Event The OFFICIAL Trade Deadline thread

Yep--I think he could be an underrated acquisition. I would trust him as our primary backup 3.

Yup Gee is a guy you can trust given around 15 minutes.

 

[Scalma]

Id take gee over Barton any day. Gives us a good sized wing we can use for defensive purposes. At the very least he's 6 extra fouls.

 

[Scalma]

Wonder who fills that final roster spot

 

[BBert]

Haha! Nice job Neil!!

Wright is sooo buried. May as well trade him.

Deal coming soon?

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Love this trade.

Prince.

 

[BBert]

Alonzo Gee has been shooting the ball well this season.

48% and 42% from three.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Maybe just maybe we can convince Jerm to come play here now.

 

[BBert]

This is more than I expected.

We just got better.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

LOL, TRob, JJ, Javale and Faried? The Shaqtin' A Fool camera team never has to leave Denver.

 

[Blazinaway]

Maybe just maybe we can convince Jerm to come play here now.

or do we add a PG?

 

[magnifier661]

Seems like a good deal for Portland. Perhaps a little insurance for this summer if Matthews leaves and Afflalo is the better player. Denver wanted more for Chandler and Neil was able to get Afflalo for a bit less. Still no real SF outside of Batum but perhaps there is now room for Prince?

Or quite possibly insurance on Batum as well. Wes can play SF because of his size. He's not as great of a passer, but he's deadlier from range and can post up.

 

[BBert]

We traded our non-rotation short-timers for a legit sixth man and a much needed backup SF who can shoot and defend.

I couldn't be happier.

 

[Pinwheel1]

or do we add a PG?

That would be my choice.

You forgot Barton... This is golden.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

or do we add a PG?

Who though? Will Bynum? Jordan Farmar?

 

[BBert]

Id take gee over Barton any day. Gives us a good sized wing we can use for defensive purposes. At the very least he's 6 extra fouls.

Barton: 6'6" 175#
Gee: 6'6" 225#

And as I mentioned, Gee is shooting the ball well this season (48%/42%)

And he's got to be, umm, let's say a better decision maker.

Of course. Barton has to be good for a few too.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lol Philly...

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[B-Roy]

Looks like Afflalo was the first domino.

 

[Natebishop3]

Looks like Afflalo was the first domino.

Definitely seems that way.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

McGee may get waived.

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[Blazinaway]

I would guess that implies trades, filling an empty roster spot with a Prince, PG, or even Javale could easily occur

 

[HailBlazers]

Alonzo Gee has been shooting the ball well this season.

48% and 42% from three.

Fucking great work Neil.

 

[illmatic99]

Closely watching the situation in OKC. I want them to be forced into keeping Jackson. Westbrook just called him out in public, and their chemistry is broken.

Don't bail them out by giving them Lopez, Billy King.

 

[BBert]

Fucking great work Neil.

As has been pointed out elsewhere: I guess Gee's shooting is a bit of a small sample size. But still: He's an upgrade over Will at the wing position. I'll take it!
