Free Agent Blazers to sign Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

[santeesioux]

 

[julius]

the title is ours!

 

[Mr. Robot]

serious business is about to start... not

 

[Natebishop3]

But.... why?

 

[Driew]

But.... why?

We needed to get to the 14 roster minimum.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

 

[SlyPokerDog]

But.... why?

He'll be part of our defensive rotation.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Not bad. Decent defensive wing depth. Apparently Nassir Little doesn’t stay healthy for doing so little so he might come in handy for defensive purposes

 

[AldoTrapani]

But.... why?

Wing defensive depth. Couple free roster spots. Nassir Little doesn’t stay healthy

 

[Mr. Robot]

He'll be part of our defensive rotation.

he could be, but will he

stotts is not about defense, we know that

 

[Scalma]

Olshey actually signed the guy I wanted?? Hahahaha. No way RHJ should’ve been outta the league. Guy can’t shoot but knows his limitations, can rebound, is a decent playmaker, and a plus defender you can throw at almost anyone.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Welcome home, Rondae.

 

[Scalma]

 

[THE HCP]

Trace back far enough, RJJ is responsible for us being able to land Nurk!

 

[Scalma]

 

[Mr. Robot]

he cant shoot, but can he cut to the basket for some easy buckets

maybe stotts should play him with nurk

 

[TheGoldRanger]

RHJ will be the new Harkless.

 

[julius]

How long before we hear that he's really a better 3 point shooter than his stats show (from Hurd or Kent)?

Bet that's one of the things he does a lot of now.

depends which day Olshey makes them talk about it.

 

[DDolla]

Is he a guard? Asking for a friend

 

[Scalma]

It’s being reported to be a ten day. That leaves Olshey the option to go after a buyout, should a guy like Porter become available. If not, RHJ gets signed for the rest of the season.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

But.... why?

For his 3 point marksmanship obviously

 

[Scalma]

Fun fact: Last season RHJ had superior “RPM wins” to the following wings

Otto Porter
Jae Crowder
Andrew Wiggins
Demar DeRozan
Derrick Jones Jr.
Moe Harkless
Rodney Hood

For a mid season pickup, this was a good move. And with time I could probably convince myself he’s a better pickup than Porter would’ve been.

Is Porter a good player? Seems to have sputtered at best, but maybe the change of scenery would help.

Here’s Porter this season vs RHJ last season. The minutes per game were comparable (19 vs 21,) so this isn’t even a case of mop up minutes vs rotation player.



maybe we don’t even need Porter.

 

[Tince]

Got to think all of his minutes will come from Nas, if he plays.

Simons will be out of the rotation again.

 

[TBpup]

Kind of meh. Too bad he won't take some of Melo's minutes.
