Free agent you LEAST want

[Rastapopoulos]

I can think of a few names that have been floated that I would NOT be happy if the Blazers signed them. Hedo, for example, but I'm growing less enamored of Andre Miller by the day.

 

[PapaG]

Is Lamar Oden Greg's brother? That's who I picked.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I picked Oden's brother also.

 

[Rodolfo]

 

[MrJayremmie]

Lamar Oden and Ariza were the most i didn't want. But there are a bunch I dont prefer on that list. Would only be pissed with those 2, and maybe Bibby.

 

[cdub503]

I picked hedo. Although I probably wouldn't be pissed if we got him. I just don't think he's that great is all. If I could pick more than one I'd pick ariza and odom

 

[Mediocre Man]

So you picked Hedo because you could choose 1, but you would have picked both Ariza and Odom if you could have picked more than 1?

 

[LittleAlex]

Mike Bibby would be an ass tastic way to spend the cap space. Portland already has a slow, no defense 3 point shooter. Why get another?

 

[crandc]

Sorry, can't choose just one.

I don't want Ariza because he's not an enforcer, he's a thug. What would it say to Rudy, for example?

I don't want Odom because he's a punk and having Oden and Odom on the team would be too confusing.

I don't want Bibby because I think he's pretty much used up and was never more than good to begin with - better to stick with Blake.

I don't want Kidd because I don't like wife beaters. And has been said before, if any of the other 29 teams sign him the headlines would be "Team X Gets Future Hall of Famer" but if Portland signs him we'll see "Jail Blazes Sign Wife Beater".

 

[Wheels]

I chose Bibby. Dont want him here at all.

 

[cdub503]

Yes. As well as hedo

 

[Foulzilla]

I picked Bibby, though really it's all relative. I think Bibby would be a fine addition at the veteran's minimum for example. And as much as I love Kidd, he'd be a terrible addition with a max contract. So it all really comes down to how much it costs to get them. Assuming all get payed a "fair" value (based on my opinion of course), I least like Bibby.

 

[andalusian]

Bibby would be a waste. He is a Blake level player at this point in his career, so getting him would be a waste.

I am not a fan of Turk at more than 3 years guaranteed and the price he seems to ask for and I am not a fan of Miller at $10m per.

 

[RickyRubio]

Odom. I am a true Blazer and do NOT want to see a Laker on this team.

 

[B-Roy]

How could you not want Greg's long lost brother Lamar Oden?

 

[RickyRubio]

LoL it was a hard decision.

 

[Minstrel]

Mike Bibby is my least fave. I think he'll contribute the least.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Any of those would improve the team.

 

[panthersare#1]

Allen Iverson isnt on the poll but is a UFA, I would least like to have him on the team. Even though he is a great scorer, he never seems to work out well with a team and is getting up there in age with his health decreasing.

Larry Brown has showed slight interest in bring Iverson in for the Bobcats though.

 

[ABM]

Odom

 

[Nikolokolus]

Mike Bibby is my least fave. I think he'll contribute the least.

Couldn't agree more, he's basically Steve Blake at this point in his career.

 

[illmatic99]

Every player on that list is an upgrade over what we have. EVERY one.

That said, I pick Ariza. Let's stay away from the dirty mofo, please.

 

[Natebishop3]

Artest. He's craaaaaaazy.

 

[MARIS61]

All of the above, since all of them are downgrades in some way or another.

Really good players with no "issues" never become free agents.

Free agents = players not worth re-signing.

All second contracts end eventually ... every player that plays for at least 7 or 8 years is going to be a free agent sooner or later.

Mike Bibby would be a negative to this team, taking away time from JB and not an upgrade over Blake.

 

[Minstrel]

I agree. The best case scenario, IMO, is that he basically duplicates Blake but for significantly more money.

The worst case is he drops off due to age and is paid well for sub-Blake production and defense.
