I think it comes down to how much the Blazers think he can improve still. Obviously we are a bit off from each other in what we think his upward curve still is.

Leonard has been in the league four years. The improvement has been minimal in that time.
 
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

But its well known that bigs take longer to develop. Listen. I'm not saying he is a shoe in to improve. In fact, I have my concerns. But if he does, I think his value to the team will be bigger than Crabbes.

Wow. With those two, and Ed Davis, I might have to reconsider my stance on not changing the rules to reward teams with bad free throw shooters.

Schonz would never come to a game again.
 
Outside of the absolute F-CK NO, it wouldn't be in line with Olshey's plan. He wants to bring in players and sign them to deals relative to their age and cap space. Howard would TOTALLY F-CK THAT UP! So Im thinking this would be a VERY bad idea!

Never know. We might not even have Ed Davis next season?

Same with Gasol, but someone here fell in love with him and can't see reason. ;) (Not you.)
 
Two guys we don't talk much about that I think will improve a lot going into next season are Montero and Vonleh..both have a ton of talent and need a strong offseason workout plan. I have high hopes for both those guys moving forward. I want to keep Brian Roberts around too.
 
That's unfortunate.
But not a done deal. If we're lucky he'll go someplace less "favored".
 
Is this forum going to just explode tonight after we take care of business or what???

The energy, the passion. IT feeds us all regardless of our differences.

I'm soooo ready for tip off. Let Dwight be a conversation for after the playoffs the more I think about it. Lets focus on the now. Fuck Dwight. Fuck Trades, fuck Free agency.., NONE of that shit will help us now, so lets just kick some ass until the off season!!!!

If we are looking for shot blockers Biyombo could be the guy we are looking for. He fits the age range too.

Yup, this would be a great addition, at least in a vacuum. I don't know how many defensive-minded pick-and-roll guys the team wants to hoard, alongside Plumlee and Davis, when they don't have very many credible shooters in the front court.

If they could trade Plumlee for decent value, Biyombo would be a great addition.
 
Since he relied so much on athleticism in his prime, the injuries have made him a shell of his former self. But besides that, my impression of the guy is that he's just not a team oriented player, and he doesn't approach his profession the way winners/champions do. He's never struck me a fierce competitor, like Kobe. More interested in looking cool, being superman, and joking around.

This is his actual reaction to a James Harden game-winner in the playoffs.

Pretty sure he's not on Olshey's radar.

I'm closely watching the Raps/Pacers and Hawks/Celts because I think there's a good chance Toronto or Atlanta could blow it up if they're knocked out.
 
I like Biyombo a lot. He is my number 1 underrated big signing (with Aldrich #2).

Look at everyone else though. Maybe they were cautious to celebrate because the Warriors are known to make redonk shots to win games.
