I really didn't expect a thing from the guy, so while it sucks that he is injured yet again, it's really not that big of a loss. Anything he would have given the Blazers would have been a plus, but at best, he was going to be the 8th or 9th man.

It's a major loss because we were already as thin as Barton at guard, due to Olshey, who thinks like a Clipper, signing Ronnie Price just because he's Lilliard's friend.

Who is the MORON who gave away Diebler for nothing?????
 
Wait, we're now upset that diebler got traded?!
 
That's too bad. I feel sorry for him. I was hoping he would surprise us all, but that was a long shot.

So that leaves Wes and Barton, (along with others that can fill in -Pavlovic, Smith and Batum) Not sure I would go after a vet at this point. (i.e a Raja Bell type) I am excited to see what Barton can do. I anticipate some ups and downs. I assume he will be better in March then he is in Nov/Dec
 
Why do the blazer staff let these guys play basketball???? It's obviously bad for their health.

This opens up time for Barton. But this season is about two things: Development of the youngsters and the Cody Zeller draft.

Circa 2005-2006 season.

The #1 pick is projected to be a tall white american center? That can't be good.

Has Shabazz made it into UCLA yet?
 
Look at the happy news. Good thing Roy, the SG we cut because he kept getting injured, is playing great for the Wolves while Elliot, our new SG, keeps getting injured.

(Just thought I'd spell out my previous post for ya.)

He was going to be our back up shooting guard and arguably still had more potential than the likes of Smith, Barton, Babbitt, Claver and Freeland.
 
Lets just bring back Chris Johnson (lower left corner of pic) for the hell of it at this point. It doesn't look like his spot is secure within the hornets.

We need to trade for a SG. Jon Diebler or Travis Diener.
 
Sigh. On the plus side, SG is probably our most stacked position. Batum plays best there, Wesley, Barton and Nolan's best position is probably there as well.
 
Tank the season.
Draft Shabazz.
Lillard/Shabazz/Batum/Aldridge/Leonard
Put it on the board--Hushmazilly...championship!
 
Stop with all the who's next ans whoa is me crap, people. KP drafted high risk, high reward guys. Only one of those players, LaMarcus Aldridge, has been a high reward. If you look back to any draft KP was involved in, you will see that this is a pretty easy fix

2006

Aldridge - Hip surgery on left hip at UT
Roy - Knee injuries in both high school and college
Rodriguez - Unproven Euro
Freeland - More unproven Euro

2007

Oden - Wrist injury in college. Reports some medical staffs said his knees looked like an old man before the draft
Fernandez - Unproven Euro
Koponen - More unproven Euro (Not a Euro, I know)

2008
Bayless - No injuries, but slid in the draft and KP took a gamble on him
Batum - Injury scare with heart issue before the draft. Unproven Euro

2009

Claver - Unproven Euro and injuries before the draft

2010

Babbitt - No injuries. But anything but high reward guy
Williams - Injured knee before the draft in a workout


So to me, it seems the plan of high risk, high reward was more bad than good. Stop doing that, and the injuries will likely go down
 
It's a bummer for Elliott and we fans who really wanted to see what he could do. But it is what it is and we POR fans unfortunately continue to have to deal with this injury crap, seemingly much more so then other teams. It appears a very good thing we drafted Barton and that he may be pretty good for a 2nd rd pick as he may see considerable playing time. This also means there could be more time for Batum at SG especially if a guy like Claver can at least show he is adequate for 10-15 minutes per game.
 
Once again, I forgot about Sasha Pavlovic. So, basically half our roster could play SG.

No reason to spell it out because the "playing great for the Wolves" comment is so absurd at this point it was not worth reiterating. I hope Brandon does come back and plays great. And I have never written him off. But do I have to spell it out for you? He has not played great because training camp is still weeks away.

But I do wish him well.

You didn't really just type this did you? 🤦

I should have clarified better. I know it's in Europe, but I consider the Finns, Swedes and the Norse people different for whatever reason

My brother is a teacher in Finland. He gets paid in Euros. Nuff said.

So if he can't secure a spot on the Hornets (a team that is lacking for big men) what's the use of us having him? CJ is a waste of roster space and I'm not sure why anyone is high on him.

Edit:

After looking further, he isn't even on the roster:

This sucks!!! I was really looking forward to seeing him play this season and thought he would be impressive.

I know it's in Europe. Alaska and Hawaii are in the US, but I still consider them different as well. It's just the way I think, not what I know to be true
 
I consulted my ouiji board, and it turns out the only way to lift this curse is a ritual burning of the entire Blazers training staff. I'll bring the marshmallows.

How is this a training staff issue?
 
So much for Elliot Williams NBA trading card. It looks like its not worth anything even if it was in mint condition and in a plastic sleeve.

Same. I am very disappointed. I swear they are playing on concrete floors at the PF.
