Chris Haynes sucks!

[craigehlo]

I think the offer sheet thing is just a reporter trying to the get the scoop first out on Twitter. He'll learn to check more sources next time rather than take the agent's word for it. I'm still a Haynes fan.

Haynes can redeem himself at Summer League.

Haynes can redeem himself at Summer League.

He has A LOT of redeeming to do.

Step one: get away from Jaynes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Haynes killed it with the draft. Great coverage of the combine.

Totally blew it with Batum. It was pretty obvious he was used as Kahn's mouthpiece to get these empty threats out.

Either Kahn or Mamadou.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Mamadou's a player. Bouna's the agent.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Batum has to get a different agent.

His job is to get his client, a RESTRICTED free-agent, the right contract -- Ndiaye went out of his way to burn the bridge with Portland. And it failed miserably.

 

[Natebishop3]

Mamadou's a player. Bouna's the agent.

Mamadou WAS a player... and I'm being facetious

 

[BrianFromWA]

there's another one...he's 7'5 and 18y/o

 

[BlazerCaravan]

there's another one...he's 7'5 and 18y/o

Can he shoot the 3?

 

[BrianFromWA]

He's not Manute Bol, man, for goodness' sakes! The fighting N'Daiyes are from Senegal...Bol's Sudanese.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I don't think it matters where he is from - a lousy agent is a lousy agent.

 

[Natebishop3]

Are we sure it's not the same guy pulling a Dikembe?

 

[BrianFromWA]

It's more likely that it's one of Dikembe's kids.

Nice . . . I wrote a response to Haynes article saying he had it wrong. It was civil and worst part was asking him to check facts before writing article because Blazer fans are knowledgable and deserve this.

You should tell him that he should have just written his article but not submitted it, just like David Kahn.

That would have lasted 30 seconds.

Sad thing is all the comments believe the Blazeres have 72 hours and he won't even clarify it for them. Rather mislead Blazer fans then admit he is wrong.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I agree, I think Ndiaye was the main guy feeding Haynes his "inside' info.

When Batum said his first choice wasn't Portland, Haynes peppered his twitter with "Batum wants out", "Batum's heart isn't with Portland", "Batum's dream..." blah, blah, etc., etc.

But we don't "own" him so the Blazers' #1 priority should be happiness (Ndiaye's) above business.

nah you're talking/thinking like a fan.

Ndiaye is doing everything he can to get Nicolas more money and put him on a Rick Adelman coached team ... and Nic has taken almost none of the heat from fans. What's the problem here?

 

[BrianFromWA]

That was what I was missing at first. I figured agent was supposed to get client most money. But Ndaiye went with the first offer (and cancelled all other interviews) and is pushing for his client to go to one specific place. That doesn't ever work out for "most money". You don't get both as an RFA.

So he could stay here for the money the "market" would give him, or he wants a S&T to one particular team. You don't have leverage that way, sorry.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Dwight is at it again.

You know it's bad when Quick calls him out like he did last week.

For Dwight, the worse the Blazer get, the better for him.

I don't follow any of these dicks! What did he tweet this time?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Dwight Jaynes ‏@dwightjaynes
Batum contract will be a bigger handcuff RT @KristopherLake: but you know Por will take all 72hrs to match. So Minny is handcuffed in FA.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Brian FromWA @dwightjaynes @KristopherLake Disagree. 8 players on rookie deals, no big extensions coming up, 2 players making 8 figures #lolhandcuff

I wish I could just go off on him! I cracked on him hard last spring on twitter and my boss and some others told me he's really pissed at me. Sits in the media room staring at me. Work with him every now and then for CSN and he just gives me dirty looks! I love it. I was told not to bash on him anymore. I called him a lazy fatass once and then asked him where he hides the dead squirrel he used to rock on his dome........

Maybe I'm wrong, but this might qualify as bashing on him

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I don't have an account, I have to make one just to debate old man Dwight.

 

[THE HCP]

Hahahaha this is why we like you!

You should see him...... I'll take a pic this fall. I only get out of the TV truck from about 4:30 til 5:45 on game days. So after dinner I'll sit down on the bench during shoot around with other media guys. He'll walk by me and just mean mug me........ he'll sit across the court and just give me dirty looks. It's hilarious. I think the lego hair comment I made to him pushed him over the edge!

The dude used to have an AOL account and I would get into it with him on IM back in the 90s lol.

I'm about to make an account.

I'm thinking I'll go by: Hammersticks Fez
