Trade must be coming.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Frazier's deal this season is a team option iirc.

I suspect Frazier and Kaman are on their way out.

 

[Scalma]

Pressey>Frazier

This Bleacher Report app can be really annoying sometimes.

 

[BonesJones]

Yay!!!! Things are happening!!!

 

[RoyToy]

Phil Pressey is like 5-10

Fez finally gets his Barea clone

 

[Orion Bailey]

Pressey>Frazier

I would question that...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Funny that this should happen right after somebody reported that you can now assign 4 players that you cut in training camp to the D-League...

 

[DaLincolnJones]

yawn

we may have four that dont belong in the D league..

 

[Blazer4ever]

Pressey in an effective scoring PG, can be a very good option as 3rd PG. Olshey makes amazing moves, bringing underrated, under-the-radar players.

 

[RoyToy]

Pressey played 1 game in the D-League last year and put up 34pts and 9 assists

Time to celebrate

Ainge was supposedly very reluctant to cut Pressey. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.....

Yep. These two contacts (Presley and Alexander) are guaranteed only if they make the NBA roster imo. And they most likely won't. They either really surprise us and make the team or we keep their rights when we send them to the D-League. Works for me.

@BobbyMarks42: 2 nice pickups for POR today in P.Pressey and C.Alexander. Pressey should be able to compete for backup minutes. Big upside for Alexander

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Presley does come from good basketball stock. His father was a helluva good defensive player and is now a coach. So I expect his kid has a high basketball IQ. But Paul Pressey was 6'5" and Phil Pressey is 5'11". The elder Pressey must have married the shortest girl he could find.....

what the fuck..did he get drunk and bop a garden gnome?

Well.....I was trying to be a little more PC than that....but I'm sure it was a hot little garden gnome....

 

[Duvalier]

As of right now Pressey's the second best PG on the team.

 

[Blazer509]

The guy looks like a really High IQ basketball player. He played a bit for Boston last year, he looked solid. He's our backup PG.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So are we pretending we haven't been talking about Dellevadova all day?

 

[Blazer509]

I don't think we get Delly

Poor kid. He should've known the writing was on the wall the minute Damian befriended him. It's like being Dirty Harry's partner.

 

[Sinobas]

Another guy I've never heard of.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Another guy I've never heard of.

yeah..I have to admit that he was no where on my radar.

Effective? 25% from 3, 38% from 2, 66% from the FT line. Blah.
