This won't hurt my D-League ratings this year because I'll start building the reputation of Layman. I also hope to blank out entire quarters by interviewing Rice & Barrett, just like my heroes at NBA.com Summer League. Darkwebs abandoned me last year, but this season I'll flatter him long in advance to get those colorful first posts. It takes planning in advance to pull off a big project like this. Okay, all Montero fans, bring your hiking staffs and follow me to the footsteps of Mt. Layman!
The Blazers sent me an email. That's how I found out. That makes me the source. There was nothing to cite. But it did give me as chance to humble brag that I get official press releases from the Blazers and you don't.
Doesn't surprise me. He's a good prospect, I hope he gets a contract or goes to the NBDL and gets back into the league that way. It's sad that we're letting him go but I guess they chose to go with Pat and Jarret Grant instead, which is probably a good decision. Go Blazers
If we cut him and keep Pat I swear... Pat can't do anything at an NBA level. At least Luis could kinda shoot and kinda dribble and had some length. I don't see how we keep Steimsma or Quarterman.. But I don't think we should keep Pat either. I feel like our 15th guy is gonna be someone who's on a different team right now.
Olshey is in love with his draftees. So he got Kaman and Aminu. He gave big money to Leonard and Crabbe when everyone thought he should let them go. He will keep Connaughton and Grant Jerrett, of all people. His master plan remains unfulfilled, so he has offers out there for Travis Leslie, Trey Thompkins, Tyshawn Taylor, Jeff Withey, Marko Todorovic, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, and Daniel Diez.
When Neil traded Barton he said Will needed a chance to play more....I think it's the same with Luis..he'll end up in Europe and learn the game
Next summer everyone will be screaming "cut Jake!" As if the 13th-15th guys making minimum contracts have anything to do with any GM's master plan towards winning NBA titles.
I remember how angry fans were when we traded TRob and let JJ Hickson leave.....dodged a bullet on those...
