    Don’t think this is about money. At least it better not be.

    there have been like no egregious contracts so far. Everything has been mostly reasonable.

    Jerami Grant getting 9 per for three years is probably the worst one. And Phoenix splurging on Ariza, but his 15 is only for a year

    We better be getting rid of 3 avg players and acquiring one really good player. If this is solely cost cutting then fuck PA.

    I’d understand dumping Davis for Beasley. The second unit would get more dynamic, and Beasley fits next to Nurk better than Davis so it gives Stotts more options late in games.

    I have a feeling that Ed wanted out, being in the east coast and possibly starting can pad his stats. If he signed with us, he is going to be a reserve for the rest of his career. This seems like a strategic move by only signing for 1 year and hopefully getting his last big contract of his career

    I bet you he wanted out and want to try one last time to be a starter and make starter money on one last contract. Neil might not have anything to do with it

    Would Blazer fans wanted him for that? I am guessing we would be seeing a lot of No Defense comments. Pop doesn't care. He gets them all to play D.

    I dunno. Sounded like Ed liked it here and was comfortable in his role, but he’s not one to complain, either.

    I agree. If they wanted him back they would have paid him. He obviously was not a priority. The fact that no one else was hot after him is a little confusing to me.

    Looked pretty happy watching Dame hit those game winning 3s all season. I think the blazers know they can’t compete for a title with this roster so why pay the tax, it is a business afterall.

    Confusing lateral move imminent.

    There better be a trade that makes sense for this flop.

    Appreciated Ed, but it was time to move on.

    Will allow Zach to play inside more and I think Biggie deserves a shot.
