All the best to ET, he seems like a genuinely good guy. Atlanta has young talent, to say the least, and he can be a solid addition with post season experience.
So I know nothing of Bazemore, please someone sum up what this will do to the lineups.
 
Evan Turner be like:

Maybe Hood's agent knows what type of deals he will get and told Neil what the outlook of him returning are? (Not good)
Or maybe Neil just feels like Kanter is needed more and decided to go in that direction for the MLE.
You are right about Meyers, we may need him until Nurk gets back

Neil already knows what Hoods market is, I’m very sure of it. Look at how quickly guys agree to deals after the clock hits midnight on July 1 (or in this case the afternoon of July 30th) Those deals arent negotiated within an hour lol.
 
One more thing, do you think this has any bearing on moving CJ?

I know you as well as everyone has been mad at Meyers over the years, but I'd entertain keeping him and bringing him back if he wanted to play for less.

He's a great teammate and I think he's found his niche here.

If by less you mean half as much, then I agree.

Yeah I agree, that was my point. If Neil doesn't know for sure, Hoods agent has a pretty good idea.
I think acquiring Bazemore was a clear response to that.

It's simply an observation to temper expectations.

No one expects him to have such a high usage rate.

We expect him to hit open threes, play defense, and show and go to the rack.

Why would we expect him to have a higher usage rate than the guy he's replacing?

Yeah and I think the Woj line about Hood was the first clue. And good for Hood. He deserves to get paid. I think we’ll be ok too. I think Simons is a more dynamic scorer than Curry was, so we may not need another bucket getter like Hood as much. But man, we’re putting a lot on Simons shoulders. They must feel real confident in him.

I think the point was that since his usage rate here will be significantly less than it was in Atlanta, his production will be as well.

I never even said he would have an high usage rate.

I simply said, he won't have as high of a usage rate than he has had so far in his career, so his raw numbers will suffer. It's a simple observation. You don't even disagree so I don't understand what the problem is here.

Maybe it's just me, but I wasn't all that impressed with Hood.

His 10.9 PER agrees with you, but he did step up in the playoffs so that’s probably inflated his value and the perception. I wanted him back, but that’s because there weren’t really better options to fill his role on the market. Bazemore is a fine replacement.

Don't disagree there. It's just when I look at a player, I look at the whole year. Not just a couple games.

See: Meyers.

I wonder if maybe you need to try a different font or something. Somehow every (completely reasonable) thing you post today is getting (inexplicably) misconstrued by someone (myself included).

I don’t know what people are smoking. Kent Bazemore had a horrible effective Field goal percentage of 47% last season. That’s the same as Evan Turner.
Maurice Harkless has never been that bad. Harkless shot an effective field goal percent of 53% last season.
This is a sideways trade for Evan Turner.

Yeah they are both meh imo, I think the reaction shows just how tired of ET the Blazer fanbase was.

I would sign a veteran PG and put Simons at SG. I would not trust Simons to run the offense at this point.
 
ET is a class act...great locker room leader...awesome dude! Wish him great success in Atlanta...that team is going to be really good! He'll be a great influence on all their young rookies which I'm sure was a big selling point from our side! I like ET! He just didn't fit here that well. I think he's happy to play in a different system for his skill set.....he hates the 3pt shot
