First rumor of the off season for the Blazers

[riverman]

According to Alex Kennedy....the Blazers are working out free agents Dwight Buycks and LaDontae Henton..now I just have to find out who they are

 

[riverman]

Summer league guys?

Dwight Buycks was a guy who looked really good in Summer League a couple of years back and played his way into a minor (very minor) bidding war. I think the Raptors signed him? I believe he played a little for Phoenix, as well, but didn't last the full season and was... on his bike.


I remember him being quick and active but a bit too much of a me-first player for my liking as a backup PG.

One is a pt guard and one is a SF so that's interesting

I'm sure there whole career will be followed. At what point do they become untouchables?

I'm sure there whole career will be followed. At what point do they become untouchables?

As soon as they convince Elliot Ness that they're not on the take?

Based on the enormity of their NBA careers, it seems they're already untouchable.

Ohh were you expecting Durant, Horford and Whiteside in for a FA mini-camp?

Well... Kinda... yeah!

 

[riverman]

Well the superstars we'll sign still have games to play so we need some cheap roster players..the Cavs are going to be the first team to get to the finals and blow it up off season

These rumors are like when you were in high school and flirted with 2s just to get some action...

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The Blazers working out players do not a rumor make. There have been years when we worked out 30 players - is not 30 rumors? No, it's zero.

Right because once they have worked out. Its not a rumor. Its a fact. 30 players and 30 facts.

Former Sixers guard Pierre Jackson will work out this week at the Knicks‘ free agent mini-camp, and is lined up to work out for the Trail Blazers and Mavericks later this month, sources tell Ian Begley of ESPN.com.

He played at College of Southern Idaho. We played them last year. He got a lotta love up on their wall.

FIFY!!!

 

[Trackjack]

I see why they want take a look Henton looks like poor man Harden. There already looking third string back up point they bring in Buyck and Jackson both scoring type of point guards. There looking for summer league players and see if one of them can make the roster next year.

 

[riverman]

I think any player that Olshey is bringing in is something worth talkin' about...doesn't matter how we define it, it's actually the scouts doing what they're paid to do....first result for Blazers rumors this morning because I'm sick of talkin' about the Warriors around here

 

[riverman]

Tells me Brian Roberts might not be re-signed or they're lookin' at the possibility of needing a backup plan at SF as well..that's my take on it all.

Still though... It begins!!!

And this was the entire point of this thread! Something is happening for real in the off season...for me, that rocks!
