Say Goodbye

[BonesJones]

The more i think about it the more I’m intrigued by what kind of player CJ would be without Dame around. I mean Dame has more trade value and would make it easier to acquire Kawhi than using CJ.

Nurk/Collins/Kawhi/CJ/Bazz or Draft pick

It’s better than what we rolled out this season.

Uhhh, noo were near as good as Dame?

Don't even entertain the idea. Whoever does, I lose respect for.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Who I want to say goodbye to

Neil
Terry
CJ
Meyers
ET
Bazz
Pat
Layman
Swanigan
Papagiannis
Wilcox

Then figure out if Collins is a PF....(which he is) or the great white hope of the future.

If they make the mistake of thinking he is a WABC, then Nurk should go too.

Collins has the better contract

 

[stampedehero]

Kind of hard to be mad at Aminu after the yeoman's work he did in the series.

He worked hard.

 

[stampedehero]

I would like to see
MO
Chief
Collins
Coughnington
CJ
Dame
Baldwin
Swanigan
Nurk
Stay...............

Draymond can play pf...aminu cant...dont compare them

Draymond can play basketball, Aminu can't.

 

[blue9]

Connaughton is a towel waiver.

Pat is better than Turner.

 

[blue9]

Yourself. This team is stuck with a few of those names like it or not. So where might YOU go to get as far away as possible?

Ooooooooooh - sick burn!

 

[Chris Craig]

Pat is better than Turner.

Both are crap and need to go

 

[Scalma]

Pat is better than Turner.

No more takes please.

 

[blue9]

I don't think Lillard + Love P&R would've done any better against the Pels, than it did with Aminu.

I agree in as much as Terry never figured out how to position the P/R to create a passing lane from the ball to the screen once they doubled. But I disagree, because if that pass gets made successfully they'd at least have to guard Love, which would mean it's a trap and recover rather than a hard trap, leaving Dame with a single defender on him.

 

[blue9]

Both are crap and need to go

I'd keep Pat for $4m.

 

[BBert]

I'd keep Pat for $4m.

This is why Pat doesn't "need" to go. He's a good value roster spot for his contract at a minimum, and a useful player as needed.

Precisely.
And players like Layman don't even register on the thought radar.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pat averaged 4 ppg in 15 mpg in the playoffs. 20% from 3. We really needed scoring out of him and he gave us nothing. Jake Layman couldn't have been worse. I'm ready to move on from Pat. He does lots of little things that help the team but if he can't score, he's ultimately a liability.

If the only way to get Kawhi was to trade Dame and keep CJ you wouldn’t do it?

 

[tykendo]

Dame
(new SG)
Aminu
Collins
Nurkic

Will be our starting lineup next year.

If CJ is gone, it's because they traded him for Kawhi, or significant other talent that's not a SG. And that player would be a starter.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Which is pretty much a sideways move; who’s our starting SG then?

 

[Pinwheel1]

If the only way to get Kawhi was to trade Dame and keep CJ you wouldn’t do it?

For one year? His attitude was not exactly encouraging this year. I doubt he would be happy in Portland. I would certainly trade for him, but not for Dame.

 

[BonesJones]

If the only way to get Kawhi was to trade Dame and keep CJ you wouldn’t do it?

Nope. Kawhi leaves in a year in that case.

 

[blue9]

Nope. Kawhi leaves in a year in that case.

And probably sits the year out, "rehabbing".

 

[LayneStaley]

None of you know that, it’s just typical blazer fan pesimisim

 

[LayneStaley]

And anyone who thinks Dame is equal or better than Kawhi is delusional

 

[Boob-No-More]

Yeah I was thinking.
Man hope Collins & Nurk have huge growth and become 2nd and 3rd scoring options.

Maybe we should hire a legitimate, proven big man coach to help them reach their potential???

So you are saying we do well with the top free agents around the league? The point is Kawhi is not leader. He would need Dame to be successful in Portland. And if he were not successful after one year, why would he stay?
