Rodney Hood a Blazer

[hoopsjock]

Huh? Curry? In what league is baldwin a PG?

Baldwin has been a PG all 3 years in the NBA, in summer league, and in the G-league so in what world is he not a PG?

The National Basketball Association. It's a sport where players take several steps trying to put an orange
ball into a peach-basket-style rim. Sometimes, the players dribble the ball.

 

[TBpup]

The thing that makes me nervous about the trade is that we now have exactly one PG on the roster.

ET - not a PG, regardless of what Stotts and Olshey are saying publicly.
CJ, no.
Simons, no.

Some may not like WB4, but he's a real PG.

True....but since B4 wasn't playing anyhow, it doesn't make much of a difference. Turner will still handle when he is in as will CJ when Dame is out.

Oh please... Argue with someone else. Dude has not even sniffed real playing time in this league. Next.

Except he hasn't actually played any real minutes as a PG other than garbage time.

Wait, are you actually trying to make the argument that end of bench guys can't have a position because they haven't "sniffed real playing time"? Like he has to earn a spot in the rotation to get a position? What position does Papagiannis play?

I understand it, I just don't like it.

 

[James lamphear]

In 11 games vs POR, he has averaged: 14 pts, 3 rebs, 2.5 asts on 41% FG, 27% from 3 in 25 mpg. That's about a decent bench player. Shooting is terrible.

Well now he can score for us due to we not guarding him a any more. Plus I believe he put 20 on us last outing.

Any protections on the 2nd round picks we sent out?

I don't think he has PG skills offensively. Not a great ball handler or passer for the position.

AFA can play point guard!

This was Dame a few weeks ago:

“Because at the end of the day, I know in my heart I want to win. I want to win a championship for this city, but I’m not willing to put somebody under the bus to do it. That means more to me than saying ‘I won a championship!’ but now this guy has been traded to a bad situation, and now his team don’t like him as much and he might be out of the league in a year. I’m not going to have that. I’m not going to have that on me.”

Could be the case for both Wade and Nik.

What Dame was saying is that he doesn't want to be the one to say this guy and that guy should be traded, just let NO do his thing

 

[SIeepwalker]

Stotts better not fucking take inutes for Jake or I'll be PISSED

Well if there's no other trade made be prepared to be pissed lol.

Fun fact, Hood backwards is D'ooh!

Yes, we can trade them back for 2 3rd rounders.

none i believe. every site just says 21 and 23 2nd round picks

How long before Timberline Lodge start using him as their spokesperson?

LOL, I know.

Mt. Hood was not formed millions of years ago to give people a place to ski. It was formed to foretell the coming of Rodney Hood.

 

[calvin natt]

Something to be said, but you see some players are so salty when they're traded. Even scrubs, but seems different here. Here are two dudes that didn't get any PT, but still seem to appreciate their time here.

Call me crazy but it sure doesn’t look like a bunch of guys sorry to see him go

Glad someone else said it. They seemed pretty whatever about it. Then again I don’t have too many other goodbyes to compare it to.

I disagree. He's very quick. His ball handling is okay. Passing is okay. Like I said before he definitely needs to learn how to play in the NBA because he isn't there yet but he does have a lot of the physical tools. It would probably suit him more to be on a more uptempo type team. I just think he needs consistent minutes on the floor to take his lumps. He kind of reminds me of Bazemore a little bit who also took a few years to develop. I never said Baldwin would be a good starting PG in this league but I can see him becoming a solid contributor on a 2nd unit, especially if he learns to play defense without being overaggressive.

Classy guy. I've never had a complaint about Nic except his missed shots. Wish him the best of luck in Cleveland.

Funny. Was just thinking last week that Rodney Hood would be a good fit if we could swing it. I approve of this deal.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

J

Fun fact, Hood backwards is D'ooh!

ajahahahaha

 

[SIeepwalker]

Sad that the guy the least deserving of his minutes is the one that's the least likely to have them taken from him

I'll let you figure out who that is
