So in your world, we kept Zach for 3 more years, with I guess Aldridge coming off the bench (?), all so it would make for a slightly more attractive deal for Chris Paul today? Dude, you seem a bit crazy. I like that, but still, it's a bit crazy.
Yes. well...ZBO off the bench. It was actually keep ZBO an EXTRA YEAR since Imaginary Cap Space was only utilized LAST SUMMER. with Oden hurt, LMA would have been playing more C or with a dual PF lineup. what, Aldridge wouldn't have been able to develop an awesome low post game and develop into an agressive rebounder?? We'd actually have a backup PF (albeit expensive one)? We'd get knocked out of the playoffs in the first round?
So, your entire 3 year Zach theory makes Alrdridge and elite low-post player? As I said, you're crazy, but I like it.
I care what my fellow Blazers fans think. I don't care what a comedy writer who is NOT a Blazers fan thinks. Ed O.
I'm guessing Chad Ford knows more about the Blazers right now than you or me. If your shot was at Simmons, I don't think he's a comedy writer.
Plus there is a pretty good chance that Joel won't play next year which would make his whole contract paid by Insurance instead of the team. That and Z-Bo is a fucking pile of shit.
the fact that he didn't play in the last half of last season, and re-tore his patella tendon again. If his team "doesn't think he's ready to play" (like Raef) and doesn't play him in 41 games, insurance pays for 80% of his salary. Like Raef. Who was sitting on a farm in Iowa.
is there any evidence to support this or is it a "if it happened to Raef, its got to apply to Joel" type of thing?
do you have any evidence saying that Joel Przybilla is one of the twelve (out of 450) athletes in the NBA who isn't protected by the Temporary Total Disability insurance the NBA has? Here's a sampling from McGrady's story from last year.
Nice research. I'd say since Joel didn't have any unusual injury history before last year, it is highly unlikely he'd be singled out as an exception. barfo
