Exclusive Plumlee a Blazer

[Trackjack]

Neil will hold pack with this young team the only persons might get traded is the ones on there last year of there contracts.

Hope RHJ doesn't turn into some defensive superstar. Plumlee has looked ok so far, but looks more like a backup energy guy. I like how good he is at finishing at the rim, and his athleticism and ball handling. He's definitely a unique and interesting player. But he doesn't seem to really be much of a "force" on offense or defense.

His defense is a huge concern of mine. How many successful modern NBA big men don't shoot outside nor protect the rim? Seems now they have to be able to do at least one of those. With his height and athleticism he should be a far better help defender.

Bump.

Plumlee is a keeper.

Not sure if happy or sad....

HAPPY! Very HAPPY!

At 2.3 mil he's got to be one of the lowest paid starters in the playoffs

He's on a rookie scale contract; doesn't really mean anything. Drummond makes $3 million and Dame $4 million. Draymond Green won a title making less than a million.

Harkless acquired for cap space and Aminu only making $7 million both had real low acqusition costs and those were less than a year ago.

Plumlee is the 11th highest paid Blazer, making less than even Vonleh and Roberts.

And he'll still be on his rookie contract next year. I'd say that's good value.

Those guys aren't starters, though.

Vonleh, until it counted....

Yeah. That's my point. Not only is Plumlee paid less than most starters, he's also paid less than a lot of 3rd string guys.

Plumlee bringing it AGAIN!

 

[HailBlazers]

RHJ really????!!!!

 

[oldmangrouch]

Plumlee only had 14 boards tonight (and those silly 10 assists). Kid needs to quit slacking off.

We obviously haven't seen what RHJ (rough hand-job) will become as a player. But, I would make that same trade every damned day.

He lacks everything that makes Lopez awesome. He is like the Mormon idea of a Lopez.

Let's get a time machine and go fuck with the us of a week ago. We'll say: "well, here's the bad news: the team is going to get completely blown up. But here's the good news: when draft day is over we're going to have TWO DUKE PLAYERS!"
The old us will think we mean Okafor and Winslow and get really excited, but (tee hee) actually it'll be Henderson and Plumlee! Won't that be hilarious?

It's funny: somebody must have told Olshey "leave 'em wanting more" because every time he does a trade we say "there's GOT to be more to this..."

I assume this is a joke. For those that don't get it, that's like saying "Manute Bol without the height".

I take almost all of it back! Stotts + Plumlee = greatness! (For this series, at least.)
