Remaining Free Agents

[TBpup]

You were supposed to answer "The whole Daum game." Try to keep up

Daum it, figure it out!

 

[Scalma]

Not the worst add to the free agent point guard pool.

My recollection is that he played well for them.
The NBA really hates short dudes.

I’d like to steal another ex King. Mason also fits what Olshey likes in players. High character guy, tough minded, played four years in college, probably has a chip on his shoulder. I’d give him a look although he is undersized.

Career 30% from 3. If you're going to be short, you've got to shoot it.

 

[wizenheimer]

my hunch is that the reason JaMychal Green is un-signed is that the Clippers are holding off because his cap-hold is less than what they will re-sign him for. I haven't heard a thing about him talking to any other teams

* If the decision is a backup C, then Noah is my favorite. Javale McGee and Greg Monroe could be alternates but Noah can do more than either and is a good defender as well

* the PF list is pretty thin on desirable (and realistic) candidates. Marcus Morris may not be realistic. Jonas Jerebko is too much like Tolliver. Kenneth Faried would bring energy and physicallity, but I'd question his mesh with Whiteside. Cheick Diallo is a surprisingly good rebounder, at least statistically, and his youth leave the possibility of upside. I just don't know much about him though

* if the Blazers need a PG, there is Rondo, Devin Harris, Bayless, and Quinn Cook

a problem is I don't know how many of these guys are waiting on Kawhi

He’s a lot better shooter than his percentages indicate. It was one of his strengths coming into the league. Wouldn’t put too much stock in his production in sporadic minutes. Actually now that I think about it he’ll probably just go to the Warriors and replace Cook.

 

[Haakzilla]

Bender or Chriss are worth a spot, neither is over 22 year old and neither has been in a good situation in the nba.

...I really dislike Chriss, he is such a punk ass bad sport! Watched him play in college and knew immediately he does not have the right attitude and so far his NBA career has proven this. Bender is such a better fit with this iteration of the Blazers team!

FTFY

Something told me you would be the one....

I get that Bender seems like an Olshey type move but I think at this point it’d be a waste of a spot. I’d rather get players that I know could play. If we were set depth wise I’d be ok with Bender. But we’re really not.

I’d rather get Jabari Parker. We know he can score if he’s healthy.

Based on the stats he hasnt. Hes been awful.

Man for the minimum there are very few players I wouldn’t be ok with.

he's available

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Daum, Porter or Bender.

 

[Scalma]

Fuck off.

Is portland waiting on someone that’s waiting on Kawhi/LA? Is everyone else as well?

I'm assuming FAs are waiting on Kawhi.

 

[BigGameDamian]

between the Lakers and the Clippers there's probably 70M in cap-space. If Kawhi goes to one or the other there will be 35M. If he goes to Toronto there will still be that 70M. I'd bet a lot of free agents that may be headed for minimum deals are hoping to get 1 or 2 million more than a minimum by going to a jilted LA team

I think the NBA has a little Kawhi constipation right now. What's funny is that the moratorium doesn't end till Sunday. Things just happened at warp speed this off-season.

 

[LayneStaley]

Man I bet Boogie is gonna have a major chip on his shoulder next year. This free agency humble pie might actually help him as a player next season.

 

[Duckhook]

Probably the most "Failton" a photo ever shot. Priceless!

The last thing he needs right now is more weight on those legs ....

Who is left now? We should know by the end of the day......

I imagine it won't take long now and in fact may be a race to get what is left over.

Would still like Noah.

 

[oldfisherman]

Any rumors on JaMycal Green?

Hope he falls to us @ vet min. He would be the perfect backup PF.

He’s one of the best FAs left and there are a couple teams with space. I’m guessing he’ll get a nice enough deal from one of them.

 

[maxiep]

Looks like Dwight Howard is going to be bought out by MEM after being traded. In a limited role, he could be amazing if he'll sign for the min. Of course, I expect him to go ring shopping with the Clips.

 

[TBpup]

Noah....there is a lot of rain here in Portland. Should be perfect for you.
