Other teams' cuts

[WillG]

I too thought PJIII was much better than the majority of our bench back then.
Now he's on the outside looking in - guess his knee degradation is finally catching up with him.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Of these players, the player I like the most is Trey Burke, liked him since College. Although he's been somewhat of a dissapointment in the pros

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Idk u
idk but i remember arguing with people here that id rather have pg3 over luis montero and getting shit all over. So many people sucked monteros cock.

Don't look now but Montero is signed by the Pistons and Perry Jones is available again!

 

[Denny Crane]

None of the above.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

With Turner here, not sure we need Jefferson.

 

[Blazer4ever]

With Turner here, not sure we need Jefferson.

Or Perry Jones. We don't need another SF, we need our SFs to be able to play SF (or even PF in case of Harkless, Aminu)

 

[Blazer4ever]

Ok the perry jones highlights, he is very much like Harkless, probably not better, redundant

Montero was untouchable for years. It was unreal how people would ride his jock.

Do you have a link for that? I am not remembering it quite like that.

Can someone decode?

 

[Drttimmy]

Can someone decode?

It sorta reads like he was promised a role here, much the same line the Blazers use for wooing all free agents, so nothing shocking there. I guess the flashy, rich reference to the organization either refers to the literal: first class facilities, amenities, perks or the figurative: in regards to the pitch line to him. That's my take, but I'd be interested if he was referring to the facilities, amenities, and perks because I was under the impression most the league had caught up to the Blazers there. Or, rather, the Blazers had descended to matching the rest of the league.

You said you want me. Prove it. Show me the money.

Why does everyone think that there is always something to decode?
Not everything has a hidden meaning

Huh?

How is Gerald Green not on a roster? He always kills us

How is Gerald Green not on a roster? He always kills us

Yeah makes no sense. He was productive in the playoffs last year so can't tell me he's washed up. He'd be perfect off our bench. We're way too reliant on CJ to carry the second unit offensively.

 

[Boob-No-More]

How is Gerald Green not on a roster? He always kills us

Because he also has a very strong tendency to kill his own team. 9 times in 10 seasons he's had a negative BPM.

Interesting that the guy has basically been on a different team every single year for the last 10 seasons. That should tell us something.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Serious question. If someone is not good enough to make another team's 15 man roster, why do we think they would help our team?

I'm sure it's happened at some point, but when was the last time a player who was cut before opening night was picked up by another team and make a significant impact for that team?

Note: I am talking about players that were flat out cut, not bought out so they could go chase a ring with the team of their choosing.

Dumb stat, especially when judging role players.

Just for comparison, other players with negative BPM: JJ Redick, Courtney Lee, and you'll enjoy this one; Jared Dudley.

I wanted him over Martell (once we traded the 3rd pick). Neither lived up to their hype, but at least no one passed on CP3 to take Gerald Green.

Yeah I remember that debate very well. There was only about 3-4 of us who wanted CP3. He was too small for the rest of the forum.
The memory of Damon was too fresh in their minds.

I just picked that one. Look at Green's other advanced stats. Net rating, VORP, etc. All overwhelmingly negative.

There are reasons why all of JJ Redick, Courtney Lee and Jared Dudley are actually sought out by teams, and given big, long term contracts, and Gerald Green is passed around from team to team like Mrs. HCP at a meet and greet.

Feel free to ignore those reasons, but if Green is so good, why has he never stuck with any team, and why has he never made more than $3.5 million in an NBA season?

Take a look at the end of our roster.

I would have been fine with CP3 or Deron Williams, but it was John Nash's call and he was bound and determined to justify the Telfair pick, so no way was he taking another PG.

Take a look at the end of every team's roster. We're not the only team passing on Gerald Green.

I'd rather have Pat Connaughton than anyone we cut or anyone mentioned in this thread.
