I don't know if anyone realizes this but Hasheem Thabeet is leading the NBA in FG% out 100% But Flynn and Thabeet rarely saw action for the Rockets this year, and there was talk that the Rockets were going to simply waive Thabeet. What is the deal with these two? They were very high picks just a couple of years ago, and I thought Flynn looked good his rookie year. I hope the Blazers give these two a serious chance to audition for a new contract next year.
Here's a write-up on Thabeet: http://www.thedreamshake.com/2011/3/7/2035117/is-hasheen-thabeet-salvageable He's just real lazy and doesn't have the drive or motivation to want to be a real good NBA player. Seems to have the talent, but no drive.
I don't know, but I'd still like to see Flynn. Give him some real minutes and see what he can do. If he sucks, oh well...
Being lazy and Coach Canales won't jive! Kaleb is probably one of the most active busy body person I've ever met. The guy even hustles when we are getting our bags off the bus!
I'm sure all of the guys on the team are going to be listening to a head coach who makes $40/hour. Canales will be the "coach" in name only. How anybody can see today as a positive is a sure sign that the person is delusional.
We're all going to be throwing a pity party over the next 4 years. How long until LMA forces his way out of this mess? Do you think he wants to rebuild during the prime of his career? There isn't a single FA that would seriously consider this fiasco of a franchise this summer who can make this team a title contender in even 3 years. If I'm LMA's agent, I'm figuring out how to get LMA the fuck out of this place.
Did you not watch the last month of basketball? The Blazers had quit on McMillian and there was nothing he could do. I have NEVER watched a blazer team with worse demeanor then the stretch of 20 games i'v had to sit threw. We needed a coaching change, hell I would have taken Larry Miller over McMillian at this point, at least maybe he could motivate the guys to at least hustle.
We are a Fiasco of a franchise? Please explain how a franchise decimated by injuries the last 2 years and made the playoffs every year when we were counted out by the trade deadline is a Fiasco?
Where do you keep getting these four and five year stretches? The team was complete shit from 2004 until 2007, and they almost made the playoffs with Roy and Aldridge as rookies. It's not going to take five years to get this team back on its feet. In fact, I really would be surprised if we pick up a couple big free agents this summer and are right back in the hunt next season. Why don't you wait until after the offseason to give a prognosis?
No GM and Caleb Kanales is the coach, because I assume he's the only Yes Man left with a reason to stay. Are you fucking serious? Also, I'm calling my shot right now. There is no way LMA wants to spend his prime years with this shitbag as his owner. Paul Allen is going to put the team up for sale. That's the only thing about today that makes any sense to me.
I think your wrong on both accounts. This team won't be for sale by the end of next season and LMA will not have asked for a trade. Heck i'm so confidant i'd even place a wager but can't really do that over a message board.
I look of it more as a retool than a rebuild. We didn't trade away any of our players that are worth a damn. Gerald Wallace is 29 going on 40. Camby has got so lazy at defense he just stands there and swipes at shots. Two lottery picks in this years draft can bring us immediate talent. Another solid veteran piece and were back in the runnings.
