Ex-Blazers around the league (1 Viewer)

Bryce McGowens started and went for 23, 7 and 5 last night, but it was against the Lakers, so it's not that impressive.

Nurk in 19 min was 14-6-9 and a block

Utah has been getting Good Nurk (just as the Lakers have been getting Good Ayton). I'm going to see how long each lasts.

Norm Powell is probably the ex-Blazer doing best this season, although Josh Hart ain't doing bad. Jeez, what with them and CJ and McGowens, there're a lot of ex-Blazer shooting guards

Here's a couple old Blazers that I'm not sure we want back.

STILL MAD

Can we stop drafting good players only to trade them immediately on draft night? How about if we're going to trade them, make sure they're going to suck first.

Happy for him. Should've kept him over Duop.

One of the most frustrating players I've ever rooted for. Glad he is finding some success.

Anfernee Simons not tradeable?

Yahoo article here

The Boston Celtics have been expected to trade Anfernee Simons since acquiring him in the deal that sent Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers. The talented guard is in the final year of his $100 million contract and will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.

According to an NBA executive who spoke with Sean Deveney of Heavy on Sports under the condition of anonymity, the Celtics are struggling to find a willing trade partner for Simons. His $27.6 million salary for this season appears to be a stumbling block in negotiations.

“They’ve been trying to find a market for (Simons) for a few months now, and it is not there,” the executive told Deveney. “They’re still trying….“I think a lot of teams would like to sign him. But they do not want him at that price and they can just wait it out. The Celtics are trying but the market is not there.”

So glad he is not here - Olshey would bid against himself to resign him.

Just listened to a CJ interview and he's definitely made Oregon his permanent home. He said he's here every summer and still investing in his biz and farm. Has a lot of roots here. He would love to come back and retire a Blazer. Showed a lot of love to Oregon and the Blazers organization.

Man. If we can get him back as a spark off the bench, the time to consolidate and bring another star is now.

We already have Dame back. No desire to have Dame and CJ back together. Cost us years of mediocrity and I don't see either as a take us over the top player but Dame is closer than CJ.

I'd take CJ over any of our other current PG options but that isn't really saying much of anything.

I didn't get the impression it was going to be this season or anytime soon. CJ for the right price is a good bench piece and mentor for Scoot and Sharpe..he's had his last big payday. He's still buying land in Oregon...said he has properties with Pat Connaughton and investments with Ed Davis as well. He's already looking past his playing days and said Oregon is where he'll be when all is said and done. Wants his kids to grow up here. The interview is on Jeff Teague's podcast.

Guys gonna be 35 soon. It wouldn't be the same as it was 5 years ago. If he signed with us for a deal on an exception, pretty sure he would be open to being a sparkplug off the bench. We also have Jrue now who covers Lillard and CJs defensive deficiencies by allowing them to guard the weaker guard on an opposing team.
