Around the NBA- February 2018

We seem to be at this position where we end up shunning anyone that has or may have had personality issues in the past.

I understand the thought, but if Neil really believed in Stotts and the culture we've built in Portland, we should be able to take some of these players and integrate them into our system without triggering their negative personality traits.

One player I'd like to see us go after right now....Terrence Jones. He has had issues with his attitude in the past but when he's played, he's always been productive. Sign him to a 10-day and see how he does. Super low risk high reward type of move.

 

It's Paul Allen's fear of Canzano and the moralists on this board.

Thunder rumored to be interested in Avery Bradley, if this was posted somewhere oops.

I really hope this doesn’t happen.

 

Why not just do this trade and lock up Bradley? Helps them now, while PG is still on the team.

 

Why does LAC do that?

 

I’d take Roberson for 3 more years at 9 mil per! Bradley is gonna get more than that in fa. They are both known primarily for their D so I’m not real sure paying more for Bradley in the long run is the best move if u could just have Roberson locked up cheap.

 

Roberson seems like a move that a contender wants not a rebuilding team. Roberson is one hell of a defender but his offense is worse then Tony Allens. I guess I can see this move if LAC moves him next year.

 

Bradley is the much better player though. You don't give up the much better player just to secure a mediocre player coming off a serious knee injury.

 

You do if you don’t want to be in a bidding war for a player you really don’t need at the beginning of a rebuild, and getting a lockdown wing defender locked up for 3 years at only 9 mil isn’t bad.

 

If the Clippers are rebuilding, why would they put any value in Roberson? They could get a pick for Bradley, and that's a better return than Roberson. I think they're going to attempt to build around Harris and Bradley. Both are still 25/26.

 

If the pistons didn’t wanna build around those 2 why would the clippers?

I can’t think of a team who will give up a 1st round pick for a 3 month rental. As far as Roberson, even if they are rebuilding, at 9 mil a year what’s wrong with that? They still gotta suit up players and he’s s good wing defender on a cheap contract.

 

With a fucked up knee.

 

Roy got a max with bone on bone, teams take chances.

 

Looks like he’ll be fine to me

 

And how did that Roy bone on bone turn out?

 

You guys see the cavs last night? I think LeBron is gone for sure after this season. They are playing so bad and lebron seems over it

 

Yeah, the dude on a stretcher sure does look like a serviceable player.

 

Not a lot of people pick up on sarcasm around here do they

 

People on this forum have become dependent upon green font to pick up sarcasm.
