Free Agent Ky Bowman?

[Driew]

He looks like a lot of fun; why is GS releasing him?

To save some money I think.

Looking at their tax bill, that doesn't seem to be a big concern.

Completely agree, this reminds me of a Jarrett Jack type player. Also I could see this guy becoming a fan favorite.

But can he dribble the ball off his foot out of play?

Good times. Brings me back to the multiple dribble --> foot just under the 3 point line jumpshots from Travis Outlaw.

Yeah Jack was one of my least favorite Blazers.

Does he actually play PG on offense? Because if he's halfway decent at setting up an offense and he's a plus defender, AND he's cheap... that seems like a pretty good fit as PG depth.

I don’t think so. I’ve been watching some of his games and although he can score on offense, doesn’t seem to be a good facilitator. He kept missing cutters that most PG’s would hit. But he did seem to be trying and not just chucking. Seems like he doesn’t see all the options but when he makes a decision he’s actually pretty damn good.

playing him second unit and letting kantor and RoCo take on more facilitating duties could work. And pairing him with CJ or Lillard for spells might be perfect since they can be ball dominant and Ky can can really be a pest.

Question about bowman, doesn’t he have to pass through waivers? Why wouldn’t someone claim him?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

If the rumor is true and Olshey is actually targeting Bowman, that means he’s got other plans for the BAE, my guess being Melo.

It's not true. The twitter post in the OP was just some dude referencing a Blazers tweet. I don't think the Blazers twitter admin has a pulse on who we're going after, and if he did and he tweeted it, he'd be fired in the next week.

Interesting, how rumors get started.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Add Bowman and this team is ready to roll.

 

[Cugel]

Any updates?

[Scalma]

Give him the two way already

So the dude steps on the baseline and or finds other stupid ways to turn the ball over every other possession? It would always amaze me how Jarrett Jack would turn the ball over that way almost every game.

Same reason Olshey won't sign him.

Pity. I was hoping we'd get him.
