Joel picked Portland

[SlyPokerDog]

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

Oops, I think you're right.








White people.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Oops, I think you're right.



White people.

Yeah, they all look the same.

 

[THE HCP]

Only when it comes from Mrs. HCP!!

DAMNIT! Well played mi amigo!

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I am guessing Luke Babbitt has no reaction to this.

 

[Wheels]

probably not a ton in the tank left. But sentimentally this is AWESOME! I normally shy away from favorite players, because above all else I love the team. But guys like Przybilla are favorites for me!

 

[illmatic99]

We gonna waive Greg? holy shit.

 

[Mediocre Man]

What? That makes no sense. So probably

 

[Nikolokolus]

We gonna waive Greg? holy shit.

Is this a report?

 

[Wheels]

What? That makes no sense. So probably

"must spread rep around"

 

[illmatic99]

I was just speculating. Would make a ton of sense actually. He's not playing for at least a year from now, and we don't really lose anything by waiving him (in case we want to sign him later).

 

[THE HCP]

Somebody would do a sign and trade with us for Greg I'm sure.

 

[Eastoff]

I just came across this:
(joel has) career averages of 4.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. Wow Marcus Camby is awesome!

Seriously?

You have to realize that when we were a contending team, that his value is measured by a lot more then his #'s. Guy was an enforcer..... great weak side defense. Probably the MVP of the team behind Brandon one year. I know that is a stretch, but he was huge for us. No need to hate on a player who leaves it out on the court night in and night out.

 

[THE HCP]

Seriously?

You don't believe a team would take a chance on Greg?

 

[RR7]

why would a team have to S&T with us for Greg? He's likely out all of next season. So even if a team did want to signn him this offseason, to lock him in for a ocuple of years cheap, there isn't going to be competition to pay for his rehab, and he'd likely be getting well south of the MLE. So basically EVERY team can make him an offer that should be enough to get him without us having to S&T him.

Good point

 

[Mediocre Man]

Seriously?

Probably. You get his Bird rights, so why not? It's also a good reason why not to waive him

MM, thank you for proving my point. I'm sure it pained you FAMS!

 

[Nikolokolus]

No team is going to sign and trade for Greg. There's absolutely zero incentive to do so.

 

[RR7]

Probably. You get his Bird rights, so why not? It's also a good reason why not to waive him

what good are his bird rights, though, honestly? The ability to offer him 5 years instead of 4, or go over the cap? That has no value anymore.

 

[Nikolokolus]

What good are his bird rights though? That only comes into play if he was choosing a 4 or 5 year deal and big money.

I feel like I should almost call "jinx"

 

[MickZagger]

You fools are tripping, mang! The Vanilla Gorilla is just tha thrilla we needed to get over that Championship hump.

 

[RR7]

jinx would be better than "pinch. poke, you owe me a coke" always want to punch people with that one.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Armon Johnson is who we will waive.

 

[RR7]

Armon Johnson is who we will waive.

I think so as well, i fntohing else, just to save Greg the embarrassment, as sort of a good will gesture. Not for any future sense, a discount, whatever. Just to say hey, people are ragging on you in the media again, or, just bringing up the bust stuff, etc., and we'll let you finish the season with the team, instead of following up surgery with headlines of Oden waived by Blazers.

 

[BlazerBeav]

A belated happy birthday for Armon.

 

[Minstrel]

A belated happy birthday for Armon.

Now pack your bags! We got you a bus ticket as a present. Everyone chipped in!

 

[blazedanugz]
