He said he wants to earn our fan support and work hard with this new opportunity. <--- If this is true than the sky is the limit.
 
Man I love Johnny Flynn. He is well spoken and explains things very well. I'm rooting for him!
 
Both very high picks for a reason. They have talent, but they need to be in the right situation, and work their asses off to achieve success. Hopefully they can do it here. If not, Oh well?

Seriously if they actually play to their potential, would the Camby deal be the most lop sided deal of the century?

I doubt they will because it's been a fair amount of time that they have been in the league, but it's a good trade either way

Well for Flynn, he did very well his rookie year, then got hit with that injury. And this season, Landry sucked up all available minutes at PG; so no wonder he didn't get more burn. There is still a chance for him. Also, Thabeet was buried on the bench as well. Scola is playing out of his mind. Same with Dalembert
 
I don't see where Flynn is going to get time at PG though... in a dream world, they'd bench Felton and play Nolan and Flynn to see what they got.. but realistically, they're not going to do that. I love what Nolan has brought the past two games, and hopefully Kaleb can work his magic with Flynn, get him some PT and put him in situations where he can succeed.

Thabeet.. bleh. If he could succeed though, that'd be awesome to add a young 7-footer into the mix.

The injury to E Will really helps Flynn. I think 10-15 minutes isn't asking for too much.

I think Thabeet has more of an opportunity to earn playing time with Pryzbilla and Thomas being soo old.
 
DANG Thabeet is insanely tall!

Thanks for the WARM Welcome Blazers Fans.. Now let's Gooooooo #Blazermania..
 
I like Flynn, always have. He just turned 23, and had a solid rookie year. I think people are overlooking him. Anyone who has had hip surgery (whether your 20 or 40 or 70) knows how painful it is. I had a minor hip injury a few years ago (and I'm only 29), and it was painful and took a long time to recover. You're always moving your hips, whether your sitting, standing, walking, running, jumping. Hell, even as you sleep, hip support is important. I wouldn't sleep on this guy - I still think he could be a quality NBA player.

He seems like the perfect Blazer ... we definitely need a guy with a hip replacement after the Greg Oden era. :wink:

Yeah, it's definitely nice to acquire a guy who is battling something other than knee injuries.

So, to recap on the guys we acquired: one is a guy with a hip issue (likely healed), one has a heart problem (Thabeet is rumored to be super-lazy), one has back issues (Okur, who will never suit up for Portland), and the last has foot, knee, and shoulder issues (Williams, who had foot surgery and will never play here).

Sounds about par for the course!

A 13 PER on 24.2 Usg isn't "very well", IMO. Although Flynn did have a WS/48 of .002 that year, which was the best of his career.

I'd play him extensively, though, just so Operation Tank can continue.

A 13 PER as a 20 year old rookie PG? I'll take it. Its better than Nash, Parker or Billups ever did.

(and no I'm not implying Flynn will ever be as good as the 3 I just mentioned)

A 24.2 USG rate for a 13 PER PG? Um, no thanks. Look, I wish the kid well, but he's not suddenly going to learn how to shoot the ball at an NBA level. The only player that keeps this team from becoming the 2004-05 Blazers is LMA at this point, and with a 33 year-old coach, and Crawford playing for a contract, I just don't see a lot of shots for LMA over the next month. Crawford was already averaging a career high 16.8 FGA/36, and that was before the AV Guy took over as "coach".
 
you do realize he was an assistant coach, before he took over, right?

He was a glorified ball shagger who cut videos. If the idea is to win games, you don't put Kaleb Canales in charge of the team. Maybe he'll be some great NBA coach someday, but as of now, it seems to be Crawford and Felton basically doing as they please, which is to be expected since they want contracts and have no allegiance at all to AV Guy.
