Game Thread GAME# 50: BLAZERS @ SUNS - JANUARY 24, 2019 - THURSDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

We are not trading Evan Turner prior to next season. We're not cutting him either (as if that would ever be on the table).

That's exactly my point. Turner is untradeable. That is why he's the obvious answer here.

Thank you.
It seems the whole point was getting lost. There is no way to trade him because no team is gonna take him unless we give up a bunch to get rid of him. This is why he is a landslide victor in this poll.

nope...healthy Mo is a better shooter but other than than it's not that big of a difference ..Turner can guard the same guys Mo guards and rebounds as well...ET is just the new Meyers around here since Meyers has improved....folks don't like ET much but he's a skilled player..not a stat guy but neither is Mo

Contracts included, I'd rather pay a guy $11M to be inconsistently good for 50% of the time than $18M for a guy to be inconsistently average for 100% of the time.

Back to the game at hand.

Blazers can get another win on the road and that is always a good thing.

Go Blazers!
Kjironman is a fan!!!

You are being generous.

 

[kjironman1]

Doesn't matter. He's still playing with backups.

And Against Backups.....

 

[riverman]

Should win this one...get that 30th win...go Blazers!

half of 18 million is 9 million in that case

And I'd say Harkless is 1.5 times as productive for us as Turner.

The Nik Sauce guy is out tonight FAMS!

Why does Phoenix always get to play teams missing players?

 

[kjironman1]

splinters?

Damn that was pretty tough.

[riverman]

If Nurk wasn't a basketball player, I think he'd be......a lumberjack.

With the way he runs? Eh......

 

[LayneStaley]

This should be a blowout

 

[Titan]

Umm, what was that week pass

 

[BonesJones]

Dame turning it over so much lately.

 

[BonesJones]

Sloppy already.

 

[TBpup]

We talked about this last game....how Dame has been a little loose with the ball as of late. 1st possession, a bad pass. Hope they are not lacking for focus tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

I hate playing in PHX. These viewing angles are so steep cuz of the arena design. Looks like a college game

 

[Chris Craig]

Suns arguing the foul on Nurkic. Must have been a travel too. Smh

 

[Titan]

I am pretty sure the collective S2 is a better coach then whoever that guy the Suns have

Maybe it's his hand contusion?

 

[riverman]

Good to see Chief hit a 3 early

 

[TBpup]

Maybe it's his hand contusion?

Perhaps....but it's been going on for 10-12 games now.

 

[riverman]

Looks like CJ is back
