@BonesJones is gonna get told to "Fuck Off" like Kjironman did by Jason Quick if he keeps this up.



He will literally tell you he is tired of your shit.

Well Quick is partially right in which the Blazers can go over the cap to sign the guys he mentioned. There is just a limit as to how much they can offer Hood while they can offer Aminu and Layman anything.

But Hood gave up his Bird rights altogether to sign here. So there is that little aspect also.

Lol. Coincidencial timing, played the whole year. Your talking about a guy who - if he gets hurt where really no worse than we are without trading for him. If he isnthur, we have 4 all-star caliber players and the best team in the West (after KD leaves).

We won't have 4 in the playoffs. One will probably be injured. That one will probably be Blake.

5 years straight.

Ain't no WAY we should trade away youth or picks for him.

Those three words defeat any argument you have.

5 years straight ain't no coincidence. It's more than a trend. It's a condition.

And therefore an issue and an inevitability.

You know where I stand on Blake and why.

He will be broken when it counts.

We can still go 120% of his previous salary with his non bird rights, am pretty certain
 
Denver in trouble but there’s no lead that’s safe in the playoffs.

I usually leave that stuff to people with time to get and stay good at it. I used to know all the ins and outs but you got to stay on top of it. Too much work. More fun to watch. Hope Rodney has a good game and he stays good. So good he prices himself out of here. Let Neil worry about the rest right?
 
If Jokic lost some weight and toned up would he be an even better player or does he use his size to his advantage?

yeah, about 4.1M; Curry's non-Bird will be a shade under 3.4M IIRC. I'd think both could get more but maybe the sheer number of FA's this summer will keep the bidding down a bit

He needs to get in better shape. Nurk has an advantage over Jokic in that he’s in better condition. Too bad we won’t see Nurk in the playoffs this cuz I think he would have been a big star.
 
Serious question here.
Do NBA teams use people to come into games and sit in seats? Kind of like they do at awards shows?
Last night in particular there was an empty seat next to me. I was behind the Blazer bench up a bit. Not directly behind. After the game started maybe halfway through the first quarter an Asian gentleman came and sat in the seat. Everyone in the area was clapping cheering yelling and reacting to plays. This guy sat there and looked at his phone the entire game texting. He didn't say one word the entire game. When everyone else was standing he was sitting there completely oblivious to what was happening. He was not with the people on the other side of him for sure.
I literally wanted the guy to leave. I was giving high fives to everyone around me but that dude? Nothing.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Was he an OKC fan?

No. Not at all. At least i don't think so. There was really no interest in the game at all. If you were an OKC fan in a seat with a 10 point lead in the second quarter i would think someone would show a little emotion and at least watch the game?
I know what i spent to get the seat next to him. Maybe i'm cheap but i am at least watching the game i paid for? I gave my T-shirt away to a kid but this guy just threw his under his seat. It was weird.

Maybe he was just visiting Portland?
 
Corporate sponsors get some tickets and sometimes give them away to important customers, often international clients. Many have zero interest. I have seen people like that at games and get pissed because real fans can't get a seat.

Just my opinion and therefore it's not worth a ton but that type of behavior doesn't bother me all that much. I understand why it frustrates some people but it's never really frustrated me.
