He sucks, and he is a jinx

I'm hoping that Outlaw, Frye, and Rodriquez will be gone next year.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I had hope for Frye. I was hoping he'd be that guy we could bring off the bench and nail mid-range jumpers like McDyess did for Detroit.

He loves Portland, it's just a shame he's a horrific basketball player.

 

[bigbailes]

Me too. But I hope to get some value back for Outlaw. Frye and Sergio we can just get rid of. Outlaw I think has some value around the league.

outlaw, blake, frye, ruffin see you later. it's been nice but your services are no longer needed (as long as we get a decent PG at some point)

 

[TP3]

Frye played when we were in foul trouble. Each game we were in foul trouble...we lost.

 

[ODENISGOD]

frye should be in the wnba. but even then he would stand out there firing long jumpers

 

[speeds]

I thought you guys liked Sergio? What's this all about? Send him to Toronto to be Calderon's apprentice.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Sergio has sub par defense and we don't run a lot and don't have a lot of cutters or movement in the offense so Sergio's greatest assets are not put to use here sadly.

Do ya'll have cap space? If you guys can take more cap space on we will trade you Sergio for nothing but cap space! Sergio is alright and may do well in Toronto's system... but if you give him 15mpg as a backup every game he wont' get you more than 6 and 5 max, which isn't bad, but we have Bayless and Blake... Sergio just doesn't really work for this team.

Frye, Ruffin, Randolph, Sergio I think are def. gone (Sergio may demand a trade anyway like last year lol)... I think Outlaw and Webster are on the fence, I would trade both for an upgrade... Outlaw/Webster/1st for Battier/Landry would be tight.

Blake | Bayless
Roy | Rudy
Battier | Batum
Aldridge | Landry
Oden | Przybilla

what do ya'll think? I'd do that or I'd love to do a trade with Golden State for Turiaf/Ellis. I'd also want to sign Sessions for 9mil/yr.

For who? Outside of Bosh I'm not seeing too many players that the Blazers would covet. But hell, if you're willing to take him off our hands for nothing I'd probably bite.

Frye did not step up his game at all in a contract year, and it was disappointing especially after all the hard work he put in to get in shape in for training camp. Then he had that injury and it was downhill from there.
He'd probably have a better career in broadcasting, so maybe the Blazers can hire him for that and he could still live in Portland.

 

[LittleAlex]

Who is Channing Frye?

In 4 games Channing Fucking Frye played in = 4 loses for us. Two games where he did not logged a single second, we won both games. No, I'm not blaming our loses on his pathetic play. But just about every time he's been on the court this season, he's been a detriment to our team.

Good riddance.

In other news water is wet, the sky is blue and humans require air to survive.

 

[hasoos]

There is a reason that we called Frye "Charmin" this year. As in, "Don't squeeze the Charmin", because he is as soft as toilet paper. He is a cool dude. Just not a very good basketball player for this team.

 

[Mr. J]

I wonder how he got so bad. Every year coaches and trainers rave about his work ethic and he seems to just get worse. He was great during his rookie year, but maybe that knee injury he got is the cause for it?

 

[hasoos]

When questioned about what the team needs on hoops hype, Roy kind of skirted it for a bit, and then mentioned "We need a Banger to back up Aldridge." I think that pretty much sealed the deal. I wouldn't worry about this one.

 

[Minstrel]

Probably. From what I saw of Channing in college and in his rookie year, he had more of an ability to attack the hoop. His knee injury has probably sapped his athleticism, making him less able to get to the hoop and to get rebounds. He's become purely a jump-shooter, and he doesn't have the shooting touch to be good just from that.

There are physical aspects, but I would imagine it's a mind set as much as anything.

Even in college, he had the "soft" label applied. I didn't watch him play a ton, but from what I remember reading he floated a lot, which given his size and ability is inexcusable in college.

I would have rather had Diogu in this series as the emergency big off the bench. At least he would have pushed some people around...

I like Sergio. I'm not quite sure why so many people are down on him, but I think he's still got a lot of potential as a starting PG in the NBA and am in no rush to move him at all.

