Ifeaanyi Festus Ezeli is in town and preparing to interview w Blazers

[JfizzleBlazer]

Sounds like a good line for a fluffer in gay porn.

Uhh..... and you know how?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Honestly, who cares what they pay him... He provides Blazers with the muscle/defense we were sorely lacking in the post... He is only 26, legit 7' with 7'6" wingspan, and champion experience... Some of you will never be happy... GREAT MOVE NEIL!!! Thank you!

Again, I don't think any of us care how much Mr. Allen pays him; what we are worried about is who we might have to give up in order to get that money according to the rules.

I just remembered my roommate from last year has ties to Ezeli. Said he was chill.

If we have to renounce Moe for him I will be on the fire Olshey bandwagon.

I wouldn't go that far but close.... Losing Mo is not something I want to do now that we are still developing (or should be with the strike-outs we did this summer). Who can even pay Ezeli more than 10 MIL a year at this point? Not many teams who need a Center.

I'm a damn people person

I'll be damned!

Festus seems to be more of a bandana type of dude than a tie guy.

For all of you guys so insistent on not letting Harkless go, where do you see him getting minutes if we keep Crabbe? Turner, Aminu, Crabbe and even Layman all play the same spot.

 

[e_blazer]

Sounds like. Sounds like. I'm old and I've heard things.

Lol ill pass you and give you a high five as im getting off that bandwagon

Harkless can play all 5 positions. He'll get minutes.

You mean, the guy who acquired Moe basically for nothing in the first place?

How much cap space does Houston have; I have not been able to find that info.

 

[riverman]

If Montero, Connaugton and Layman all can play the 3....we'll be fine without Mo...and I like Mo's game..he's going to get paid more than we want to shell out I think

 

[e_blazer]

I guess I wasn't aware that he's the second coming of Magic Johnson.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Don't pretend you don't.

9 MIL last I heard.

More athletic.

Not a good spot for creating cap space.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Youd like that wouldnt you rasta?

 

[0-Our!]

He shouldn't get $20M. $15M max... I'd rather trade Davis for a 1st Round Pick than dump Harkless. Harkless has more potential than Davis and we'd get a first round pick out of it.

I like Davis but I'm w/ u on this^.

Well now you do!

All we are doing is replacing Hendo with Turner, look at the playoffs and last 1/4 of the season and that's the rotation I can see Hark getting minutes in.

 

[Gronk Brady]

I'm ok with letting Crabbe and/or Harkless go to get Ezeli... I'm a big fan of Pat Connaughton and think he is ready to enter the rotation.

 

[santeesioux]

Well now you do!

A very conservative and religious bigot?

 

[SIeepwalker]

Please keep Harkless...

I don't see how this guy can get paid 20M

 

[Chris Craig]

Harkless doesn't sleep, he waits

So you're saying that he's going to start over Turner?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Starting is irrelevant, I'm talking about minutes. Our starting lineup will probably be all over the place next season for different matchups anyway.
