So who's gone thread?

[magnifier661]

The way Certain players cashed out, I suspect a few will be leaving. Pretty sad really

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Freelands gone to Europe, Dorell Wright is gone because we won't want to resign him, Kaman, Lopez and Afflalo are probably gone.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Nicolas Batum - This should be a no-brainer, Neil!

Robin Lopez - talk about quitting on your team. He went into the playoffs as an absolute shell.

Chris Kaman - A total waste of time. A total non-factor for 90% of the season.

 

[riverman]

Freeland, Crabbe, Blake, Afflalo and Gee

I bet Wright comes back. As I've said in the past he seems to be very well liked by all the players, and around the league by his former team mates. He wont get a huge contract, but I bet we offer him something.

I think you'll be surprised.

 

[santeesioux]

Plus I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted his (Wright's) brother. That would be really nice chemistry.

 

[riverman]

I want Tim Frazier to stay

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I'd love Dwright back. I just don't see the team bringing him back. As Jabari young stated the other day on the pregame show, I think he ends up in Miami with his bro Dwade

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I want Freeland back. Could do worse for an end of the bench big. He might be tempted by other money though.

 

[oldmangrouch]

I am really disappointed in RoLo . I thought the guy wanted to be here - and if nothing else he was a pro. His descent into "fuck you Portland" mode just shocks me.

I'm also surprised and disappointed how badly the AA trade turned out.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Afflalo - 0/0/0/0/0 and also finished the playoffs with a -0.3 PER.

You hope he doesn't pick up his option.

 

[ripcityboy]

Just putting this out there. I hope the team picks up Joey Buckets Young as a undrafted free agent. Go Ducks!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Wright can stay or go, you can never have enough cheap shooters off the bench.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Maybe the easy fix is keeping everyone and replacing the coach.

I don't think they will but just maybe it would be.

Nicolas Batum - This should be a no-brainer, Neil!

Robin Lopez - talk about quitting on your team. He went into the playoffs as an absolute shell.

Chris Kaman - A total waste of time. A total non-factor for 90% of the season.

Agreed except for Kaman, I thought he did far better than people thought. He had some really great games that saved us. He was just never intended to play heavy mins. He was also invaluable for Meyers during the season.

 

[PDXFonz]

I'd love to have Rolo as our back up center. If we can find a way to bring somebody like Hibbert in as our starter for less than a Max then I would be all for it.

Not quite sure how you arrived to this Rolo revelation...care to give an example? and not recent play cause you could add several others on that list.

Agreed, I think this was the plan in general. Rolo was just a stop gap solution.

 

[Scalma]

Kaman is trade bait.

Wright can stay. He's one of the leaders and can contribute.

Lopez can go, especially if Hibbert becomes available.

Afflalo would be better with a training camp under his belt. He was doing well until Wes went down. If he opts in he can be our 7th man.

Frazier over Blake please.

And the obvious ones, bring back wes and LA

 

[Draco]

Frazier; he was only picked up to potentially use in a lopsided trade since his deal is unguaranteed.

Gee is gone. I think we resign everyone else; keep our 1st round pick and sign an MLE free agent. The players want to give it one more try with the same group healed from injuries. LaMarcus only signs a 2 year max deal with a player option after one year so he can cash in on the TV money.

 

[blue32]

Kaman goes please
Wright goes please
Lopez is our backup
AAA I'll give a pass to
Blake needs to be turned into 3rd string if he stays
Frazier looks like a decent backup PG

Gee can go
Batum can go (will he ever be consistent?)

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Afflalo - 0/0/0/0/0 and also finished the playoffs with a -0.3 PER.

You hope he doesn't pick up his option.

that's why i wished they had not even played him in the last game or two; to piss him off enough that he would want out and not exercise his option.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I don't want to see Gee gone; I don't want any to leave who have heart. Did you see one guy on the Grizzlies, bench or starters, who didn't come out there with passion? That was the difference in this series. I don't think I have as bad an opinion of Lopez as some. I thought he was out there working and I think he could have been utilized more on offense. Where is he when Aldridge would drive and suddenly be surrounded? Shouldn't we have set up a play where Aldridge takes just one dribble, then passes to Lopez for a short jumper?
Batum, yeh I don't care if he takes responsibility for his bad play. Because he really doesn't; he doesn't say he will skip the national team and work on strengthening selective parts of his game and his body. (Couldn't he at least strengthen his grip enough so guys couldn't always slap the ball out of his hands?) If we can find a restricted free agent we really like, who likes Portland; I would try to force a trade. I want some tougher guys on the Blazers.
I wouldn't be unhappy to see Stotts go if we had somebody definitely better lined up. Golden State had the guts to get rid of Mark Jackson.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

*edit*

Afflalo had an atrocious -5.1 PER with an equally bad 20 TS%

Yikes.

 

[magnifier661]

I think the domino of who stays and goes will start with Aldridge. Obviously signing Aldridge will be the first move. If he doesn't sign with us, then we go a completely different route, building a team around Dame, CJ and Leonard. Everyone else would be gone IMO.

Now if we resign Aldridge, then I suspect the core will stay, including signing Wes and Lopez. Maybe we make a move for Hibbert to solidify the center position and entertain offers for Batum, but we could very easily keep everyone and add the MLE player (preferably a SF).

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Freeland, Crabbe, Blake, Afflalo and Gee

WHAT!?!
And you call yourself a Crabbe fan? An upper crustacean? I'm revoking your official Stampede program, t-shirt, and decoder ring. And, I'm telling jlprk.

oops

 

[maxiep]

I don't know. And no one else on this board knows either.

Freeland, Crabbe, Blake, Afflalo and Gee

Crabbe? He's on a rookie contract and showed potential all season.
