I'm not fond of them passing on him either. Not sure if drafting him would've had an impact on the trade that garnered the Blazers the #6 pick from the Nets.

I'm not sure it would have had an impact, but if for whatever reason the choice was Faried or Lillard, I'd take Lillard. I'd much rather have both though.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

He's one conceited bastard.

Statistically Faried and Hickson are almost identical.... except Hickson is one year older and shoots a better percentage.

We kind of do. Isn't JJ the same kind of hustle player? Obviously there are some differences with Faried being a better defender and JJ being a better shooter. I agree the Blazers made the wrong choice between Faried and Smith, but PG's are harder to find than hustle players.

The match up tonight between Hickson and Faried will be interesting tonight.

on the start to his career -“It’s been OK, nothing spectacular, nothing over the top, just solid,’’ Faried said. “I’m more of a humble type, the I-can-get-better-type. I don’t believe in being complacent.’’

yeah, what a egomaniac

Yea, and that part about calling his mother after every game.

Total douche, right?

One theory is that Faried got red-flagged by Dana Sinclair, the Blazers’ team psychologist, who conducts a test with all prospective draft picks.

Pathetic. Time for another layoff Mr. Mcgowen.

i forgot how young jj is! fuck faried, we have a better one!

Not to say taht they're identical players, but their stats are very similar. So maybe that lessens the sting of not drafting Faried? We got Hickson for nothing

 

[Mediocre Man]

But can he coexist with LMA?

 

[Natebishop3]

He IS co-existing with Aldridge. Averaging a double-double is nothing to laugh at for any big guy.

I should have said can the team succeed with them together. I say no

I was talking about this qute, druggie:

“I think it’s disrespectful what they did, got my hopes up for nothing. Every time we play them, it’s a little extra motivation for me to come out and show them what they missed.’’

 

[RR7]

Then couldn't the same be said for Faried?

 

[RR7]

Pathetic. Time for another layoff Mr. Mcgowen.

Yeah, so she flags him, and somehow she was ok with guys like Oden and Martell?

I think the team was bullied into drafting Oden. Peer pressure is a bitch.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yes.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

druggie

you are pathetic

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i guess anyone clamoring for faried, or rejecting jj should get their shit together!

 

[Pinwheel1]

JJ probably co-exists better with LMA than Faried as he is better suited to play "some" center.

On the other hand Faried fits in better with Denver IMO since they have a 6' 10" SF playing on the outside in Gallanari.

The biggest difference is contract status going forward. I love Hickson but all things considered it would be nice to have Faried and his contract status. Especially since it is no gimmie at all that JJ is back next year.

I think there's a good chance he's back next year. Unless we do a sign-and-trade, I think he's a good guy, I think he fits our "window" and he's the kind of big that every team needs.

I am not a cap guru but a lot of people who are think there is little chance he is back because we are going to have to renounce his rights to get the cap space that Olshey keeps talking about.

Until Olshey does something really stupid I will give him the benefit of the doubt. So far h has made sound decisions. He has almost 4 more months to evaluate JJ and how he fits in with his plan.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Passing on Faried was a 'wink-wink' incentive thrown in to make another deal happen, I can't remember which...

 

[HailBlazers]

Yea we got Pritch-Slapped

Sorry if I'm missing on the sarcasm, but we supposedly passed on Faried as part of the Felton deal.

So, Denver fleeced us over twice on one deal.

 

[magnifier661]

I'll take Lillard and hickson over just faired and Wallace. I assume that we wouldn't make the deals we did to get jj and Lillard. So even though having farid would have been a huge plus; the karma police rewarded us with hickson and Lillard.

Sad but looks to be true. http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/i...assing_on_him_in_the_2011_d.html#incart_river
