Free Agent Trendon Watford released

[Freshtown]

What are we cooking up?

 

[Natebishop3]

Wow

 

[SheedSoNasty]

WTF?????

 

[LayneStaley]

Wasn’t he on an extremely good contract? Must be penny pinching time.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He was developing into a solid rotational player.

I don’t get this - especially with how weak our PF/C depth is

 

[Strenuus]

Well this is fucking stupid.

 

[Hoopguru]

Obviously going with Murray....

 

[Sheldon Shape]

WOW. WTF? Isn't he a super cheap contract? I would have thought there was value to trade him.

 

[twobullz]

Why would the release trendon instead of walker?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

If that’s the case, Jody needs to sell yesterday

 

[Labinot41]

the fuck is going on ??

 

[theprunetang]

Hmmm. This one makes absolutely no sense to me. He will be picked up by another squad and will probably look good on a new team. I'm confused.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Untouchable!!

 

[Shaboid]

That's surprising. I like his upside and it seemed like he had some playmaking ability. Feels like there is another shoe to drop here?

walker is younger & chaeper

watford was developing nicely, but maybe they see talent in walker too

 

[Natebishop3]

Bums me out. I like Watford. I know he’s not starter material but he was entertaining.

 

[theprunetang]

At least we don't have to read the Blazers social media team call him T-Wat anymore. That is a win.

 

[PDXFonz]

Surely there is a reason

Makes me excited for FA rather than pessimistic about management.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Tick tock, motherfucker.

weird move.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

WTF his salary was $1.8 million. He was a great backup option over an 82 game season. We had to play scrubs like Reddish/Knox/G league guys/or worse last season and surely will have injuries or other issues at some point next season. He had one of the best dollar for dollar contracts on the team.

This Jody ownership era is total bullshit.

The team better sign Draymond for the full MLE or something where there is a huge payoff for this. If we just did this to duck the tax for the umpteenth time I'm going to be furious.

 

[LayneStaley]

Why would the release trendon instead of walker?

Didn’t Walker grow 5 inches?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

This better be part of something bigger. TWat had a bright (as in solid role player, which is important for teams) future, imo.

 

[Strenuus]

That's surprising. I like his upside and it seemed like he had some playmaking ability. Feels like there is another shoe to drop here?

Yeah this doesn't make sense unless we're bringing in someone who fills his role and then some. I liked him a lot for his upside. Something is about to happen. Or as Kevin Hart said: "It's about to go down".

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Summer League Champion, FAMS!

#neverforget

Isn’t Jabari the better rebounder?

 

[Propagandist]

Someone, anyone, please explain.

 

[Strenuus]

Bums me out. I like Watford. I know he’s not starter material but he was entertaining.

He will fit nicely as a 8th/9th guy on another team now. And god damn does every team need one of those. It's just like having that bullpen guy in baseball. They are so important.

 

[wizenheimer]

makes absolutely no sense to me....none at all. Geeeeezuzzz

 

[Strenuus]

This is bumming me out way more than it should, and I think it's just the surprise + confusion.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

They must be high on Murray and Walker to go this route. Or at least have something up their sleeve in the next day

Murray does not seem like a Watford replacement at all, to me. Walker, though I suppose could be if he made a huge leap this summer.
