So when is Troutlaw coming back?

He doesn't seem to fit in with NeO's "Summer of Freckle".

Never a bad idea to have someone on the team who loves the northwest, especially one that is friends with our star PF as his contract winds down.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

That can't be. Blake sucks according to most posters here. We overpaid and our off-season is a failure!!!!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If the Blazers goal this off season was to get older and whiter they should have just signed me.

I still stand by this statement.

I'm very happy with the bald white guy signings. Quietly competent guys who should throw in around 16 points a night between them off the bench. After two seasons of really, really bad bench scoring, it's nice to get competence. And neither guy is a real ball dominator like Mo was, so it's pretty likely other bench guys will see their scoring rise a little.

And Cunningham

Kind of a surprise to me--this will be the 10th time he's switched teams in his 11 year NBA career. He's the journey man's journey man. A guy who's easy to add, and also easy to let go.

I got skillz!

And my modding powers would allow me to ban other players away from the basket.

S&T for Blake Griffin?

I would bet $100 that Kaman and Blake will not combine to average 16ppg this season.

I will be very interested to see how this challenge and debate plays out ...

Them combining for 16 ppg would be the best case scenario.

Sucker's bet. Easy money for PtldPlatypus

If they average 15, it'd still be more than Mo and Wright (our two most prolific scorers off the bench last year).

I agreed but it could be close. The bigger hope is they make others better and they score more

Thats kinda what I was thinking

I only make sucker's bets. And if I lose...well our two unheralded free agents just averaged 16ppg. I'd gladly pay for that.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kaman and Blake. Fresh off the boat from LA.

Blake fresh off the boat from Goldent State actually.

 

[RoyToy]

So Neil Olshey gets a C- for this offseason

Wow. Talk about no creativity.

Fucking stupid.

 

[RoyToy]

Seriously going to waste another year of Aldridge's prime as a fringe 50 win team and a 5-8 seed

I'm so excited for next season

 

[LuckyShot]

Might not be a sexy signing on the stat sheet, but I like what he can bring to a team as a bench player for cheap. He should be more reliable than Mo and he should allow players like CJ, Will, TRob, and even Wright to produce more. You know, since they no longer will have to watch Mo pound the air out of the ball for 23 seconds every other possession.

I knew this was going to happen in December when I sent my Xmas card out!

Lol, i am stoked about blake coming back.
I love his consistency, his hard work, and his bb smarts. I wont be facepalming everytime he touches the ball like i did with mo

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

And Cunningham

Fuck this noise... Cut Crabbe and let's bring back Roy! (kinda not kidding...)

 

[Strenuus]

So, for those of you whose expectations are too high because they lack reality, let me ask you something.

Can you buy a $100,000 car fo $5,000 legally?

I'll wait.

 

[PDXFonz]

Does steve blake remind anybody else of Edward Norton?

 

[THE HCP]

They even see the same barber as The HCP!

Damn Kaman looks all business. Career resurgence anyone?
