Joel Freeland has engaged in talks with teams to pursue an NBA comeback.

Can we do a sign and trade for whatever team Freeland played on for Meyers?

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Good luck to Joel. I hope he makes it back to the NBA.

[Mediocre Man]

He'll make some contender a very nice back up big

"Two years in Euroleague" my ass. Two years on the injury list more like. I liked the one productive year we got out of Freeland, but that was the last productive year ANYONE got out of him. Shooting for the NBA shows some cheek. Maybe it's because nobody in Europe will give him anything because he never plays.

I loved Freeland on our team. I agree with MM. Any way we can get him with the BAE? He plays defense without fouling, rebounds, and hits the midrange shot.

He should go to a contender. Would do well in Cleveland

I never understood why fans thought Freeland was a good midrange shooter. He's trash outside of 3 feet.

I like big men who shoot close to the basket.

MFs in here overrating Joel Freeland.

LOL.

He won't really be expected to play much in the NBA though, maybe that's his thinking.

Because he was. Had a nice baseline jumper. That was his only offense.

Anyone who thinks he'll play well.

I could see him being a solid back up if he has improved. His game wasn't that far off from being on par with some back ups in the league.

Meh.

Played solid d and a 12.2 PER. There are certainly worse

And never passed the eye test. I wish him the best but he never really did much here and was injured.

Just because he's better than Butters...

 

[PDXFonz]

You can't tell me he's not a backup if he can play like this consistently



He's obviously got it in him.

 

[BlayZa]

let. it. go.

Good guy, hope he makes it - even a $5 mil taxpayer contract would be great for him....

That being said, the thought of having Joel and Biebs in at the same time during crunch time (as shown in the video) gives me the heebee jeebees.

Dude was the king of going straight up on D. You remember incorrectly. Freeland was great.

 

[BonesJones]

Look at his shooting percentages and think again.

I like Joel too, but the blazers don't need a back up F/C at this time.

Vonleh - Aminu - Harkless - Swanigan
Nurkic - Leonard - Collins - Davis

I'd much rather let Zach and Caleb get any available backup minutes.

Man I need to work on my english, here I was thinking I knew what "great" meant

 

[dviss1]

I remember freeland very well KS. So what he went straight up on D a few times... He certainly wasn't "the king at it. Bottom line, he made very little impact while he was here. The whole board was clamoring for him to come over and he never really did anything memorable except get injured while blocking a shot.
