Probably Rupert

Bout damn time.

Blazers waiving Rupert

Love what this dude brings to our team. All out all the time! Don’t need to draw up a play for him. Reminds me of early Jerome Kersey with better handles.

Had to be Rupert - more depth at the wing anyway.

Not as fast at the run down man, but an apt comparison.

Agreed! Rip Sidy.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I’m happy for him and the team. I like what he brings along with the improvement he’s shown. He deserves a spot.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Love Sidy! Making vast improvements to his game.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Rupert waived to sign Sidy.

Thank You Rupert and Good Luck

Got to love role players like Sidy who bring the energy every night.
Cheap contract and valuable over the course of a season.

Sidy and Wesley are nice to have on our bench.
Add them to Camara, and that gives us 3 energy guys.
I guess we can put Scoot in that category, too.

Hopefully, we can resign Williams to a cheap contract as well this summer.

Tisse is another energy guy I would not mind back on a cheap contract, but I think he might be the odd man out. (Or rather, the injured guy out)

19 games the last two seasons is a big concern. Having him and RWIII on the team together is a risk.

Danny Marang kinda implied that if he clears waivers they can resign him to a 2 way

I hope so. I feel bad for these international kids who are borderline NBA players who get cut. At least this way, he can stick around Portland for the rest of the season and try to get picked up by someone this summer. Here today and gone tomorrow is rough.

I like Rups but in what 2 1/2 years now he has shown a little improvement but not what we all hoped he would turn into. My guess is someone will claim him off waivers and I wish him all the best.
