Free Agent Harry Giles to Portland

[Freshtown]

The bargain bin special. I like it.

 

[RR7]

 

[blazedanugz]

Damn I actually love this

 

[GDiama]

Very good

 

[Blazinaway]

YES, I've been suggesting this ad nauseum!!! Great risk/reward here!!

 

[Hoopguru]

Means Gab's gone

 

[Hoopguru]

Taking Sac Towns great bigs......

 

[chris_in_pdx]

More proof Olshay is going all-in on capitalizing on Dame's prime. Can't say I blame him.

 

[TBpup]

 

[Blazinaway]

wonder how much he cost?

 

[TBpup]

Very much a low risk, high reward, bargin bid type of move. It's a no-lose situation and Giles does have talent....just injury concerns.

 

[illmatic99]

Whoa.First thing I think is that Collins might not be ready for a while.

 

[Blazinaway]

Whoa.First thing I think is that Collins might not be ready for a while.

cheap low/risk high reward insurance is a good move

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We signed the dude from One Direction?!?

 

[blazedanugz]

Whoa.First thing I think is that Collins might not be ready for a while.

Or......
We’re trading him

 

[illmatic99]

Or......
We’re trading him

Don't think he has all that much trade value.

 

[Blazinaway]

IMO I'll go out on a limb here and say this has a good chance (his health my only concern) to be our best move of the off season on a dollar for dollar, pound for pound basis

Damn, you stole my joke son.

 

[calvin natt]

Shit. Don’t like it because Giles can’t make threes.

 

[Blazinaway]

we actually drafted him in 2017 - welcome home HARRY!

 

[illmatic99]

Shit. Don’t like it because Giles can’t make threes.

I know what you're trying to do, but it doesn't make much sense. Jones plays a position where it's really hard to play guys who can't shoot. A big that can't shoot isn't as much of a problem to hide as it is a 6'6 guy who will be the release valve/corner guy in Terry's offense.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Love this. Echo others that applaud this low risk/high reward move.

Would have liked to keep Wenyan but we need a backup PG.

[THE HCP]

Nurk, Kanter, Collins, Biggie, Melo, Giles,
Who am I missing of our C/PFs?

Biggie's gone, as is probably Wenyen. I really was hoping we could keep Gabriel because I like his game and he's easy to root for, but Giles is simply a better player and prospect.

Damn, you stole my joke son.

Watermelon Sugar.

Honestly because we got Giles?

Yes true but I am worried about fit. I don’t know if he’ll fit. And will be get better? He’s already 22.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Whoa.First thing I think is that Collins might not be ready for a while.

Yup by reading the recent athletic article that’s definitely true
