Actually, if you ask HCP he would like it if we were all horny teenage girls.

I saw Korver play 66+ games last season, plus the season before. He's not bad at all. He's a shooter, not a scorer, but he had a handful of decent scoring nights. He's a deadly 3pt shooter and shoots well off screens.

His defense is a lot better than I expected, considering he isn't so athletic.

8.5 PER against at SG, 11.6 against at SF

Is he a starter? Probably not going to get starter's minutes, but if you're going to do an SF position by committee, he's a solid guy to have around. You'll always want him on the floor at the end of close games, since he's a very good FT shooter and also can't be left alone at the 3pt line.

Plus he looks like Ashton Kutcher.

I would much much much much much rather have An overpaid Batum then 2 picks in the 20s and Korver.

I just kind of want PA to tell Khan to fuck off. I don't want petty shit for Batum. I would rather get nothing and not tie up our resources while helping out a division rival and rewarding an agent for being a prick.

Well I wouldn't read too much into that. Even without an offer sheet he'll still (eventually?) be able to negotiate with Nicolas and his fuckwad agent even if Minny doesn't present an offer sheet.

Minus Hibbert, it looks like he's full steam ahead with his plan B and isn't looking back, so that's at least nice to see, but it doesn't really affect Nic's situation I'm afraid.

It's important to get these other guys signed first before they have to sign Nic or take back other contracts in a S&T. The Blazers can go over the cap to sign Nic, but not to sign free agents. If Nic actually gets an $11M plus deal, that eats up something like $6M more of the cap space than his current cap hold does.

Even Jaynes feels this is the likely scenario.

Which one is not in a crappy sit-com and has not been married to a semi-crazy woman fifteen years his senior?

because I think most of those girls who liked Ashton were under 17.

We're not going to be able to trade Batum for our future perfect fit at SF!!!! It doesn't work that way!! Sheesh people.
We're collecting assets, assets that will work for us in a proper timeframe.

Its probably Kyle Korver. Why, you ask??? Korver is an experienced SF who knows what he is. He's not (never has been, never will be) a starting level SF, except for starting for us this next year while grooming Babbitt and Claver. He won't throw a tizzy-fit when we ask him to sit down. But he will stand in the corner and hit 3's.

Why else? Because he's only under contract for another year. $5M bucks will be expiring for us next summer!!! Together with Thomas' deal will make enough room that we'll have as much cap space as we had this offseason to spend. Not that the FA market is any better next July, it isn't, but the un-equal trading will allow us to do some creative things.

Most importantly......are you listening.......is that we'll be bad enough to earn another Lottery pick next year. Another chance at Lottery greatness!!!

 

[oldguy]

They don't HAVE to trade him, and I'd take overpaid Nic over cap space and meh picks.

Go Blazers

 

[e_blazer]

Well you'd better hope we're bottom 12 bad or Charlotte will get our chance at lottery greatness.

Yeah. Not much to dislike about a shooter who scored 5 total points in the last 4 playoff games combined. His defense may not be as good as his offense, but with numbers like that who cares? And to think he's only 30. Sky's the limit. He moves my needle, that's for sure.

I don't think that will be an issue for us this season.

And yet he's still WAY more accurate than you and the Minnietrolls.

I think when I said you 13 year old boys would have fun masturbating to our soft porn thread in the Beavers forum with your moms bra wrapped around your pathetic penis was pretty accurate?

Korver and two numbers 1's is good for Nic

That would be settling for shit.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Add Ridnour

Korver and two numbers 1's is good for Nic

maybe if it was the best they could do. But they have the leverage, not the Wolves.

 

[NorthBayBaller]

Korver and two numbers 1's is good for Nic

I agree. Keep going.

 

[BrianFromWA]

it's a decent starting point for me. If 2 1sts and Korver's non-guaranteed contract are what comes back for Nic at 11M, I'm ok with that. Now, I'd REALLY like to get Johnson or Ridnour with both firsts, or Williams with 1, but I'm ok with what's on the table. Drive 'em up, Neil!

 

[Mediocre Man]

I agree. Keep going.

You'd certainly have to add more

 

[Ed O]

Add Ridnour

I think that Ridnour would be used to get Korver, although I'm not sure.

Ed O.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Lol fuck that. Korver and mid 20's draft picks? No thanks.
