Still may...nothing would surprise me, I'm just think Wolves won't send him to their division unless its Dame or CJ, Collins and picks. Not sure id do it.

I get it, and Butler seems like he has some baggage but the guys real good.

Now that we are all done with the Butler coming here, what free agent (lol) next year should we pursue?
Maybe Durant?

Free agent? We don’t project to have any cap space. All we’ll have are exceptions. Trade is still our best route. Ideally Simons or Trent show out, which would open up moving CJ.

One guy I would love with our exception next summer though is Wes. He’s going to be 32, so maybe he doesn’t get any bigger offers. Unlikely, but maybe. I’m not expecting Curry back and maybe we’ll be able to dump Evan since he’ll be an expiring.

I'd rather play Trent next year than bring back Wes. With Wes aging and Trent coming into his own, Trent might be the better option.

I think Wes would be more concerned about who’s on the court, not up in the box. I think he’s also smart enough to understand why Portland didn’t bring him back.

I think Wes understood why they dodnt bring him back but he was pretty open about how he fet completely disrespected by NO on the way out.
 
56 pages on a guy that was never gonna end up here? damn I forgot how badly Portland fans want something to happen to this team. Trust me, I do too. We gave Melo so much attention last season and he isn't even that good. Might be a bumpy ride this season but I am for it.

This fanbase's obsession with players is NOTHING.....nothing......compared to my fellow 49er fans. Holy shit, that fanbase's obsession with shitty players and coaches that choke games away is.....well, let's be nice and say it's incredibly annoying.

the 9ers have a fanbase?
I thought they all switched to GSW fans when they lost the superbowl to the Ravens.

I am a lot more likely to cuss at a Chief dribbling situation, because, frankly, he should know better.
Click to expand...

To be fair, I noticed early last season that Chief was playing much more under control. His shot selection was better and he really cut down on the adventurous dribbling episodes.

I just double checked and sure enough, his TOVs per 100 possessions were at a career low of 1.9, down from 2.6 the previous season. He also shot a career best from 3-point range on a career high umber of 3FG attempts per 100 possessions.

He rather quietly had his best all around season as a Blazer, perhaps the best of his career (he also set new career highs in Win Shares and VORP).

People hate on Aminu because his low's are so low.
People love Aminu because when he plays well on both ends, Portland really is different team.

I just wish he was more consistent. He could go 8-8 from deep just as easy as he could go 0-8.
His defense tho. generally is on point.

Must kind of suck to be a 49er fan right now...

Nah it's all good, we weren't going to win the Super Bowl this year so the injury to Jimmy G should mean a much higher draft pick to add yet another big piece. The rest of the team should still get plenty of development.

Well the 49ers have 5 championships since the last Blazers one and were just in the SB a few years ago so I find it weird that a Blazers fan would make a comment like that, but you don't really have an emotional investment either or at least that is what you say.

I know this isnt popular opinion but Im not sure Jimmy G is all that anyways.
 
Has Aminu ever received an all nba defensive team vote?
Serious question but I want to say no.. maybe one or two but that should tell you what people think of him.
His defense is good but people like that Murray kid got first team defense last year so it’s not like it’s a popularity contest

He's underrated.

I didn't know that me posting that I had taken a step back from sports would resonate so much with some of you guys. It really means a lot to know that you guys care so much about how emotionally invested I am in sports.

I just find it strange that someone who commented about not being emotionally invested would make a comment about an emotion for a different fan base.
 
What is Butler telling the front office that he wants to be dealt to Miami actually do? Has it ever been the case that the team traded their disgruntled player they have been in conflict with to the team of his preference rather than the one that came up with the best offer?

I said his defense is underrated. He's also not a good NBA player. He's an average rotation piece. I guess he might be close, but your seriously the type of person to search for and bring up a post from a year ago? Do you not have better things to do with your time?

Nothing I've said is contradictory. However, I have tried to view Aminu in a more positive life because people have cried about me being to hard on him. So now that I do that, I get people like you bringing up year-old posts that don't even contradict?

Jeeeeez.
