Yes, that's right. I understand that Tracy McGrady and Manu Ginobili had all-NBA years and the Spurs are locks to win the title. He's a shoot-first PG with limited passing skills and (prior to this year) very little interest in playing defense who has bounced around several teams sorely in need of good PG play who have nonetheless let him go. He is in the absolute PERFECT position to look good.
you're acting like mo williams hasn't been a good player the past couple of years. mo williams is in a great situation for him. playing next to lebron would be great for anyone. that doesn't change that mo williams has shown that he's a good player without lebron. bounced around several teams? the cavs are the 3rd team he's played on. he was a 2nd round pick for the jazz and played a year. then he went to the bucks who then resigned him to a big deal when he was a free agent because they wanted to keep him. the cavs were able to trade for him because the bucks needed to save money and weren't winning. not exactly "bouncing around". yes, he is in the perfect position for him. but he already looked good before he got there. his final season with the bucks he put up 17 and 6 with very good shooting percentages.
That's an awful lot of "maybes," "what ifs," and wrangling for just the hope that Memphis is stupid enough to draft Thabeet. We get it, you're in love with Rubio (and yes he does look like he's going to be a pretty good player) but I think you're starting to stretch the limits of what is reasonable, possible and even advisable for this team's off-season strategy to improve its point guard position.
I'm not feeling it. So who besides Brandon has the ability to create their own shot on this roster? It sure would be nice to have at least one other guard or wing that can get dribble penetration and/or get his own shot if we're shipping Travis out of town. This is a fairly substantial step backwards in my opinion offensively and defensively. Furthermore I'd give it a year to see if Greg can stay healthy for a full season before we ship Joel off to purgatory. ps. You actually want Nocioni? Fuck I hate that flopping bitch.
I don't like it at all. Let's face it, Greg hasn't been the healthiest guy in the world and if he goes out for any period of time like he did this year, that leaves us with a starting 5 of: C-LMA PF- Nocioni? McDyess? Seriously? SF-Batum SG-Roy PG-Blake/Rubio I'd say that's less a than intimidating front line.
He was only on 2 teams prior to being on the cavs. Including 4 years on the bucks, where his stats and play steadily increased. You obviously just don't know what you are talking about. Half of his stats improved slightly with the Cavs and half were better on the Bucks due to him having the ball more. So if you are trying to say he didn't look good before he was with LeBron, that is just flat out wrong.
Oh, so you don't need a point guard? kthx I was under the impression that Portland was looking for one.
Portland does need one. It just doesn't NEED to be Conley. In fact I think a veteran with playoff experience would be much better than Conley. But I do like how you were wrong in saying you didn't say we needed one and then turned right around and tried to argue something else.
Deleted. Portlands needs a point guard. I said that. If you lookey lookey at my original post, I never specified anyone. You need a point guard. Conley is a point guard. Conley is available. Portland could use Conley. You don't want Conley because you loathe Memphis so much for beating you fair and square. The great thing is, this isn't even the main point I was making with my post, I was actually mocking you and every other simple-twit that has their panties wadded up over Darius Miles and the Grizzlies, as if you guys are actually entitled to that cap space and above the principle of shitty luck. All caught up?
I'm not a mod. Fail. If a non-Blazer fan pointing out the idiocy behind someone else's thoughts is trolling, well whatever helps you sleep at night. Oh yeah, nice to see 'slow' edited in my post when its been allowed to fly countless times in the past. Nice one Ed.
I don't think you are caught up. You are dogging on fans for hating on Memphis and then sarcastically responeded to a fuck Memphis post with: Yeah, screw the point guard that we need so much!! Memphis meanies... So unless you are talking about some other Memphis PG, you are saying the Blazer need Conley. But now you are backing off (realizing that was a stupid comment) and now saying Portland could use Conley. It's one thing to back peddle off of something you said . . . it's another thing to call a poster slow when all he is doing is trying to decifier what the hell you are saying. Please explain: Yeah, screw the point guard that we need so much!! Memphis meanies meaning anything other than saying Blazers need Conley so much.
it could easily be explained that he meant that portland needs a pg and they would be dumb to dismiss memphis as an option just because of the miles situation when memphis has a pg that it has been rumored in the past that portland was interested in.
Not entirely. I think I may have posted while you were responding, so read that, and I'll clear it up further if it is necessary. I'm not backpedaling, I'm teaching. Decifier? What the fuck is that, a WWE move? Already did, but I have a funny feeling you won't entirely grasp it.
Did you get fired? Good job admins! Actually, no. I call it trolling when a non-Blazers fan comes to the Blazers board and says something stupid, like: "I was actually mocking you and every other simple-twit that has their panties wadded up over Darius Miles and the Grizzlies, as if you guys are actually entitled to that cap space and above the principle of shitty luck." ED O is Da Man!
OK but he said Blazers would be screwing themseves by not dealing with Memphis because they have a PG the Blazers need so much. Doesn't that say that in his opinion, the Blazers need Conley so much? At the very least could you understand why MM would think that is what he said (because he said it . . . maybe poorly worded and not what he meant, but he said it) . . . and then JE jumps all over him for being slow . . . when in reality JE doesn't know how to express himself.
