More Batum, I agree. Let him concentrate on defense and work on his offense/rebounding as he can.

I'm more in favor of him playing more late game situations versus just starting off the game then siting on the bench the rest of the game.

The interesting thing is Roy's PER at SF: +18.8. It's actually his highest differential (among PG, SG, and SF)

How do they determine what position he was playing? I mean does the player have to start in that position? Many times players will switch roles, PG/SG say, during the same stint on the floor so I would think it'd be difficult to tell.
 
At least we have him locked up for four more years at a cheap contract. Hell yeah. I do think that he'll continue to get better. Just has to overcome the injury bug.

I agree. For his contract, this is only a small bump in the bigger plans. Now is the time to sort the other guy's place on the team.

I think it's determined by who the player is guarding. If Roy is guarding the opposing SF, he's considered a SF for that segment of the game.
 
sucks for him

...not that big of a loss for the team though. I prefer Nic and Travis over Webster, and of course Roy can match up there on some 3s too. He's okay but hardly a main cog. Here's hoping he heals up right this time and is good to go next season.

That's like five years in a row now that a starter or potential starter has been out at least half of a season up to a full season. I hope he recovers well.
 
If we make the playoffs, it will be by default or luck. You choose. It is 100% unacceptable not to make a deal with these latest circumstances. With Webster and Oden being out, how in gods name did he not make a move? Obviously he wants a lotto pick. Before you kill me on this .... hear me out.

1. A day after the deadline, Martell is OUT FOR THE FUCKING SEASON? He didnt know this Monday? Thats just unacceptable. And you don't upgrade at SF? Even with salmons?????

2. Oden prob needs surgery. Its the worst kept secret in Blazer land. You know it and i know it. Why it hasn't happened i dont know unless they really want to miss the playoffs.

So i ask again, youth or no youth... cake baking crap, etc... HOW CAN YOU JUST LET A TEAM WHO IS 33-20 BE THROWN UNDER THE BUS AND NOT GIVE THEM ANY HELP???? IM SOORY KP LOVERS....BUT NOBODY CAN TELL ME HE DIDNT KNOW THIS STUFF ON WED NIGHT. IT IS UNREAL. As soon as oden goes under the knife, we are officially done. Another lotto pick which is what "good ole" KP lives for. A FUCKING DISGRACE.

Bad decision by KP to resign Martell prior to the season. Hindsight is fun.

If we knew then what we know now. That's life.

But on the bright side, Batum will be able to develop at a good pace. Kid's future is bright.

Because Batum and Bayless are that trusted with out FUTURE, the whole point of Re-Development. Those two guys are guaranteed the reason why we didn't make a trade.

He was already inconsistent with his confidence. I hope this doesn't break him.

A twenty-year old in a country half-way around the world, where he doesn't speak the language, and making millions. I think he's doing fine!
 
Yea that's that hardest thing for some fans. Being patient. What do these people think championships grow on trees?!?
 
Unbelievable - he missed an entire season with a stress fracture?
 
There are some that say Blazers posters on this board will complain about anything that happens to the Blazers good or bad.

On the flip side, there are some Blazers posters that will never see any news as being negative.

A lot of times Batum plays D against the other teams best player. So he's considered to be playing the PG, SG, SF, position then? That is being kept track of during a game? When he scores he's playing that position as well, so if he is guarding a PG then he's scoring from the PG position too, or by who's guarding him?

Webster's out?!?!?!?!

Better pack it in and go home boys.
 
well that sucks....hopefully he works as hard as he supposbly did this offseason to improve his game.
 
Bad news, but we're 34-20 without him and anything we got out of Martell this season would've been considered a bonus I think. His addition next year will be like adding a free agent.

If who you're guarding defines your position, I saw a play last night where LA guarded both a Center and a PG....

Posters define player positions in a variety of ways. Height, offensive style of play (playmaker, wing, hi/low post), who they defend... quite a few spats here are over this sort of stuff.
