Around the NBA: February 2019 edition!

How come I can't see this month?

Cause it's a short month

 

[TBpup]

We need something because it feels like the Blazers don't play again till March.

This is the month Jake puts up 3o+ in a game. He's due for another big game!

He'll need more shots. He has only gone over 10 shots four times this season. In those games he was 35-53....a smoking .660 shooting percentage and he shot .500 from 3-pt range. And yet he still didn't get more shots.

One notion that is going through my brain is that the Blazers don't want to feature him to much because they don't want a restricted offer for his contract going to high. I guess it is probably far fetched, but it wouldn't explain how they are using him. Either that or Terry has the same tendencies we all know and love him for!

It's still January last I checked!

Like Crabbe, Layman is catch and shoot. When you depend on someone else to create your shot, you'll always get limited opportunities. At 6-9, he probably can't improve his dribbling much. The plateau we see is the ceiling we'll ever get.

I wonder if there's any chance coaches deny AD a spot in all star

If the Blazers are done playing in January, then January is OVAH as far as I'm concerned.

Everything Dolan touches turns to shit.

Have you seen Jusuf Nurkic, Evan Turner and a pick to Memphis for Marc Gasal and Garrett Temple yet?

Begs the question.
How much will be "Too Much" for Jake Layman?

 

[ripcityboy]

Well. My guess is Olshey has got a memo from the Vulcans sporting an exact overall payroll number. And he has to make sure Jake's available for that limit. Losing a player of Jake's quality this far into a rebuild would be something he might not get another chance to make up.

 

[LayneStaley]

Have you seen Jusuf Nurkic, Evan Turner and a pick to Memphis for Marc Gasal and Garrett Temple yet?

Nope, Memphis has a team?

 

[TBpup]

Who would that be for? Porzingis to DAL?

 

[trailblazer18]

Wow, that's a big trade!

 

[trailblazer18]

Porzingas complains and gets traded within a few hours.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

If this happens that would make it harder for the KNicks to trade for AD more then likely or maybe more likely but hard to tell until we see what is being traded but my guess :

Wes , Dennis Smith , another player mainly for the contract to fill in salaries and a 1st

They can only trade those guys individually now for the rest of the season.

Doncic and Porzingis is a heck of a start towards a contender for the Mavs.

 

[Sarni]

Doncic and Porzingis is a heck of a start towards a contender for the Mavs.

It is a super exciting core and they should be a perfect match for each other.

 

[illmatic99]

Risk worth taking with what they gave up. Solid work by Nelson/Cuban

Could already be better than the Blazers.

 

[hoopsjock]

Comments like this are dumb. Just like the Suns and Twolves have passed us too, right?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Could already be better than the Blazers.

I guess we will find that out in 11 days

 

[e_blazer]

Could already be better than the Blazers.

No.

Just plain no.

 

[Reep]

Did NY really screw themselves in this deal? Exactly what two max free agents are going to sign with that train wreck of a team?
