signing with us gives me happy feels.

And they lost Caruso to the Bulls. They got Westbrook though and he'll save the day.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Simons or CJ on the move?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Seeing Laker fans react pissed from Ben signing with us gives me happy feels.

Living in LA I do watch parts of most Laker and Clipper games (along with every Blazer game)
So I got to see Ben play late in the season and I was surprised at well he played. He is a solid pick-up for the bench.

 

[julius]

Simons replacement?

by replacement I hope you mean "worse player".

 

[James lamphear]

He had decent defense rating so the players that we have sign so far as decent defense rating and that's looks like the direction where we are going.
