He's being paid $1 million, which is nothing in NBA terms. You think they would have done better by letting him walk? They could at least trade him for a 2nd rounder.....
I definitely don't agree with your basketball positions, that's for sure. I consider that to be a good thing.
You just don't get it. Nate and KP can't bake the cake with Steve running around the kitchen pulling on their apron strings!
They could, they didn't, they won't. They dumped JJ instead. He's a major part of the Blazers Dynasty to come. Learn to love him.
They didn't because it would have been stupid on every level. Even if Sergio looked like the worst player on the planet, they still could have gotten a future second because some team would have rolled the dice on his "potential." (Not that he has any, anymore) This major part of the Blazers Dynasty got beat out for the backup PG position today and couldn't even get garbage minutes until about 3 minutes left.... Yeah....Dynasty point guard......
Part of a dynasty? Funniest quote of 2009 so far. Sergio will be a bit part in a trade before the deadline or this summer. Nate is obviously done with him as are most of the fans. He's become a liability on both offense and defense.
Or KP's. "What I like best about Sergio is the fact that he's a gamer," said Pritchard. "Against probably the best team in the world, Argentina, Sergio came in and changed the whole game. I just didn't understand in the next game why he didn't even come into the game until the third quarter. But, the kid has confidence. In this league if you have confidence and ability, then you have a chance at success. He's a great kid as well, and I'm even more confident now that he's going to help us, perhaps immediately." "Sergio is the real deal," adds Pritchard, himself a star point guard at the University of Kansas. "I understand point guards. They can't fool me. Other players may be able to fool me, but point guards can't. We expect big things from Sergio," he added. "We like Sergio, and we are not in any discussions,'' Pritchard said. "We want to see this team, and we want to see this team grow. It's awfully early to be even talking about this stuff.''
On a team that's willing to sleazily attempt to prevent a player from continuing his career just so they can save some cap space, I'd say $1,000,000 is a significant sum.
Just got back from watching the game on DVR...what an utter failure from top to bottom on the squad tonight. The effort was only present for 1 quarter. What was up with Nates rotation? I couldn't believe that with Greg Oden not in foul trouble, and the run they made in the 3rd, that Greg was not back in there after Pryzillba in the 4th quarter. They went with Frye, and for way too long. Secondly, the whole second half we had to listen to the announcers just make excuse after excuse for the team, like they had to apologize for them for some reason. There is no reason to make excuses. The team blew tonight. Then they followed it up by making it a Steve Blake dick sucking contest for the whole 4th quarter, talking about how much the team misses him now. How much they will miss him if he misses games. I have news for you. Steve Blake was in when the Blazers played like shit in the 1st quarter, and he was a huge part of it. Outlaw-I gave him props last game for a good performance. Now you see what happens when he isn't scoring..nothing. If Travis isn't scoring, he isn't bringing anything else to the game. That is why he drives me crazy.
What's a gm going to do, talk bad about his player? Give me a break. For all we know that talk could have been part of showcasing him to other teams.
I'd say the difference between the two is quite substantial. We are talking about a good chunk of millions regarding Miles, instead of 1 million for Sergio. But I'm not going to hold my breathe that you will understand that.
I hope they start Sergio tomorrow and keep him in for 30+ minutes just so Maris will stfu about him I like you maris, so no offense.
Nate doesn't like Sergio. KP likes Sergio very much. KP got us Sergio. Pash Natterson got us Nate. Sergio will be here long after Nate is gone, which may be soon if he doesn't play Sergio more.
Well if Sergio does start tomorrow he better wrap his ankles really well. He would be starting against Devin Harris.
sergio sucks. just trade him so he can flourish on a team that plays up tempo and no defense. he isnt a pg for a championship team
