    And the average age of our team goes ^.

    But hey, if he's can still rebound and play defense, more power to him. Welcome to the Blazers.

    No Wallace would start at pf and batum at sf.

    Thomas would be first big off bench

    That lineup is among the best in the league.

    It depends on how much they're paying, of course, but it is generally ridiculous to offer a 39 year-old guy a two year deal.

    A guy with PERs of 9.9 and 10.0 the last two years? Even worse.

    Of course, if/when he gets hurt (as older players so often do) it would be a blessing in disguise to get his inefficient minutes replaced with someone who might actually be able to contribute to the present AND to the future.

    Sheesh.

    I'm not saying he won't be a good player for us...I actually kind of like the move. But it's more a lament over Oden and LMA and Roy. :dunno:

    This is what our team was lacking.

    I will take it. Hoping it is for the vet min to preserve cap space.

    Felton offense should help and I'm sure his defense can't be worse then miller

    Why the fuck is this guy getting two years? Portland has an opportunity to have significant cap space next season and uses some of it on Kurt fucking Thomas?

    This is a very solid signing. Compared with $10M a year for DeAndre Jordan (the Clippers matched! Now they're still stupid but they spend money!), it's fucking genius. Yes he's old, and yes his PER isn't great, but the Bulls won like crazy with him and he's a great team player. Plus he's got those psycho eyes.

    Is he going to help us win a title? If not it's a bad signing if it takes a cent from next years cap space
