This is the first time I really felt bad for Blake and especially Outlaw. Damn this shit hurts, Travis was the only Blazer from the shit era.
You know what kind of weather they have down there? It's awesome! Please feel sorry for me and let me live near San Diego with Millions of dollars. It's really killing Travis, though, because he can't be "cheap" down there. It's sad, but they'll get over it....and quickly. They have to accept that their "games" weren't part of the big picture.
How depressing to watch. As much grief as those guys got, they'll always be Blazers to me. I'm sure living in LA for the next few months might have its perks, but they're going to hate playing for the Clips. Gawd, that was sad.
You couldn't pay me enough to live in LA. What a shithole. I lived there when I was a kid and thank my lucky stars the day my parents decided to move to Portland.
You know if your not strong enough to deal with this, then you aren't strong enough mentally to be in the league. Get over it, move on. It's not like they won't be free agents at the end of the year and can go wherever or to whoever is interested in them.
Ugh, that sucks. Bad things happen to good guys. I liked them both, I hope for nothing but the best for them. Hopefully they don't have to play for the Clippers for long, they deserve better.
I don't find it surprising they may have been down a bit after the trade. Going from what is universally known as a great locker room to the Clippers has to be a letdown, especially considering it's likely only for a few months. It's not like Blake and Outlaw are the first to ever be initially disappointed after a trade. I'm sure they'll both get over it, and I'm sure that both are strong enough mentally to play in the league. [video=youtube;o4nE58aXXjU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4nE58aXXjU[/video]
They should have played better. I also give it a 75% chance that both are back next season because KP doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings
I don't Usually find you funny but that one is a zinger! I think Travis will look good in a Clippers Jersey and will shine in a new/different scenario
You don't live in LA. You live in San Diego when you've got that much money. You can stay at a hotel nearby for practices or games if you don't feel like making the drive. LA sucks, for sure.
Roy Bayless Miller Rudy Mills Batum Webster Cunningham Pendergraph Aldridge Oden Przybilla That's only 12 by my count Are Cunningham, Pendergraph and Mills signed through next season? If not, that's only 9 guaranteed contracts next year. Joel could, but probably won't now, opt out as well.
It hurts because these players genuinely liked playing on the Blazers and being in Ptd. Unlike Sheed, Bonzi and even players like Strickland . . . I never felt like they cared much for the city of Ptd or the fans. Blake loved Ptd and I thought represented the city well. Same for Travis. It''s rare I get sad for players in the NBA, but this is one of those times.
Dante and Jeff have a contract for next year. I think Patty is a team option, but I am not certain about it.
