Notice Chief has left

[Titan]

Bye bye Chief. Hope you have a good time in Orlando.

 

[crandc]

Godspeed. Wish him best.

 

[riverman]

Wish Chief well...he'll be back near family and I hope one day he becomes the Commissioner of Basketball Africa......he was in Italy with ET and Mo studying business.....he's hooked in over there and HE'S CHIEF!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CupWizier]

I like Chief a lot. I felt he was underrated by the fans.

But I also think he was overrated by Stotts and spent too much time on the floor!

Too much time on the floor? He seldom played over 30 minutes and averaged about 20 mpg while he was in Portland.

Ive got great respect for him and how he conducted himself while in PDX!

What are you talking about? He averaged 28.5, 29.1, 30.0 and 28.3 minutes a game in his 4 seasons with us.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Too much time on the floor? He seldom played over 30 minutes and averaged about 20 mpg while he was in Portland.

Whatever he played, it was too many.

By the way... it took two second to look up that his lowest MPG in Portland was this year at 28.3. His high was 30. So, check ya facts, FAMS!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I found Aminu to both be incredibly likeable and incredibly frustrating. Wish we could have him as a back up 3/4, but I wish him well!

 

[RonBrewer]

I love Chief, happy for him that he got paid. Never got the hate for him and hopeful we upgrade and as much as i liked him, i'm not sad that he's gone. He did go hard but it doesn't matter. Vanished too often.

It was a typo as i am on my phone, it was meant to say averaged around 29 min. The 9 and 0 are next to each other.

 

[Propagandist]

Thanks god, couldn't tolerate him anymore.

More "we" talk, superfan?

 

[barfo]

He was a good get when we got him, and he was worth the money he got paid while he was here. Farewell, Chief.

Glad Chief got paid....... Somewhere else.

So you were trying to make a point about him NOT playing too many minutes and went for 29 but missed the key and put 20?
On what team is Cheif playing 29 mins a game not too many minutes?
Really like Chief but he was not starter quality and should not get starter minutes. I wonder what Orlando will be getting for their 10 mil a year? Betting his minutes drop to 20 or less.

 

[handiman]

I'm so confused...

A) Aminu and Harkless are widely considered similar talents and redundant players, i.e., you can survive, and maybe even thrive, with one of them in a modest role, but not both.

B) Orlando signed Aminu for slightly more per year than his old contract with us, if I'm not mistaken.

C) His new contract is very close to that of Harkless.

D) Harkless is regularly listed among the bad contracts of 2016.

E) Some people here are saying that Orlando got a great deal and they wish we re-signed him for that dollar amount??

 

[BlayZa]

meyers news soon? cmonnnnnnnnn bball gods, work that magic!

 

[tiredhunter]

E) Some people here are saying that Orlando got a great deal and they wish we re-signed him for that dollar amount??

I'm in the camp of I'd have been happy to sign him for that amount, not that I think it is a great deal, but I think it is a trade friendly contract, for a team that is going to be over the cap for the foreseeable future.

We didn't trade him at any time over the past 4 yrs on a similar dollar amount...

I don't get it for Orlando. Aminu, Gordon, Isaac at PF. And just drafted Okeke. Not that the $$ is bad. Just don't see it. None of them should see much time at SF.

Gordon may get dealt. I could see the Spurs or Timberwolves Interested in him.

 

[riverman]

We just signed Mario Herzonjia to a one year deal

 

[illmatic99]

Gordon may get dealt. I could see the Spurs or Timberwolves Interested in him.

or us????

 

[GhostOfPGA]

or us????

I don’t think he fits our team very well. I’d be happy to facilitate a trade if they wanna move him though.

29 minutes is fine as he was the best option on the team at that position

 

[GhostOfPGA]

or us????

Something like:

POR: Aldridge

SAS: Gordon, Mozgov

ORL: Mills, Harkless, Leonard, Walker, and a pick?

 

[kjironman1]

29 minutes is fine as he was the best option on the team at that position

I disagree. 29 minutes was never fine with me at all.

 

[CupWizier]

I disagree. 29 minutes was never fine with me at all.

Ok, just curious who you would have played.

 

[BBert]

I disagree. 29 minutes was never fine with me at all.

That's what she said.

Get Holmes and Moreland.
