Just in time for the playoffs run

Glad we locked him up until he's 31. Gotta get all of his prime years.

 

[Cugel]

Happy for him. Deserving imho

 

[robson]

Great story.

 

[B-Roy]

Grats Duop!

 

[riverman]

good to hear

 

[kjironman1]

Sure. I'm happy for him and all but why? What does he bring that will make this team better in the next 3 years?
If he is still on the team they are tanking still.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Can't argue about where the money is going.

 

[illmatic99]

Foregone conclusion but happy to see it.

Duop, Bari, Tou are all excellent value plays. They are all rotational players (at worst) on a good team.

 

[Natebishop3]

Well earned.

He's a big who can set screens and shoot. As a 10-15 mpg bench player, he would slot in on a lot of good teams as well.

 

[riverman]

Couldn't find terms of his 3 yeear deal but an article said we'll use part of our mid level exception on his deal.

I don’t see it.
Happy for him. He worked his whole life to get this but he will not be playing rotational minutes on a contender from what I see. NBA is full of guys better than him.

Blazers signed a player taller then 6'5. This is great news! It's a good first step towards becoming a real NBA team.

I hope you're right but that seems exceedingly optimistic to me. They are barely rotation players on a terrible team.

you know for a guy whos got underdog as his profile pic you sure as shit dont seem to like the underdog that much, whats not to like hes a decent rotational player for right now on a reasonable contract and like waychi said hes over 6'5. Its not like we just signed some albatross of a deal for him, or that he's some long time pillar. We have had plenty of injuries this year there was no reason not to sign him.

 

[Samuel]

Nice news for Duop. Anyone negging this move is negging a 2-3m dollar deal at the bottom of the roster that is easily moved/sloughed, so I'm not sure what you expect with an end of the bench specialty big.

Duop is basically replacing ~ Andrew Nicholson's contract which they won't have to pay.

 

[Everything Beagle]

We can sign-and-trade him to the bucks for Giannis after the three years.

 

[BassPlaya]

Happy. Sad about Hagans.

 

[riverman]

Our own G league team is going to be really usefull for filling out the bench

 

[HoopsFanAZ]

Really happy for Duop and the Blazers. As a 3rd string PF/C, he’s more than worth the money. For the Blazers, he’s done more. With the roster still being a work in process, glad to see Duop pulling the trigger.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good on Duop

 

[Chris Craig]

Happy. Sad about Hagans.

Why? Dude can go back to GLeague where he belongs

 

[KingSpeed]

No defense and they still brick open 3s and turnover the ball.

 

[illmatic99]

In 2 yrs.

 

[MickZagger]

He deserves it.

Also reminds me of Kevin Duckworth with those wristbands

You have a point.

That was pretty much my point. I'm happy for him. He has worked very hard to get to where he is.
