not a chance. But I'd take Lucas over Buck and probably Buck over Sheed. For me personally, Sheed's fucking idiotic ref-baiting and T's became 100% toxic

and as I said, I'd take Kiki over Pippen. With Dame-Clyde-Walton the Blazers have enough playmaking and passing, but they would need the perimeter shooting of Kiki

Sheed was the worst Blazer ever. For real. See, Game 7, WCF. Throwing a towel in Sabonis' face, CTC, etc. and the resulting breakup of that amazing team. We've never been the same. He did more to do long-term damage to the franchise than 100 Raymond Feltons.

He bailed to be closer to his kids and for an organization thats been better than ours.

It was partially Neil's fault for not trading him for assets when he could.

Yeah, LaMarcus wouldn't commit to being here with the media. Neil should have traded him at the deadline for whatever the highest bid was.

Yang needs to be careful not to call out his teammates for not cutting to the basket, at least until he is a vet.. I realize he does not speak English so the only way to communicate on the court is with his hands. But player do not like to be shown up. Now, granted, when he did it last night it was harmless and the player will not be in the NBA. Nonetheless I saw how the Linsanity craze affected Jermey Lin. His teammates treated him like shit. I just want him to be careful because some NBA players can be assholes.

Disagree, I'm fine with him pointing this out. I expect all Blazers will be fine too. They'll see more than us the work he's putting in to communicate.

You have kids. Imagine what it would be like living halfway across the US from them most the time. I don't think it was an excuse. Another deciding factor.

Also, the Spurs had Kawhi and still had Parker, Manu and Duncan even if they were older. They seemed like a better situation to try to win. They won 67 games his first year there.

Super impressive that Aldridge was able to turn a 67 win team into a lottery cellar dweller when he was done.

He got Kawhi to give up and welcome being sold to Toronto.

Far from worst ever. Did he rape anyone? Did he punch his gf? Did he get caught with a gun?

worst blazer ever because he is uber competitive and blew up on Sabonis?

your definition and my definition of worst must be significantly different.

Worst ever because he was a choke artist at the highest level, set a terrible example, created a toxic culture that took years to fix, most technical fouls in a season ever, most career ejections of all time, was horrible to the media, horrible to fans, horrible to teammates.

Yeah, he sucked in every important way. BFD he could shoot. Everyone in the league can shoot.

except defense, and offense. Beside those things, he was terrible. If only those darn things didn't matter so much.

But never raped anyone(Maclemore) or beat his GF(Patterson). Are you saying what Sheed did was worse than these tow guys?
 
Nice comments on Yang

Yang Hansen impresses
The biggest surprise of the draft was the Portland Trail Blazers, who seemingly reached to take 7-foot-2 big man Hansen with the No. 16 pick a year after drafting 7-2 center Donovan Clingan in the lottery.

But in his first moments under the lights, his skill level impressed rival coaches and executives, particularly with his passing. He's going to be a project, but it didn't take long to see why Portland was interested in him. Some observers wondered how he will handle the pace in the NBA in the long term. But Hansen, who has said he's a fan of Nikola Jokic, is going to remain a subject of interest heading into next season, especially in seeing how quickly he can adapt to the league -- and how he and Clingan will coexist. -- Tim Bontemps"
 
The NBA world as a whole seems to be very hyped about this young man. Generally optimistic and hopeful for him. I’d say it bodes well, because some of these people are quick to hate on anybody.

I’m definitely feeling great about the potential future of this team.

I actually think it’s kind of sick that China might sell more Blazer jerseys than L*kers jerseys in the next few years. I’d love to see it. Queue the Chinese rappers wearing Hansen Yang jerseys.

Curious why you DON’T believe that? Curious whose opinion of LA you believed and why? You seem set in your opinion of him and that’s fine, just want to know what you heard and from who?
This is a perfect example of people talking about local media and who they like and don’t like. Whose opinion they trust and why? I know for DAMN sure over the years I’ve read things that flat out are wrong, yet reported. I’ve told the Jason Quick vs ME situation and what happened on the radio and how fucked up it was! Flat out lies sent out there for people on forums like this to soak up and believe. Just curious about your LA opinion.

Who could eat more donuts? 100 Raymond Felton’s, or 150 Rasheed Wallace’s?

Bro I saw Ray in NYC during the ECFs and he is even BIGGER than ever.

My opinion: Not Felton’s fault our FO brought him here, or that he wasn’t the GOAT. Basketball fans straight up bullied this guy. Wasn’t even just Blazer fans, was like it was the running joke about him around the league. Kind of makes you wonder how much he was actually putting in work when he was in the NBA compared to now.

When you say putting in work do you mean time at restaurants??? @THE HCP is saying Felton is the most obese he's ever been.

On another note the reason why we didn't like him when he was here and why he was derided by the entire basketball ecosystem is because the guy was never in shape and especially once he got here, played with no effort.

Sheed was best player in G7 WCF. Sabonis was the choke artist. Also- the reason Sheed threw a towel at Sabonis is because he flopped and elbowed Sheed in the head. Sheed is a top 5 Blazer all time.
