Loved Billy Ray as a kid. Later in life, I dated a girl from the Phillapines who knew NOTHING about sports....but knew Billy Ray because he had played in some league over there for a cup of coffee.

Awesome! I was in high school and the run he had with the team was crazy!

I'd be shocked if we see any of RHJ this season, any meaningful minutes, I mean.

I think he will play, especially if/when the team keeps giving up 2,000 points a night. He’s been a rotational player all five seasons he’s been in the league (so terry will trust him) and more importantly defends. He’s also a versatile defender, meaning he could theoretically guard 1-5. He’ll get on the court imo.

2,000 points a night? I really am on an island and I don’t mean Hawaii.
 
Watch this guy come in here and get into shape and just explode! I would just love to see that happen.
What if he started giving 10-20 mins a night of absolute lockdown defense and made 6-8 points a night?

I honestly would be more surprised if he didn’t play and make some sort of impact. And since it doesn’t look like Otto Porter or anyone else is getting bought out before tomorrow’s deadline, I’d also be surprised if he didn’t stick the rest of the season. Maybe even beyond.
 
Is this guy ever gonna get signed?
 
Stotts needs to find a damn way to utilize one guy on the floor that doesn't shoot at a time. Integrate some more movement and cutters and have one of him and Jones on the floor at all times. We could hide things a lot better if 2 of Powell, RHJ, Jones, and Covington are always on the floor and Melo only plays with Nurkic and as a small-ball 5 with Covington and RHJ out there.

It was for longer than a cup of coffee. He played for 4 years and averaged like 45pts a game.

Might as well say he needs to how to become invisible.

You’re telling me iso ball with the occasional pick and roll isn’t good enough for you?

TRAIL BLAZERS SIGN RONDAE HOLLIS-JEFFERSON TO 10-DAY CONTRACT


PORTLAND, Ore. (April 8, 2021)–The Portland Trail Blazers have signed free-agent forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to a 10-day contract, it was announced today by president of basketball operations Neil Olshey.


Hollis-Jefferson, 26, spent the 2019-20 season with Toronto, posting averages of 7.0 points (47.1% FG, 73.4% FT), 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 18.7 minutes in 60 games (six starts). He signed a training camp contract with Minnesota on December 3, 2020 prior to being waived on December 19.


A five-year veteran, Hollis-Jefferson (6-6, 217) holds career averages of 9.3 points (44.8% FG, 21.3% 3-PT, 73.8% FT), 5.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.94 steals and 22.6 minutes in 294 games (153 starts) with the Nets and Toronto. After two seasons at Arizona, he was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 23rd overall pick of the 2015 NBA Draft and then dealt to Brooklyn in a draft-night trade.


Hollis-Jefferson will wear No. 2 for the Trail Blazers.
 
How is this guy different from Derrick Jones or Evan Turner? Why does Olshey get a player who can't shoot, and can't play in the Stotts system?
