So here is a twist, let me defend the Kaman trade (Strictly on a contract basis) . . . giving Kaman a 2 yr deal with a buyout is even better than a one yr deal referred to in this thread. I'm not close to an expert on salary cap, but can't the Blazers trade his 5 mil dollar contract at the end of the yr giving another team the ability to buy him out for 1 million and that team clears salary space while we package Kaman and others for a disgruntled star (Hibbert) in return. Then Blazers resign Aldrdige . . . along with Lillard, Batum and packaged star= a big 4!
Nah, it's not a trolling thread. There are some interesting conversations going on in it. I was just messin around.
Buchanan landed on Lillard, who was the reason 1a we got into the playoffs in the first place, and the main reason we got out of the first round.
Classic. Only 100% sniffing of the Blazers jock threads are considered acceptable threads in the eyes of some people. Lillard needs to work on his defense....TROLL!!!!!! Matthews needs to work on his off the dribble game....TROLL!!!!!! Batum needs to work on his handles....TROLL!!!!! Aldridge needs to play in the block a bit more....TROLL!!!!!! Lopez has bad hair....TROLL!!!!!! T-Rob plays too fast around the rim....TROLL!!!!!! Meyers looks like a Ken doll....TROLL!!!!!! Will Barton needs to play under control more and he could be great....TROLL!!!!! Well I agree on the great part, but the other part is garbage Stotts had steak for dinner....TROLL!!!!!! I like seafood Jesus
every time they were lined up to start spending big, boom, career ending injury if roy and and oden were still around, and the blazers were a contender, the payroll would be around 100MM
I remember the whole "the model is broken" and PA was going to put a stop to spending cash just to spend it. What I like about PA is he wants to win so bad he will spend it again when it's time. For the past 10 yrs this team has been rebuilding (which is why I hate the idea of trading LA for draft picks), but PA has shown he will spend cash when needed. He maxed out Roy, he gave LA a fat contract, he didn't hesitate to match Nico's fat contract at the time, he just offered LA a max extension . . . and if you want current proof PA opens the checkbook, he just paid Kaman 5.8 million for this coming up yr. The problem is the Blazer roster has been littered with young players on rookie contracts for the past 5-8 years and very few draft picks have panned out. If the Blazers get good draft picks (like Roy, Aldridge and Nico), Allen will pay to keep them in Ptd. If a big time FA wants to come to Ptd and Ptd has cap space, he will dish out the cash. He always has in the past and nothing to show he won't in the future.
Does that make you a troll regarding A_am Morrison, or does it just make you wrong? I will be anxious to see what Sly changes your personal attack to read. He's always so clever
