Notice CJ McCollum Appreciation Thread

[RonBrewer]

I'm gonna miss him big time. He aggravated the hell out of me at times but there was far more good. Epitome of class act. Really hope he gets the chance to come back and retire a Blazer. He deserves that.

The biggest Blazer game since... 2000?

Absolutely

Appreciated your years here.

When the Pels play in Portland, he will get applause.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Boooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[MadeFromDust]

Even though I feel we should have traded him about 4 years ago, I'm thankful for the hard work and professionalism that CJ brought to the organization. Some good memories too.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

25 ppg — until Zion comes back.

 

[Scalma]

Good player not his fault his GM didn’t know how to construct a proper roster.

CJ finishes his time in Portland with the following:

5th all time scoring with 10,710. Trails Porter, Aldridge, Dame, Drexler
2nd all time 3 pointers
27th all time rebounds
8th all time assists
16th all time steals
26th all time blocks
9th all time games played
10th all time minutes played

I wish him well and success with the Pels.

I need some cases of pinot noir to get me through all the misery that I expect to see for the foreseeable future. These trades and the coaching change have been a living nightmare and it's just beginning.

 

[Lanny]

CJ will get a warm welcome when he comes back.

He'll certainly get it from me.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Class act. Great citizen. Established roots here. Well spoken. Intelligent. Amazing scorer.

He’s an all-time great Blazer and I wish him well in his future.

 

[PCmor7]

Big fan. Not a perfect player but I think better than he got credit for and was integral to a lot of success in Portland and always was a great representative of the Trailblazers. Happy trails and best of luck.

 

[Mr. Robot]

to be honest, im disappointed that he didnt wrote a letter or something, hes been in rip city for 9 years and has been one of the best players and i think this franchise, fans and city of portland deserved better goodbye message

it looks to me like hes butthurt, which is understandable, everyone would felt the same way after 9 years, but still...

 

[maxiep]

Sure.

I deleted my reaction to your post because I forgot it was an appreciation thread. Given the tenor of the thread, I was out of line in reacting to your comment. My apologies.

Oh man, no need to apologize. I enjoy all your post.

He was a helluva talent for our team on offense. I will still wear his jersey, until I buy a new one of whoever our first round pick is.
