WTF? Hawes to Clips for 4 yrs/23 mil?

[PDXFonz]

For us fans this'll make it an even more interesting matchup. Crawford lobbied for the Clippers to sign him while playing for the Blazers. Olshey was clippers gm. Hawes is from NW but picked clippers over us for identical contract while he was our #1 target. Hawes will play backup minutes against long time clippers center Kaman.

Didn't think of all of those! Good thinking man, should be great story lines when we play them.

Blake Griffin ‏@blakegriffin32

Oh this is awkward... RT @spencerhawes00: Hey @blakegriffin32 you know 32 is my number you wanna arm wrestle for it or something?

I know he's joking but I don't like that move by him, he should step in and switch his number no questions asked as to show his new team he knows where his place is.

Could be bad for chemistry...

Hawes starts with each new team, searching for Democratic teammates to argue with. So it doesn't surprise me that he starts with the Clippers in wrestling mode with his rival teammate.

He's obnoxious and bad for team chemistry.

I hope Kaman schools Hawes next season and we sweep the Clippers

Wouldn't that be cool. Blake laughs it off but thinks who is this guy. Then Hawes comes into the locker room challenging all democrats. I don't see Blake having strong opinions but maybe someone like CP3 or a Crawford has opinions on politics and Hawes jumps all over one of them with radio talk language that pisses off a teammate. At that point Blake was just itching to get into it with Hawes . . .

Far fetched I know . . . but fun to think about. Politics brings out a lot of strong emotions out some.

I have to admit I don't really care about losing out on Hawes.

At the point someone like Deng has to settle for the MLE while the Blazers can only watch and weep - then I will want to punch Olshey in the ovaries.

We shouldn't give a shit about Hawes honestly

Not a big deal to me

Oh please he would have fit great on this team. Paul just doesn't want to give up on Leonard yet. Remember that word Potential might creep up on us again.

That ain't it. The General Manager didn't deliver. It's simple as that BG.

First time I've heard that Leonard is a Paul Allen favorite. Olshey's reputation is staked upon his draft choices, but he wants to dump Leonard, but Allen is overruling him.

Hmm.

Fuck! BGD is back.

I'm not so sure he schools Hawes but I do believe Kaman is a better choice for the Blazers. Kaman is more of a banger and plays a bit more inside. Not to mention Kaman is better suited for a bench role.
