Exclusive Hood re-signs in Portland

[PCmor7]

Hoard is a hybrid forward. He can play the 3 or 4 interchangeably like Mo and Chief, if he reaches his potential. I think right now he'd be more comfortable in the paint.

If our 10 man rotation going into next year was

Dame/Simons
CJ/Baze
Hood/Little
Love/Skal
Kanter/ZCO

I would feel pretty good.

 

[Jon]

I am legit super excited about this!

 

[B-Roy]

I've been thinking about this for awhile, but given our current roster construction, I think Mo is going to move up and play 4 full time next year, basically taking over Aminu's role. Baze will start at SF.

Our lineup will be more versatile defensively, and better shooting offensively, but we are going to get absolutely destroyed on the boards until Nurk gets back. And even then, we may still be below average.

Make it by the all star game and replace Kanter with Nurk and I think it’s actually probable.

I'd rather see Skal start at 4 with Moe as the backup

You know what? That is possible. Or Rodney starting at the 3 and Mo at the 4.

An ugly but realistic possibility.

Harkless got straight up abused when he played power forward. He's too weak and he's not as long as Chief. They're roughly the same height in shoes, but Harkless only has a 7' wingspan, while Chief had a 7'3 wingspan.

Is there a reason you keep calling him "Hoard"?

Mutant hybrid.

Um, because that's his name.

[Scalma]

Short of a trade we’ll probably sign a PF and a center for the minimum. Or maybe a point guard. That’ll fill out the roster. Then during the season they can use Meyers and Moes expirings to upgrade as needed.

He thinks you're talking about Rodney Hood.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Do you prefer "Whorred"?

 

[PCmor7]

He thinks you're talking about Rodney Hood.

LOL!

Thanks, Nate.

Cause we were talking about Jaylen Hoard, not Rodney Hood.

 

[JDC]

Cody Zeller is a guy I'd go after.

Leonard + Trent Jr.

The Zellers are trash. I'd rather have JaVale Mcgee so I can watch Shaqtin' a Fool full-time.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Leonard is better than Zeller, and THAT is saying something

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I love Nurkic but there’s no way in fucking hell im telling that guy a secret.

Doesn’t mean a player involved wouldn’t tell
Nurk....

 

[JDC]

Not even close...

Cody is worlds better as a defender

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Is “whorred” taking “whoring” to an all-time level?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Not even close...

Cody is worlds better as a defender

My labrador is worlds better as a defender

 

[oldmangrouch]

If the Plumlee brothers and the Zeller brothers could all join together into a maxi-mega-zoid....how much would the Knicks offer them?

If only we could get the Zellers, Plumlees, and Lopez Bros here.... fuck the Morris Bros, though...

 

[oldfisherman]

JaMychal Green would be a good fit.

 

[RonBrewer]

HELL YES....HELL TO THE YESSSSSSS......HELLZELL TO THE YESSSSEELLL

FUCK YES
