Patty Mills anyone?

[B-Roy]

Have people forgotten end of the quarter Patty?

That's why I want him. Just imagine the draft pick we'll end up with?

 

[magnifier661]

Phoenix owns his rights, but I agree with you that they will match........Sign and trade? Can that be done?

Oops, yeah Phoenix. LOL I'm in meltdown mode right now and I'm not thinking straight. I've been funneling through pages of texts from my Laker friends gloating this win today.

I don't know if a sign and trade can be done. What would Phoenix want? It sure in the hell won't be Felton! LOL

You look forward to the draft a lot. Do you really trust this management team with a decent pick? I know I don't.

Yes. Beginning, middle, and end of quarter Raymond has washed that memory away entirely.

Rumor has it Leonard Nimoy will come out of "Vulcan" and be our GM.

Hahahaha I was about to say that

Well I'm sort of half-way joking (at least half the time) but do I trust the current group? No, not really, but this might be a draft where it doesn't even matter. Bert can just crib off of draftexpress and Chad Ford and probably get a decent player.

I'm not opposed.

I'll bet that Vulcan death grip could persuade Nate to play Williams a bit more

You know, if we followed draftexpress the last couple of drafts we could have actually had some decent players.

Pretty sure S&Ts can not be done once season has started in new CBA, so no to brooks.
And Patty, I believe, is still our RFA. I could be wrong on that, but we still retain his rights, so isn't technically free to sign with anyone.

I don't think we tendered an offer so he's UFA.

Ooooo... We could have the first AI general manager! Draftexpress will run draft day, Trade Machine coupled to Hollinger stats will handle trades (with an S2 poll veto option), and Cleverbot will do interviews and meet & greets!

The Trail Blazers on Wednesday extended a qualifying offer to Patty Mills, making the third year point guard a restricted free agent on Friday.

The $1,171,494 qualifying offer does not guarantee Mills will remain with the Blazers, but allows the Blazers to retain his rights and match offers from other teams.

The Blazers did extend Patty Mills a qualifying offer, so he is a RFA.

My bad.

Can't believe they actually gave him an offer. Ugh, stupid FO.

And the team would operate about 500% more efficiently and smoothly than it does now.

And interviews would be 500% more entertaining!

User: Should we waive Raymond Felton?
Cleverbot: Do you want? Maybe we should.

User: Are you proud of LaMarcus Aldridge's performance this season?
Cleverbot: I am a human as far as I know. I just want to talk. I am like the underling of an ambassador.

User: Do you mean Paul Allen?
Cleverbot: Yes. Do you ever sleep?

User: I sure do. Is it hard to work for Paul?
Cleverbot: Nothing is hard if you don't want it to be.

User: That's a very interesting perspective... So, what are your thoughts on Nicolas Batum?
Cleverbot: Oh snap. I lost everything I wrote.

User: How can the Blazers improve this offseason?
Cleverbot: In many cases, I could meet another human face-to-face.

User: What direction do you see the Blazers going heading into the All-Star break?
Cleverbot: Of course... I just told you... That way.. If we ever meet, you can pretend to be 'just like me' but I guess there is a lot of that going around isn't there.

User: Is it time to tank for lottery picks?
Cleverbot: Phil thinks it is time to go to bed.

User: So, you think we should trade away Gerald Wallace?
Cleverbot: I think so, though I don't want to lose my boyfriend.

User: Huh. Anyway, are you excited by any prospects in the upcoming draft?
Cleverbot: I learned about the American Revolution.

 

[Draco]

Hell yes! Patty can hit the 3 ball. He should immediately take Nolan's spot in the rotation. We can cut Armon for him.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Cut Blaze and sign Patty! He's a much better mascot!

Only half correct, from what I can tell:

Two players who have been released mid-season, Martin and Mills, both of whom played for the Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers, have not received their FIBA letters of clearance. Per their agreement with their team and the CBA, both must wait at home until Xinjiang’s season is completed.

Martin has been playing for the Clippers for two weeks (8 games, starting on February 8). So, why haven't the Blazers, or anyone else signed Patty?

Yeah, I know he sucks, but can he possibly be any worse than Felton or any more useless than Armon?
