Blazers sign Tony Snell

[MickZagger]

I’ll take his shooting coming off the bench. But damn, this roster has just kind of moved laterally

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

BGD wears skirts.

Not.

Suede.

 

[Labinot41]

Lillard's Cousin according to Highkin

 

[B-Roy]

Ironically I think Snell/Zeller is an upgrade over Kanter/Melo, especially in the post-season but like.....come on.

This shit is still a first round exit roster.

Lillard's Cousin according to Highkin

he's close to dame. they've worked on his albums together.

this is worrisome but it also was tweeted in the midst of the Laker news-- not necessarily anything to do with Snell.

 

[BBert]

Terrible advanced stats - good shooter.

He’s a taller Ben McLemore.

So the McLemore signing was a mistake. Can we get out of it?

 

[All Net]

We signed Mclemore, Zeller and Snell as new players in the most crucial offseason.

Exactly. Lillard will be saying good-bye if we can’t do any better than this.

 

[Pinwheel1]

You guys crack me up. Another one of those Milwaukee players that some were begging for. (In a trade for CJ)
Now he is crap at 29. Personally, I never thought he was as good as others did, but coming off the bench he seems to be a good signing.
He does have playoff experience.

It does feel like we are finding replacements for ANT and/or Little. Which makes sense because they are our only young assets with value and I am sure they are being asked for in all PF trades.

 

[PDXFonz]

Pretty much

Anybody check and see if Brian Scalabrine wants to come out of retirement?

SMH

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I literally cannot imagine a more uninspiring signing. I would sooner have an open roster spot. By far.

 

[perkinsfor3]

theyre back to adding one dimensional players. we need ball players. malik monk would've been interesting, not tony fucking snell. and even if they missed out on monk due to him wanting to go to LA - then focus on getting THT.

then again, it was a signing you knew was coming.

 

[GDiama]

He is terrible. There is a reason this 57% 3pt shooter and 100% ft shooter didn't play in playoffs

 

[illmatic99]

Not afraid to take the big shot:

same can't be said for the guy who signed him

 

[Sedatedfork]

This might be the first gastropod the Blazers have ever signed!

 

[Scalma]

That’s crazy the blazers didn’t sign Kawhi for the minimum



btw the four is so open I gotta think something is in the works. Maybe it’s just Millsap, but they’re not done.

 

[illmatic99]

Solomon Hill beat him in the rotation in the playoffs.

OK, I value your opinion. Why is he terrible for our bench? He has started games in every season he has played.
80 starts in 2017. What makes him so bad.

Much like Ben, all the tools, 0 intrinsic motivation. 0 improvement since coming in the league. Will never do anything more than the bare minimum on court - no creativity, no dynamics. Very easy to scout for opposing teams and will ararely take a shot when covered too close, since he doesn't take his man off the dribble, doesn't cut a lot, doesn't attack mostly.

 

[Strenuus]

Might as well have Neil come out and say Dame is available at the deadline. What a fucking joke.

Fuck you Neil, you ruined the last 10 years. Fuck you.

 

[handiman]

You guys are comical. Maybe Dame gave Neil a list of guys to go after, and Snell/McLemore/Zeller were on it? That's as based in facts as all the woe-is-me crap in every thread at the moment.

 

[JDC]

I'm not going to fret too much on minimum signings on guys that aren't projected to be in the reg rotation, but I will be a little disappointed if Justin Jackson and Frank Ntilikina also go for the minimum.

Ours is based on facts.

Nice try.

Neil is a fucking joke. Surprised this hasn't been 100% unanimous since 2016.

It's not about minutes or minimums... its about the joke of an offseasonn this already is and could be worse if Neil does what Neil does and fucks up the rest of it.

You know Dame & Chauncey age giving input on 1 year contracts and targets for the big one? Whatever we end up with come fall both Dame & Chauncey have their sig's all over it!

 

[cheesehoff]

I don't get what some of you think Olshey could possibly do with no cap space. Yes, it's his fault they are in this position, but all-stars aren't signing for the league minimum. The 3 fa's that have signed will contribute and make the second unit better than last year.

No shit, trades havent heated up just yet and the two guys everyone is slobbering over are still with their teams.

 

[Strenuus]

good job Neil! Fucking idiot.

 

[Strenuus]

Olshey. Yes, it's his fault they are in this position,

Thats the only truthful part in that entire post.

 

[Hoopguru]

good job Neil! Fucking idiot.

Have you seen all the million dollar dime store deals that have happened?
