Good God, y'all! What is he good for?

Mid-range jumpers baby!!

You can always count on Luis to stick ya with a little mid range arsenal.

Saw Andre Miller actually got around $15 million over 3 years not the $9mil originally reported.

Yes, and yes. We have 11,240,312 right now, and 5,665,289 after Nic signs (assuming matching a 4/45M deal).

Really really wish that 5 mil was going Dre. We'd be set. Ahh well, time to get over it.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Not really a FA, but apparently Calderon wants to be traded. Would he be a good fit here? Probably retards Lillard's growth, but definitely fits the veteran PG need. He just has 1 year left, so it's a pretty minor investment.

Indy signed DJ Augustin and Gerald Green.

Edit: Nevermind, late to the party on this one.

I for one always appreciate the info, even if it's been given already.

 

[barfo]

No. If there are multiple teams with a full waiver claim, it goes in order of worst record.

Thanks Brian!

C.J. Watson one yr deal, geter done Neal

Yep, why not... even if he rides the pine behind Nolan, he'll be good to practice against.

Uh, if he did not play ahead of Nolan I would not bother signing him, he's way better than Nolan and put's Nolan in the 3rd spot where he belongs

Yeah I was a little tongue-in-cheek... It depends on how many wins CJ would bring us. The more the worse.

Agent David Falk said Blazers and GM Neil Olshey may have lost RFA Roy Hibbert, but they gained "human capital"


I think this is a good thing

 

[Mediocre Man]

Anyone ever heard of that saying? Human Capital?

Hibbert > "human capital"

"I'm a great believer in good will,'' Falk said. "I have a very long memory, and I will remember how Neil and the Blazers handled this.''

What exactly did we do that was so awe inspiring?

"Whether this comes back to them with Roy (Hibbert), or someone else, it will produce a positive result for them down the road,'' Falk said.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

David - I will remember too.

Now help bring the Blazers a star player.

 

[RR7]

Sounds good David, when Greg Monroe's a free agent, how about you come here for cheap please.

Got him a max deal when indy wasn't going to?

 

[superfly4201]

Lets just be happy someone said something positive about our management for once.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

See the Batum situation, and then imagine it 180 degrees differently.

Portland knew they were losing out on Hibbert, and they didn't force the issue. There was no smearing the player or the team. Olshey commended Walsh and the Pacers (no mention of KP)... yadda yadda yadda. Probably as much as what we did do as what we didn't do.

Didn't resort to Kahn tactics.

I don't have to imagine it, I am living through it

I've heard good/positive things said about our management recently.

Such as, "Good thing that Buchanan wasn't promoted from interim GM to full-time GM."

Larry Miller stepping down is a positive move for the franchise

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Maybe he's talking about when Neil withdrew the Hibbert offer so it wouldn't tie up Indy for the three days IIRC

Or when they said they'd match all of the principal items, and we said ok and didn't force the issue, allowing IND to do their thing on their own time.
