    See I think on D he gets away with just as much, you see him grabbing guys, tugging on jerseys, stick the accidental leg out to trip a guy, guy is just all round dirty to me. Still really good but I have never liked him, even in college.

    Bazz was only going to be a 3rd guard for so long with us like Frazier or Quarterman or Ronnie Price....he'll get a rotation spot somewhere.

    Shabazz obviously learned a lot from dame, tried to imitate his game at times. He played fairly well last season. Hope he gets paid.

    I hope he gets 5 or 6 mil a year, and has a long career. Good dude. Hard worker.

    Fans like us have no effect dude. You blame the FA signings and inactivity on fans? So constantly comaining on an internet forum makes Neil uncomfortable and will lead to a difference in the way he manages?

    Nobody is getting "excited" about Nunally. He's a good option for our 15th roster spot, as a veteran who can shoot and defend. Nobody's saying he should even be in the rotation, but you distort that just to complain about it and talk shit to people.

    My goodness dude.

    It's not you voicing your opinion. It's You repeating the same negative crap 100 times a day. I hope you see the difference. Everyone knows exactly how you feel. So what do you think you're accomplishing?

    I wish Baz all the best. When he played within himself, he was very effective. When he tried too hard, to do too much, he hurt us. Good luck to him.

    When turned loose, Napier could really score. When Lillard missed games and we won, McCollum fans praised their man, but Napier caused the wins at least as much. After those games in post-game comments, Stotts saw Napier only as a SG shooter and never respected his steals and PG playmaking.

    Dude it’s an appreciation thread for one player. The thread is because he is no longer with us.
    Instead of you passing on this appreciation thread, you choose to derail it with a shitty post for no reason. He is already off the team and you have to kick him in the ass on the way out?
    Life, real life, blazers forum, no life, it doesn’t matter.

    He is gone you got your wish. You don’t have to make asshole posts on top of it.
    I mean have we NO class around here?

    We talk about fa’s not wanting to come here. When we treat players like this I could see one reason why.

    Way to represent the best fan base in the nba.... not....

    To shabazz:

    I Am sorry and apologize for some of my fellow “fans” who can’t give you any amount of respect.
    You played hard and gave us your all, unfortunately just not the best fit next to our top guards.
    Loved your tenacity to get after it. Keep it up and I wish you the best.

    Ignore the hate mongers and negative nancies.
    They are simply a downer on life in general. Not just a downer to you or us. Give them the double bird and keep on going.

    Shabazz is the man!!

    You honestly think Shabazz is gonna read the threads in this forum or gives two flying fucks about anyone that posts here?! Now that is comical my friend, haha! The dude is a multi millionaire, his life is good... and you are crying because I called out the truth that he played like crap for the entire 2nd half is season, shooting under 35% from the field... dude you are way to sensitive to be posting in a sports forum.

    Again, this is a Blazers forum... it has nothing to do with anything but Blazers... because my opinion about the Blazers current state of affairs hurts your feelings you say try to say I’m negative at funerals... you are an emotional wreck... this has nothing to do with anything but Blazers bro

    I'm thinking Bazz might end up starting for a team somewhere. There are a bunch of teams he could fit in with from the Hawks to Charlott to Denver. Wizards need depth and even Utah and the Suns could use him.
    Point is Shabazz has some value and he will play for someone this year. That team could even be the Blazers if he wants to renegotiate the contract. Not making the offer simply kept the cap hold off the sheets. Olshey is doing the very things most on here would expect him to do.

    You don’t get it. Of course I don’t think he will read it. It’s about respect. Another thing I don’t think you get. You telling me I’m an emotional wreck????? Lmao. Dude... you don’t know me but I understand. I’m laughing at your posts and how childish they are at times.
    The difference between me and you is I have emotional outbursts on here for fun and try to rabble rouse. You have actual breakdowns and it blocks your logic and discipline.
    Everyone here knows your stance because you cram it down our throats every chance you get. Including an appreciation thread.

    Seriously. Have you no class? Even in a blazers forum that has plenty of above intelligent members who partiscicipate in adult conversations all the time, you can still have discipline and smarts enough to know when to quit. Know when your audience is yawning at you. Know when people are borderline ignoring you because, you...just...can’t...stop.

    You are a trainwrek man... this is a sports forum not a f’ing tea party. Maybe you need a safe room where everyone can hold hands and agree on everything... again, this is a Blazers forum, and you don’t know me so get outta here with your judgement on having class... you are way to sensitive to post in a sports forum

    well, that escalated quickly.

    Now back to the topic. I hope Shabazz gets a good contract that sets him up for life. Seems like a good guy, maybe not the best fit for the team as it's currently made up.

    I wish nothing but the best for him, cept when his new team plays the Blazers.
