According to Quick Festus is looking to get paid $20mill a year.

Blazers will dump Harkless to sign him if he passes his physical.

 

[TBpup]

So Keanon Lowe helped break the story...cool.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

*Ezeli

If he becomes a Blazer I'll fix it. Right now he's still a Warrior so fuck it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I would rather keep Hark and Meyers instead of signing Festus.

 

[Schilly]

Ohh mani don't want to lose Hark!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Yesteryear he'd be an MLE guy.

He'll get $17m+/per

Przybilla would be a max guy today.

 

[chzbrgr]

drop hark? fuckin quick dont know shit

"Why is this homeless looking white dude bothering me?"

Technically, he's not

 

[drexlersdad]

What in the actual fuck.

 

[TBpup]

What a MASSIVE overpay if that is what it takes but I guess that is today's NBA and what it takes to get someone to Portland. A center with questionable knees.....haven't we been down this road before?

 

[chzbrgr]

for all the time quick must spend in the gyms he cant ever seem to get in a workout

 

[BonesJones]

Our defense would be much improved with Turner, Aminu, and Ezeli starting in the frontcourt.

"looking to get paid" and reality are two different things - got that Neil?

He shouldn't get $20M. $15M max... I'd rather trade Davis for a 1st Round Pick than dump Harkless. Harkless has more potential than Davis and we'd get a first round pick out of it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I like him a lot, but I also like Harkless a lot. And Uncle Festus does seem to be injured a lot.

I guess Layman is going to make Harkless redundant anyway...

Poor Moe - made the fatal mistake of making friends with Lillard.

 

[Pinwheel1]

You guys really think he is an elite defender when healthy? Are there stats that back that up? He never really stood out to me.
What are his strengths and weaknesses?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

I'm ok with all of this provided it doesnt cost us Moe. PLEASE PLEASE NO

 

[Mediocre Man]

According to Quick Festus is looking to get paid $20mill a year.

Blazers will dump Harkless to sign him if he passes his physical.

So they will dump a young high potential guy in Harkless to sign a guy who has played less than 100 games in the last 3 years? Fuck

 

[BonesJones]

I don't think Quick knows how the Blazers front office would make room to sign him. I think he knows what's happening with Ezeli and then is grabbing at straws for how the Blazers would get it done. Lets wait and see before crucifying Olshey.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This big worry is he played 14mins a game last year, 11 mins a game the year before and he has bad knees.

Do you risk bad knees on double the minutes?

For $18-20mill a year?

I would run... run far away from that deal.

 

[BonesJones]

I dig that Ezeli's wearing a red and black polo though.

 

[riverman]

I think they know Mo is going to get a ridiculous offer that we won't match anyway...Lakers have the hots for him and he was holding that Hire Me sign with his agent ...just hope Ezeli is fully robocopped back into a functioning human again...maybe the Warriors fixed him

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Quick knows jack shit; he got a tip that an NBA player was going to arrive and turned it into The Decision. He ruins everything.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yup.
