    Im really hoping Joel has fully recovered from his injuries and will be ready to play next year. What are the chances that we see him in a Blazers uniform next season? We sure could use his rebounding and toughness.

    I love the love for Joel and all, but that would be money poorly spent IMO

    I would love to see Joel back in a Blazer uniform . . . but more in a 12th man role.

    What other FAs are obtainable? I would love to sign Carl Landry with the MLE, but i dont see that happening.

    I dont know how realistic it is that he has fully recovered, or if he ever will. Joel at 80% is better than Earl Barron.

    7 footers of even marginal utility don't make the veteran's minimum unless they are over the age of 35 ... Joel is going to be out of our price range I suspect.

    I suspect your right, but that's what Paul Allen is for. I also suspect that perhaps Joel only wants to come back as a Blazer, if not retire. So that might give us some leeway on what we would pay him. :dunno:

    Noelle has a desire to be closer to her home, so I'm not sure it's Portland or bust for Joel.

    And it's not whether PA could afford Joel, it;s whether overpaying him is smart basketball when we are in big need of other players

    I thought this thread was about the POSTER from Hillsborro who is a 19 year old virgin living with his mommy!
