Jason Quick ‏@jwquick One of the factors for Dorell Wright in choosing the Blazers: Wright's 5-year-old son is a huge Oregon Ducks fan who loves DeAnthony Thomas




I don't see any NBA players interested in Beaver players, lol.

Jeebus, the Ducks are now recruiting for the Blazers as well.

If only the NBA would allow the Blazers to have over 300 different uniform combinations.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I can't be the only one sick of your Beaver bashing!

Wait, so you're telling me his son is a bandwagon fan of the Ducks? Is there any other kind?

Even Beaver graduates can't sell out their tiny stadium.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

is that a recruiting violation?

THAT GODDAMN WHORE CHIP KELLY!!!1!1!!

Of course. Extra money in the players' pockets that doesn't count against the cap. What's not to like?

Aside from one known current player, I'm sure most are Beaver fans.

Most NBA players live for Beavers, especially after games and on the road.

Excellent.

From an OKC forum:

Once he didn't sign right away, good riddance. He obviously doesn't care about winning. Still, having somebody choose Portland over us...wow

.

 

[santeesioux]

They do realize where they live, right? Even Portland beats the shit out of them in that respect.

Having been to OKC many times comparing the two is like comparing Seattle to Omaha. Care to chime in, HCP?

But I don't think that's what he was saying -- I think he's referring to their record vs. ours.

 

[santeesioux]

Yeah, i just wanted to get a dig at them.

I realize they're OKC fans, so they aren't very knowledgeable, but fit is also a factor, maybe he thought he was a better fit here?

 

[magnifier661]

I really hope okc slips next season. I know it's a reach; but I want that dick Clayton to feel the pressure of his dumb fuck mistakes!

That Thunder fan is as conceited as a Laker fan. He feels entitlement to any player the Thunder want.

 

[maxiep]

That OKC fan isn't wrong. I don't think there's any doubt about which place I would choose to live, but if I were interested in winning, I'd move my ass to the Sooner State for the winter and spring.

I think Wright is thinking about his future contract and career. He'd be behind KD in OKC. How many minutes a game does he get? Here, he looks at frail Nico and sees he can get some serious run. He'll blow this popsicle stand in two years with a much bigger deal.

 

[jlprk]

Maybe it's persuasion power. Olshey has the charm of a lion, while Presti is a nerd.

Who would you follow if ordered, a lion or an owl?

 

[Sean.ivity]

Love this move... I kill with wright on 2k haha.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I like wright more than webster

 

[magnifier661]

I like wright more than webster

I second that

I saw this article about Webster and all it did was make me feel even better about Wright. I think he had a lot of success on the Warriors because of the other shooters and conversely not so much with the Sixers. So hopefully he have a Warriors kind of year again with us for a huge bargain.
