Nice one on one with Thabeet on Blazer tv

He said he wants to earn our fan support and work hard with this new opportunity. <--- If this is true than the sky is the limit.

 

Johnny Flynn talking now

 

Man I love Johnny Flynn. He is well spoken and explains things very well. I'm rooting for him!

 

Cool Dude no doubt.

Said he's been waiting for a chance, and will continue to be patient. Looks up to Chuancey Billups.

 

Both very high picks for a reason. They have talent, but they need to be in the right situation, and work their asses off to achieve success. Hopefully they can do it here. If not, Oh well?

 

Dude I really really like him!

 

Seriously if they actually play to their potential, would the Camby deal be the most lop sided deal of the century?

 

I doubt they will because it's been a fair amount of time that they have been in the league, but it's a good trade either way

 

Well for Flynn, he did very well his rookie year, then got hit with that injury. And this season, Landry sucked up all available minutes at PG; so no wonder he didn't get more burn. There is still a chance for him. Also, Thabeet was buried on the bench as well. Scola is playing out of his mind. Same with Dalembert

 

I don't see where Flynn is going to get time at PG though... in a dream world, they'd bench Felton and play Nolan and Flynn to see what they got.. but realistically, they're not going to do that. I love what Nolan has brought the past two games, and hopefully Kaleb can work his magic with Flynn, get him some PT and put him in situations where he can succeed.

Thabeet.. bleh. If he could succeed though, that'd be awesome to add a young 7-footer into the mix.

 

Lay off the Red-Bull man.

 

The injury to E Will really helps Flynn. I think 10-15 minutes isn't asking for too much.

I think Thabeet has more of an opportunity to earn playing time with Pryzbilla and Thomas being soo old.

 

LOL sorry man! The "I like him" comment was just in response to how Flynn presented himself. He was well spoken.

 

DANG Thabeet is insanely tall!

 

You forgot to add "insanely terrible at basketball."

Thanks for the WARM Welcome Blazers Fans.. Now let's Gooooooo #Blazermania..

 

I like Flynn, always have. He just turned 23, and had a solid rookie year. I think people are overlooking him. Anyone who has had hip surgery (whether your 20 or 40 or 70) knows how painful it is. I had a minor hip injury a few years ago (and I'm only 29), and it was painful and took a long time to recover. You're always moving your hips, whether your sitting, standing, walking, running, jumping. Hell, even as you sleep, hip support is important. I wouldn't sleep on this guy - I still think he could be a quality NBA player.

He seems like the perfect Blazer ... we definitely need a guy with a hip replacement after the Greg Oden era.