I like Sergio too. He is a fantastic translator and he has made Rudy's transition so much better - but we no longer need these services. We need a reliable backup point guard that can score consistently, protect the ball and play defense - Sergio does none of these things.

I like him as a change of pace guy off the bench, but I just don't ever see him as a starter with his defense, balky jumper and inability to finish at the cup.

Mindset doesn't explain the drop from well-regarded college prospect and very good NBA rookie to borderline NBA player.

Unless you mean his mindset changed after his rookie season, but why would it?

When I think of mindset, I think confidence, and that clearly left him this year. He looked tentative, and yet got that look every time he got the ball. You know, the look that guy you play with at open gym gets that shoots it whenever he's open but never hits the shot? I played with a guy like that last night. For one reason or another, they just don't have confidence in their shot.

 

[RudyFor3]

Frye has talent. There is a reason he was picked ahead of Bynum. Supposely he has the best jumpshot in the Blazers practice but unfortunately I have yet to see it in the game.

I have loathed watching Frye all year. Nice guy, terribly soft. I think we can all agree on that.

That said, if you put him on a team that already has a few bangers . . . he COULD be effective coming off the bench knocking down 18-20 ft jumpers. Think Robert Horry. He had the luxury of playing with Hakeem, Shaq, and Tim Duncan (not to mention guys like Otis Thorpe, Elden Campbell, Nesterovic, Malik Rose, etc.) It was okay for him, at 6'10", to sit out on the perimeter and fire up jumpers (and do little else) Sure, RH had the the rep of a cagey, wily veteran with a high BB IQ and as a decent defender. But that was overrated if you ask me - I can remember Rasheed abusing him over and over. I'm not sure Channing couldn't be "Chip Shot Channing" to their "Big Shot Bob".

It's just not going to be here. Good luck Channing - go knock yourself out for a team that doesn't need you to play physical. He'll probably be next years Von Wafer - killing us with jumpers in the post season while playing for a team like San Antonio.

 

[Minstrel]

Really, I can't think of one attribute that Frye is above average at. He's pathetic as a defender. Can't stay with his man, can't play post defense, can't block shot, doesn't hustle. He doesn't rebound. Pathetic in the post, and has no attacking game whatsoever. Normally, a player has a niche to stick in the NBA. He might be a good defender, spot up shooter, setup man, or just an overall tough guy act as an enforcer. Frye has nothing. Zero. Nil. His only claim is he is maybe an average 15-20 ft shooter. But really, is that even a good thing? A 20ft shot is the most inefficient shot in basketball, and that's what Frye is best at? Fucking pathetic.

Other than that, though, do you like Frye as a player?

I basically agree, though, that Frye does nothing well. Except blog.

 

[Kaydow]

Comparing Frye to Horry is really an insult to Horry. Horry was one of the best role playing player during his time. He could guard both PF and SF and did a good job. He had good handle for his size. A very underrated passer. He was a good 3-pointer shooter. He was just a well-rounded ball player with high basketball IQ.

I thought Horry was horribly overrated - especially his defense. He did NOT effectively guard the PF and SF positions. He was passable at best, and above average for a bench player. He could never hold a Karl Malone, or even a Rasheed Wallace at the #4. And he certainly couldn't guard athletic 3's on the perimeter. You said it yourself a "role playing player". He was fortunate enough to play next to several HOF'ers. And yes, he did hit some big shots. 7 ppg, 4.8 rbs, 2.1, 42.5% FG and 34% from downtown. That makes him "a good 3 point shooter"?

 

[Nate Dogg]

I'm hoping that Outlaw, Frye, and Rodriquez will be gone next year.

Yep I totally agree. My additional 2 cents right there too. We need that other young Ricky Rubio PG from Spain. Heh.
Frye's dirty blonde girlfriend is hot but slightly chunky. Shes got no curves but she would pair up nicely with Rudy. LOL I would like to have her walk around the Rose Garden for a while with a new spanish man.

Bump-worthy!

Frye sucked. 27% 3pt, 36% FG. Had he played for Portland, he would be a goat.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Frye had one really nice game (5) but other than that I thought he was ghost for the Suns.
