Free Agent Trendon Watford released

[cheesehoff]

Complaining that Watford isn't good enough to care about losing is pretty sad.
Some might think he is not good enough to start or be a role player on a contender, but a lot of others don't agree. What is true: he's young and cheap, he's improved each year (especially his shooting), he's a glue guy on the court and in the locker room, this team needs all the size they can have, and there's at least a couple other guys on the roster that appear to be obviously less valuable than TWat.
As far as the nickname goes, those that are questioning it, I'm gonna assume, have never been on a team or in a locker room. That nickname would be an obvious name given on 99.9% of all teams.

Disseminating the truth is of utmost importance in maintaining a functioning and informed society. Truth serves as the foundation for rational decision-making, ethical behavior, and the progress of human civilization. It allows individuals to make informed choices, fosters trust among people and institutions, and promotes accountability.

In a world where misinformation can spread rapidly, the pursuit and dissemination of truth become even more critical. It is our collective responsibility to champion truth, engage in rigorous fact-checking, and support reliable sources of information. Only by embracing the truth can we aspire to create a just, informed, and enlightened society.

Lol considering the things you outraged about let's not say other outrages are cute.

When I say cute it's not meant as demeaning. I really think it's sweet that we as a fan base tend to fall in love with guys like Watford. I get crazy about big time hypotheticals that are not at all likely. That's because I'm really neurotic but it's not cute. It's cute that people actually give a fuck about a guy with almost no ability to impact wins and losses. Again not belittling everyone that loves Trendon just commenting that it's weird because he's inconsequential but it makes sense because our Blazers are the only game in town.

I think you're jealous because you never had the level of sources I have now when you were writing regularly.

Your sources seem to be as regular as extra fiber in your diet, FAM

I wonder if I can take Watford's place on the Blazers summer league team?

This is T-Wat's replacement.

No pressure, but you better win MVP!

Rumors have been swirling that Watford's time with the Portland Trail Blazers came to an abrupt end because he started acting like he was on a high horse, refusing even the humble task of assisting the janitorial staff with cleaning urinals. It's a sad day when a player's arrogance overshadows their abilities. In Watford's case, his refusal to lend a helping hand to the janitorial staff in the arena spoke volumes about his shifting attitude. While some players understand the importance of humility and camaraderie, Watford seemed to have embraced a sense of entitlement that set him apart from his teammates and ultimately sealed his fate. By turning his back on the janitorial staff, he missed out on a chance to be part of something bigger—a team that extends beyond the confines of the court. The willingness to perform even the most mundane tasks with humility and gratitude can foster unity and create a positive environment for everyone involved.

No longer able to overlook his inflated sense of self-importance, the organization made the difficult decision to release him, severing ties with the once-promising star. It serves as a cautionary tale for aspiring athletes—remember that success is a delicate balance of talent, hard work, and a genuine respect for others.

Ahhh now the move makes much more sense, thanks for the explanation!

Joe has something big up his sleeve!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Pretty sure they can sign Watford to a vet min contract later if nothing materializes. At this point they saved some money to use elsewhere but as said, can always circle back if he is available.

That will cost more money then keeping him on the roster...

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Greg Oden is un-retiring?

 

[HailBlazers]

You would think people that spend so much time on a forum would have basic reading comprehension, T-Wat =/ Twat.

Problem is, all they have to do is place a fake fire hydrant near the basket.

This is as close to a jlprk post as you've written so far! Not a bad attempt!

Not even close! Too long and boring. I miss jlprk’s posts. Where did they go?

He posted when Lanny passed away. I think he's in a science forum somewhere baffling guys with slide rules and crew cuts.

Memes are funny.

 

[tlongII]

I don't understand this move at all. I haven't read the all the posts in this thread so someone please enlighten me if you can. This is just bizarre.

 

[tlongII]

It seemed like he and Shaedon were tight too. Stupid move if it pisses off Sharpe.

Talent upgrade coming at his position..needed a roster spot...I think they chose Drew over Trendon when they had to pick a 3rd stringer

Sharpe's buddy on the team was GPII last season, if he was going to be pissed it's already happened.

If the only thing standing in the way of your nickname being a crass joke is one solitary hyphen, you really can't blame those making the joke.

And yes, I understand the irony coming from someone with my handle. I lean into it though.

He'd be playing behind Grant, Walker, and Kris. So, he's a 4th string PF. He was also 3rd string C. We have multiple backup C's we're looking at.

Before you, or anyone else, asks, Walker is a much better rebounder, and we REALLY need rebounding - that's why Walker is ahead of him.

Still confused of why we do this.

Drew is about to sign in Phoenix

I want to think that it's because of a bigger purpose......... but with this team, who even knows anymore.
