Bazz or Ed

Having another scoring guard off the bench in a guard dominated league with rules that favor guards, I lean Bazz. I think he solidifies a major role on the next team he signs with. I’d rather that team be ours

And, hate to say it, but I slightly fear ed is only playing for a contract where bazz wants to be great. I could be wrong but it certainly has crossed my mind multiple times
 
If we only could keep one?.....Ed.
I like Napier alot and want to keep him as well, but a back up PG is a little easier to replace than a back up Center.
 
Tough but I'd go with Ed. A lot of people say you can replace backup guards easier than bigs, and although that is probably true, bazz is a pretty special player. Push comes to shove, I think ed's intangibles and drive makes him more valuable to the team.

Sure we'll keep both, but for shits & giggles, which would you keep if could only keep one?

Because I rate them even in value to the team.
 
Ed has said he wants to finish his career in Portland and he loves Stotts.
 
Nurk, Ed, Bazz and Connaughton are all free agents this summer. Ed is unrestricted.

The MLE next year will be around $8.5M. Ed and Bazz will probably grab somewhere close to that. I'm guessing Nurk will be closer to $15M. If the Blazers want to resign all of them (at around those numbers), they will be about $24M over the tax line, resulting in a tax bill of about $61M. Ouch.

It all depends on how well we do in playoffs.

Ed is playing like he did two years ago, before the injury. He wasn't playing for a contract then, and I don't think he is now.

I would answer the question as: Ed you have to keep, Bazz would be nice to keep.
 
Ed. I don't see why this is a question.

There is a glut of guys like Bazz. I'd be shocked if his numbers couldn't easily be replaced. Bazz' contribution to the team culture may be a big consideration, though.

Who is the last guy we had that performed like Bazz? Greg Anthony? That was a loooong time ago.
