Joel picked Portland

[Mediocre Man]

For all you fans that prefer warm and fuzzy rather than break it down and redo the roster

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well ... maybe we'll actually see a real pick this year after all?

 

[craigehlo]

Yay?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Later Armon?

Later Chris?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yay?

Yay ...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Inconsequential. It's an inconsequential pick up for an inconsequential team during an inconsequential season. However, the "good news" for the MM crowd is that it likely puts even more pressure on Nate to perform with this squad, and that the results of the second half will more directly influence his job retention next year.

That particular MM crowd is growing rapidly.

Nice pickup! I think Armon will be cut. Regardless of what has happen, Greg has value in this league. We can sign and trade him possibly this summer. Joel will bring some much needed rebounding help and toughness. I am a fan that does not want to tear this down and start over. Plus he can hit that 3 consistently, which will open up the middle for LA right?

agree, total "meh" signing

Then stop eating so much.

Way too much Kool-aid.....mixed with vodka

I'm on a diet. I'm too pretty to be this heavy

I think HCP made a funny...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

You and Adele, man... You and Adele.

 

[Blazinaway]

only way I can try to spin this positively is if it means we will actively try to deal Camby and perhaps other pieces for a good piece, so Joel is insurance, I hold out little hope for that however

Now that is funny!

Good news, despite rumors to the contrary by some around here. Having another 7-footer to put in the roster when Camby goes out should provide much needed help with rebounding, shot-blocking, and setting picks.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

We have plenty of players that are contributing nothing, so Joel will atleast contribute something. I like it even if he just sits on the bench.

You guys realize this isn't pre-knee injury Joel, right?

I hate to be positive, because the team gives me little hope for the rest of the year. But I have a glimmer of hope that Joel will just be a presence in the locker room. There are enough guys still with this team that played in Portland with Joel and know Joel's place with the team. He was a great teammate, always has his mates' back, won't take shit from the other team, and certainly won't allow divisive attitudes in the locker room. To me, this team really needs a presence like that. I really don't think we have it. So Joel, I welcome you back! Fuck the haters (and the message board rejects at S2).

And yet.... somehow.... some way.... his presence on the roster still excites me more than having Armon or Chris Johnson on the roster.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I wonder if he'll be upset when we trade him again like we have the last two times he's signed with us?

 

[THE HCP]

I would love to do Adele from behind! Just mad,angry,"donkey-punch" type sex!

well then fuk you too since that is the term you use for those who don't think it's a good signing

Ya, but the wind excites YOU!

I think you're confusing Joel with Blake???

 

[Mediocre Man]

I love your cute little nicknames for Mrs HCP

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I just don't get how people dislike it? Don't get me wrong.... it's a "meh" signing... But I'd much rather Joel on the roster than Armon or Chris. So I'm not going to sit here and bitch and moan. His presence on the roster will be much more beneficial than the presence of Armon or Chris.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Ya, but the wind excites YOU!

Only when it comes from Mrs. HCP!!

maybe we find a swap with Kurt thomas, and Joel takes his few minutes a night. Probably not, probably just an insurance type signing. who knows. Can see Kurt thomas having value to many teams in the playoffs.
