Media Day 2017

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

He brought it up after he mentioned they might not be done making moves. I don't see the problem.

I don't see the problem, either.

As I clearly stated, I don't blame him for what he couldn't get done. But you didn't get a little chuckle from the mention, though?

 

[santeesioux]

But have you ever been to jail?

I mean not really, I did get a good laugh when he mentioned how they're expecting internal growth though. Like no shit. You don't have a choice lol.

See, that was less humorous to me. That's like a no-brainer. I expect that every year. And these guys playing together with continuity makes internal growth that much easier.

Wore my new Blazers hat for media day and to officially kick off the Blazers season.

 

[Boob-No-More]

One interesting thing Olshey did mention unsolicited was the TPE they've got to use in trades.

Let's hope the ACTPE doesn't go the way of the RLEC.

BNM

 

[lawai'a]

I'm not one to pick on our players or anything like that. But I liked how Meyers said he wasn't going to give in-depth answers this year to the media, then goes on talking about 10,000 repetition theory in a book and the navy seals lmao. Hopefully his confidence with the press translates to the court, but we're all looking with pessimism.

Where was the Collins interview?

I for one am not pessimistic but my skepticism meter is in the midrange. that said dames says he is playing mentally tougher so my optimism meter is in the middle ground too. I am rooting for him.

 

[BonesJones]

He did?

Damn @BonesJones relax dude that's not coo

Lmao.

 

[BonesJones]

We didn't get Paul George. We didn't get Melo.

But hey.... We did get TPE, FAMS.

(I don't blame NO in either of these cases, but to bring it up.... LOL.)

We got TPE and don't forget Ca$h Con$iderations. Big off-season for us.

 

[BonesJones]

I agree. Its going to be one if not the closet playoff races we've seen. A few things. You think Houston is better than OKC? Both have shitty benches, okc has more firepower. I just don't see Houston being better, but maybe I'm underestimating houston because I dislike them. I see we both have LAC at 7. I'm wondering about them. They will have to spend the first few months without Griffin and they dont have the same pieces as last year. They do have beverly and lou williams to sorda kinda replace paul and reddick...they also got Galinari though...idk...Denver, why is everyone so high on them. I was for a moment in time till I realized they din't have shit. They got Milsap this summer and they have Jokic...Galinari left...not much to see. You think phoenix is better than Dal, Sac, and LAL. It is fun to put the Lakers last. I think phoenix is destined to be last this year.

I think Westbrook is overrated. Him and Harden are equal in my eyes. Paul+Ariza+Capela are better than PG+Melo+Adams. Ariza would be as good, if not a better fit for OKC than Melo.

HOU also has more depth.

 

[BonesJones]

He was "joking".

MFs need to learn jokes fams.

 

[BonesJones]

He was "joking".

You're a joke fams.

 

[e_blazer]

You're old and white huh?

Get off my lawn, sonny, before I nail you with a paintball in your slow-moving ass.

Agree to disagree. Houston's bench is better. I'll give you that. Ill also agree that Westbrook and Harden are roughly equal. However, you think CP3, Ariza, and Capela are better than PG13, Melo and Adams? That sounds like a joke to me.

 

[Storyteller2]

NO brought up the TPE again in his interview. $12.9 million I believe? within the CBA and where our current salary is, what is the highest salary we could trade for? if NO included max cash and a future pick what would that bring it to?

The highest salary they could trade for is $13.0 million (the amount of the TPE plus $100,000). You can't add cash or player salary to a TPE to make it larger.

How do you know how fast his ass moves?

On this board we visit mrs. Hcp. Not THE HCP.

Nice!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Watching Blazers media day on CSN and I really wish the guys didn't have to wear their jerseys on the set. It's weird

 

[theprunetang]

I see a big potential problem here. What the fuck is that logo that Vonleh is signing? That better not be on our Ripcity jerseys. Please baby Jesus.

I've seen pictures. Simple laws of physics apply.

Theres no way Paul+ Ariza+ Capela are better then PG + Melo+ Adams

 

[e_blazer]

It's going to be weird in this country for awhile. Thanks, Trump.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Hahahahaha i've met that dude before. Back in my high school years.

 

[THE HCP]

Another quality reason to absolutely HATE the Clippers again this season!

 

[BonesJones]

Not more talented, but a better fit next to someone like Harden/Westbrook.

 

[BonesJones]

Agree to disagree. Houston's bench is better. I'll give you that. Ill also agree that Westbrook and Harden are roughly equal. However, you think CP3, Ariza, and Capela are better than PG13, Melo and Adams? That sounds like a joke to me.

Better fit next to Westbrook/Harden.

 

[theprunetang]

Better fit next to Westbrook/Harden.

Completely disagree.

 

[GrandJury]

What happened to zach collins today?

 

[SIeepwalker]

I'd buy it, if it were directed at anyone else. But you make a point to make stupid comments many of HCP's posts.

For folks like yourself constantly bitching about HCP ruining the board.... you're ruining the board for a bunch of people. I'm tired of putting up with the bitching from the likes of you and others. Been here way longer, but I don't expect to be here much longer. You folks have sucked as much joy as possible out of it.

I'd be sad to see you go, you're a positive addition.
