Michael Beasley

[illmatic99]

That would be so stupid. Ed is the anti-Beasley in that he makes the game easier for everyone else on his team and harder for the other team.

Ed would be totally unnecessary on this roster. Zach needs to play 25-30 mpg next year. And there will be a trickle down effect to raise Harkless' mins as well which will be good for the team.

We can better use our MLE on a wing shooter

Are you guys just being sarcastic? Beasley is the exact guy that Olshey has avoided bringing in to the culture. In what world is a character type of a guy like Beasley someone Olshey would go after?

I think Olshey thinks we've got a stable enough culture now. Both Nurk and Baldwin (for a couple of examples) had not-great reputations before coming to us.

Plus Beasley has pretty much reformed. Still can't play defense worth a damn though.

 

[tlongII]

Meh.

 

[Pinwheel1]

On not that many attempts. He's a little iso heavy for my liking -- dude likes to dribble dribble dribble shoot a lot. But we might need that off our bench.

So you are saying he can dribble AND shoot? Sign him!

It's a well known fact that Lamar Odom smoked before every game.

Who's the last person you heard of getting I'm trouble for it in the NBA? Damon?

Nerlens Noel and Thabo Sefalosha. In April:

[KingSpeed]

if we could get him for a few mil he'd be a good addition, and perhaps sign the guy whose been playin in Europe as well as he's another good shooter. I mean since we still have Stotts and his system we need SHOOTERS

What coach's system doesn't need shooters? How successful is he?

Why is it either or? Depth is a good thing.

Was about to write about my guy Thabo

 

[LayneStaley]

He's allready best friend with Nurkic

To be honest we could use a lot more attitude and toughness, maybe he wouldn’t be scared to actually lay a hard foul on KD.

Yep. And I think PA has had his fill of the drama that surrounds it all legal or not. I think he steers clever because of the potential side show circus it could become.

In a perfect world we keep Ed and find a way to add a veteran/actually good wing player. Allowing Collins to start at the 4.

I think Collins is ready to start full time. Yeah he will have some bad games but he is our future and he needs to get used to playing with our best players full time.

Laker fans are stalking Lebron's private plane landing in LA and we're here talking about MAYBE going after Mike Beasley.

ugh. Just once I'd like to know how that feels to have the best player in the league picking our team.

Like watching through a keyhole in the closet you’re locked in huh?

Unless the Blazers move to Cali, Florida, New York, or maybe Vegas it will never happen.

A reporter from ESPN and their local news helicopter were there to snap pictures. Our equivalent of this was Jason Quick waiting at PDX for Festus Ezeli coming to get his physical. smh. Just in a different world.

Beasley's just as good as LeBron. Just ask him:

[riverman]

We could use some swagger....as long as he's matured as they've said he has...he's a baller...Durant thinks he's one of the best...says Beasley can score on anybody from anywhere on the court. I'm actually liking the idea of adding him to the roster

Or when we bring back Bob.

What is Bob up to these days?

 

[riverman]

What is Bob up to these days?

He runs a business consulting firm in Seattle....after being fired twice in a row...Blazers, then Seahawks....Wikipedia doesn't paint a pretty picture of his sports career....wait! jlprk is an accountant in Bellingham....jlprk IS Bob Whitsitt!

That would be awesome, lol. I'm fine with Bob coming back. He made deals, he accrued TALENT character be damned and got us to two WCFs.

 

[santeesioux]

Any rumors about any team being interested in him since FA started?

 

[CupWizier]

But he did that with an open checkbook and no salary cap. Who knows what he could do under the current situation

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Beasley shot .395 from 3, so he'd be in line with what Neil has been doing.
