Why do we even want those dudes on the team?

'Rupes' needs the court time and confidence as does Badji. And Clingan maxed at 22 mpg in the last two seasons so it's not like there aren't center minutes available.
 
This is Olympic season and it's possible he could be like Sharpe is with the Canadian team but with the French team OR the Blazers will add him to the roster tomorrow it's still too early and maybe the whole Olympics thing is a factor so let it play out.

You honestly think that dude is good enough to sniff the French Olympic team?
 
I swear people do not read I never said he would be on the team but like Sharpe he might be traveling with them or whatever it's called cause maybe they see him on the team in 4 to 8 years.
 
Summer league is a guard game bigs generally never get the ball in summer league. I just hope to see some good defense from Clingan.

And I'll ask you the same question. You think that dude is good enough to even sniff the French Olympic team?
Now with your response obviously you do in 4-8 years.
Now think about that for a moment? Think about the French players that they have and that are in the NBA right now? Now think about the French players that are going to hit the scene in the next 4-8 years?
Rupert has a very long way to go. He's a practice player at this point. Shouldn't even be in the NBA except the Blazers are tanking.

In 4 to 8 years who knows and I never said he was but some were acting like since he had not been named yet he would not so was throwing out reasons WHY he might not have been named yet did not make any absolutes. I will admit I came on a little strong but damn this seems like a pointless reason to argue since it's not even one -- LOL

I can't believe Rupert won't be there. He needs as much court time as possible. Badji should be there as well.

Are you saying you know he won't and you find that incredible, or that you believe it would make no sense if he weren't there?

Well you do have a point.
 
Sharpe might as well be a guaranteed no

But I’m going to guess Scoot will play, even if it’s limited minutes.
 
Blazers retread Kevin Knox. So many on here thought this dude was a rotational piece? He's going back to summer league if that tells you anything about what value this place puts on scrubs.

Lighten up angry man!
 


For some reason Walker Kessler is playing. So now we should be able to compare Clingan to him properly...
 
My current roster guess:
Scoot, Rupert, Camara, Murray, Ellis, Clingan, Minaya, Walker (just turned 21)
 
I don't want Clingan to play in Summer League. That has ACL written all over it.

Sharpe should play 2-3 games to knock off some rust. Edit: forgot he's got somewhere else to be.

Scoot should play at least a couple games. I'm afraid of injury here too, but I badly want to see how he's progressing with the off-season program.

I don't get this. If he's going to rupture his ACL he's going to do it. Why does it matter where he does it?

To me, the SL games are actually more important than any game next season because next season our entire goal is to lose. Why watch that? Whereas in SL we actually could win. So play everybody! Play Scoot all game! The point of any basketball game is to entertain ME personally, so play the players I want to watch, Goddamnit.

A trip down memory lane

I remember we were a little disappointed by Oden in SL (what little there was before the first of his never-ending parade of injuries). But it's fun seeing Sergio set him up, at least.
