just some unsolicited advice, please try to do whatever it takes to get that. Gaping hole in the media that covers this team. And given your audience and the engagement you guys get here and on other platforms, there is a pressing need for coverage that goes beyond the superficial.
So he's not mad we kept the pick, he'll be mad that the team will suck in your opinion?
Dealing with the press isn't for everyone. And sometimes their questions don't require a huge answer. From what i gathered, that last question was kind of like a backhanded one. It seemed he was asked what it was going to be like to be used more like he was in his early days. I don't think he appreciated it. He's a different player now, maturity wise. Just not a necessary question. I missed some of the presser, but how 'bout, "what do you think your game brings to the Blazers". Not a "Hey, your not in Detroit, get ready to be an also ran on offense" . Did i hear that last question wrong. Because it seemed like it frustrated Jerami a little bit, and he responded with a short and sweet answer.
Yeah, what's he supposed to say. "I'm mad I'm not the #1 option anymore!" No one would say that.
i know people hated on quick and he was completely clueless on a lot of CBA aspects, but he at least asked useful questions. He's missed this summer.
I believe they eased it a little bit with the new president and GM.
I'd say like 99% of the time breaking news from ALL teams comes from someone other than local journalists. Not really crazy at all.
You just described the opposite of Mike Richman, ha ha. He often whines about "lesser" media and how he hates people who pretend to be reporters/journalists.
really? nvm then.
he was on catwalks at fashion shows in Paris a few weeks ago, so maybe he's onto something. i think playing with Westbrook for a few years really influenced his style (or f-ed it up....)
i just think they don't care enough to go beyond the basic. this is a JOB to most of them.
Yeah, after one of my articles on Blazers Uprise he went on a rant about how if you're not physically at a press conference, you shouldn't be allowed to use anything that's said in an article. Real elitist crap. It's like, the Blazers post the pressers publicly. Their answers aren't your rights.
It's the same in Football. But when a local guy like Adam Schefter was in Denver, and gets close to people, in & around, the organization, he does get stuff that a local reporter doesn't normally. Then he gets offered Nat'l gigs. In the NBA, It's a few well connected guys, like Woj, Windy, Spears, Shams, & Haynes.
THIS is why you "anti-Joes" have zero credibility.
I would like to think if I was in a position like that, I would help people like me improve their writing or encourage them, instead of saying they shouldn't be allowed to do it.
that's disappointing to hear.
