Nate Rob would have been great if we picked up Chandler but with Afflalo AND CJ at the 2 it's hard to give him any minutes next to Blake.
I don't care, Nic is shooting horrible THIS yr and it has not gotten any better and its hurting the team, aberration or not it's gone on for 50 friggin games!
Casey notes that he has started every game he has played in the last 5 years. Will definitely be a transition to the bench role. I'm expecting Stotts to give him extended runs so he can get warm.
Love the deal. Makes me happy and sad at the same time. I think if Wes really gets max like offers from someone like the Knicks, it wouldnt surprise me if we let him walk and signed afflalo for 9-10 million a year
What about dee bost? I kinda liked him in summer leagues. Thought he could be a decent third PG. What's he up to?
I'm thrilled with every aspect of this trade except losing Vic....I liked Vic's game but realize Stotts didn't. This trade is proof that Neil gets all his advice on trades from the forum thread. You read about Afflalo here, admit it Olshey!
Blazers got the best player in the trade = Win Blazers traded non-rotation short-timers for a legit sixth man = Win Open roster spot for PattyPokerBiebs = Lose Can't win 'em all I guess.
