Looks like Blazers tried to sign Whiteside but went to Jazz for Vet Min...

 

[PDXFonz]

Was underwhelmed with what Whiteside did with his time here.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Why would he come back when Olshey made it known about his place in Portland last summer?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Dumpster Divin’ Olshey

 

[crandc]

Just as well.

 

[Strenuus]

Lol olshey is so bad.

 

[julius]

Lol olshey is so bad.

Im not sure this is the correct response to this. I think it's more like "thank god"

 

[illmatic99]

this has already been ad nauseum in the big free agent thread.

OMG -- How dare NeO want to add someone who can defend the rim NOW granted for every shot he blocks or alters he gambles and gives up 2 to 6 points BUT as sad as it is HE is still much better then Kanter. Also who is to say he would not have been better even just a little under a coach like Billups then Stotts ??

Some of you want to turn everything into a NeO bashing session and he has things to bash but guess what guys -- THIS is not one of them now get a grip.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Is Olshey really trying to make a joke out of this team?

does your keyboard have a ghost haunting the caps-lock key?

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

This makes me lose a lot of respect for Olshey. Whiteside is the worst.

 

[tykendo]

Hassan's motor was inconsistent. Good Dude, just doesn't bring it every game.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Wiz your best comeback is to take a shot at the fact I use caps to emphasize certain points is your point of view so weak this is the best you could come up with as a comeback to my point of view (that happens to be correct )

 

[Sheldon Shape]

For all his faults, Hassan had a career year with Portland. Would he have been better than Zeller? I'm pretty sure.

his stats would have been undoubtedly better.

Impact? questionable. I think Enes Kanter is 10x the player Whiteside is.

I made a joke and your comeback is to say your POV is "correct"....LOL, get over yourself.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I don't believe this. I don't think Dame or Olshey would want him back.

 

[Strenuus]

Im not sure this is the correct response to this. I think it's more like "thank god"

Im saying it for the fact he even went after him at all.

The most urgent time in 10 years and he goes for *checks notes* zeller and Whiteside.

So yes, it is the correct response.

 

[Phatguysrule]

this has already been ad nauseum in the big free agent thread.

I'd rather see news on the main page than sift through that big thread of ideas and dreaming trying to find actual news.

For sure. This was Blazer related. No sense in having it buried.

Cool

Checks the cap space...

Yeah there really wasn't anyone available and Whiteside wouldn't have made any difference.

 

[julius]

I don't believe this. I don't think Dame or Olshey would want him back.

Especially since he, Whiteside, claimed the blazers had his #. He's desperate, and making shit up

 

[Minstrel]

He's desperate, and making shit up

Desperate for what? He had already signed.

 

[julius]

Desperate for what? He had already signed.

To look like people wanted his services, so it looks like he made the decision to forgo the extra $ for a ring m

There is no news lately; just our opinions. Waiting for news........

 

[SlyPokerDog]

15.5/13.5/2.9 seems pretty good to me.

Even his Kings numbers playing half the time aren't bad.

 

[wizenheimer]

so I guess people believe Whiteside is a liar?
