    Good luck in Denver. Seems like half the time you were the only one who a gave a chit on defense.

    I said this in the other thread but will repeat it.

    I understand doing this deal but with that said Mase was the only Trail Blazer that you could say gave every ounce he had every game he played. That will be missed.

    I will miss him, he didn't deserve some of the shit he got. Good player on the wrong team. Good luck to him.

    Always a pleasure watching him play. It was not always pretty - but the effort was always there - and when it did work out - it was very nice. It is a shame that he can not stay here - but Brooklyn's Crabbe offer, the match and the big contract for MyLe pretty much made it a necessity. I am sure Plums will earn a big contract next year - and some of the credit needs to go to his time in Portland and the play-making responsibilities he got here.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Plumlee was solidly okay. On this roster, that was an oasis in the desert. Vaya con Dios, Plumlee.

    Dude has time and time again been our 3rd best player on the court.

    I'll miss him. But i totally understand the trade.

    I understand they get paid well to put up with it but this is rough when you think of them as people instead of just contracts.

    Talking to Jason Quick was the more upsetting part of his day.

    Will miss his:

    Court vision
    Passing
    Fast breaking
    Ball handling
    Dunks
    Work ethic
    Hustle

    Will not miss his:

    Shooting touch
    Interior defense
    Free throws
    How he got to the line so much in clutch situations

    Overall, a good teammate and a good dude who represented Portland well. I wish him the best.

    I know you guys love effort and all, but I really want skill at this point. If I had to watch Mason duff on another pass down low and drop it out of bounds my head was going to explode!

    I'm sad to see him go, he was a pretty decent above average player. We need better than just above average though.

    I was just telling my brother last night how we should trade Mason before we lose him. Didn't actually think it would be so soon.

    I hope he does great wherever he ends up this summer. Also, wouldn't be upset if we ever re-acquire him one day.
