Game Thread GAME# 42: MAGIC @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 13, 2017 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), KGW

[Nikolokolus]

Supposed to be a really deep draft....I sense a development season that's winning just enough to hide the tanking..hate to think it, but being the 8th seed in the west and losing a draft pick might not be that wise...why would Vonleh and Layman sit tonight in favor of Meyers and Pat C?

We already surrendered our draft pick to Denver last year. Making the playoffs this year has no impact.

[Chris Craig]

Trade?

 

[Cippy91]

Trade?

Not sure. Quick knows but can't report it?I mean what else would it be? he can't just leave like that unless it's family emergency or surgery, right?

 

[Chris Craig]

I was hoping to hear Meyers Leonard wouldn't be with us on the four game trip...dang!

 

[Chris Craig]

Not sure. Quick knows but can't report it?I mean what else would it be? he can't just leave like that unless it's family emergency or surgery, right?

Nah he's implying a trade

 

[Cippy91]

Freeman did say this as posted above before quick reported it wasn't surgery

 

[Scalma]

Nah he's implying a trade

Ezeli and a pick for Noel and I send Olshey a gift basket of dollar bills

 

[Cippy91]

Nah he's implying a trade

My question is what the fuck are we getting out of ezeli? he isn't valuable at all

 

[Scalma]

My question is what the fuck are we getting out of ezeli? he isn't valuable at all

His contract can be used for matching salaries. I'm guessing we'd be sending out a draft pick? That's if it's even a trade. Could just be that injured player exception.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Maybe waiving him?

 

[Scalma]

Maybe waiving him?

His contract has value, no point in doing that.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I know but I'm not allowed to say.

 

[Five Second Violation]

His contract has value, no point in doing that.

Probably not, guess I just find it hard to believe that they already have some fresh trade in the wings and already told him about it.

 

[Scalma]

Now quick is saying he'll rejoin the team after the trip? What the fuck? Was there an argument?

I read something earlier that said ezeli disliked how the media portrayed him in the chris haynes piece. He apparently really disliked that. I would think it has something to do with that

And yet we had people defending Plumlee in this thread. He lost this game by continually cheating off his man and not staying home.

I'd be surprised if it had anything to do with the media. Come on.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Not sure why some of you even bother with Quick. Kerry Eggers, that's who to pay attention to.

and me.

I know things but I'm not allowed to tell you.

 

[Scalma]

That's worse than not saying anything.

 

[Scalma]

Ok here are some guesses

1. He's being traded
2. He's retiring
3. He asked for a trade
4. Had some sort of argument
5. Season ending surgery (although that's evidently not the case)

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That's worse than not saying anything.

I know.

 

[Nikolokolus]

That's worse than not saying anything.

But you're dying to know now, so it worked.

6. He's the celebrity athlete for the Trump inauguration.

 

[Chris Craig]

He's being traded along with a pick for chandler
