Portland Signs Georgios Papagiannis to a 10-Day Contract

[BonesJones]

You guys have been wanting a Giannis... Olshey says "Here ya go!"

Portland now has the 13th pick from the 2016 Draft (Papagiannis), and the 17th pick (Baldwin).

 

[BonesJones]

This dude makes Meyers Leonard look fast. I kinda called it.

 

[Cippy91]

You get a 10 day contract...and you get a 10 day contract!

 

[ripcityboy]

What? Even the Ducks weren't 100 per cent about recruiting this guy. He's got the agility of a walrus on stilts.

[noknobs]

Did Paul Allen lose a bet?

Just wait till we get to Sebastian Telfair.

Nurk vs. Papagiannis would be fun to watch in practice though. Maybe PA is attending practices and wanted some entertainment. I would've signed him for the lolz too.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Why a center?

Just bring back Ha for some epic stick fights.

This is where Calabro will shine...he can say Papagiannis....reminds me of PapaG

Why a center?

Nurk needs somebody at practice that's not Meyers Leonard....sparring partner

 

[BonesJones]

So, if all our bigs get into foul trouble like they did last night, would you guys wanna see Meyers or Georgios play?

Unfortunately, still Meyers....

 

[BonesJones]

Nah, he'd mess up our 3rd youngest team narrative. Better sign Papagiannis so we can claim that we're the 2nd youngest team!

Me and Olshey are of the same mind.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why in the name of Sam Fuck

 

[Chris Craig]

So Rush is gone

Or Calabro can say: Better Ingredients, Better Pizza, Papagiannis

Gotta meet the league min of 14 on the roster (2-way contracts don't count). Trading Vonleh put us at 13. So, look for a revolving door of guys on 10-day contracts going forward. These will all be prorated min contracts that will keep us just under the tax threshold.

BNM

"If Papagiannis scores one basket with 4:25 minutes left in any quarter ever, you all get free pizza for life".

 

[StumptownHoliday]

We got Giannis' daddy!!

 

[Boob-No-More]

Why a center?

So they can move Meyers to small forward where he'll get more minutes to take advantage of the team leading swish3 shooter to make about 6 additional 3 point shots. This adjustment can help the Blazers toward the 112 points/game that would likely mean wins. It does not make sense to me to leave this talent on the bench.

Why not just sign Rush to another 10 days

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Why not just sign Rush to another 10 days

Papa was a lottery pick two years ago, and rush was drafted in 1754 and is, by all evidence, 97% broken.

The blazers might as well just sign members of S2 to 10 day contracts. It'd be a dream.

And some of us are just delusional enough to think we deserve them too.

Well its not like papgiannis is gonna play. Rush didn't. Why can't it be us sitting on the bench?

 

[Gronk Brady]

This is a great signing. No risk with possible high reward. Papagiannis is 7’2”, can really shoot the ball, and is only 20 years old.
