Freeland in action tonight in Houston

[Rastapopoulos]

GB "friendly" against Nigeria in Houston tonight. MM, you going? How many people would actually rather watch this than the NBA finals?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'd rather watch Freeland go oh-for-ever than watch LeBron win a ring.

I'd rather watch Freeland go oh-for-ever than watch LeBron win a ring.

I don't think LeBron's winning one tonight.

Don't you watch enough links as you pass by the fences with your mower?

Freeland's not mentioned in end of the game action. Was he in? Foul trouble, I hope?

Olshey's thinking, I missed the NBA championship game to fly here to see THIS
clown? Olshey already was unexcited about him. Someone tell Freeland that this is no friendly game.

Good article in the Telegraph.

Sounds like he's definitely interested in coming over:

"But I'm open to offers. as I said all along, my dream is to be there and I think at 25 years old it's probably the perfect age to go if I'm ever to make the jump. I love playing in Malaga, I love being there, had a great time playing there but, at the end of the day, the NBA is where I'd like to be."

One nice thing about bringing Freeland over is it alleviates the need to draft a big and frees the Blazers to truly draft BPA with both of their picks. Of course, you still take a big of he's BPA when you pick, but this would make it much easier to take a PG and a wing (SG or SF) if they're the best players still on the board.

If they also resign Hickson, this gives the Blazers a bag man rotation of Aldridge (6/11", 27 years old), Freeland (6'11", 25 years old) and Hickson (6'9", 24 years old). That gives them a good combination of length and athleticism. All are reasonably young, still improving and reasonably injury free.

[THE HCP]

Is Hickson only 6'9"?

 

[Blazinaway]

Is Hickson only 6'9"?

"in shoes" I think that is correct!
