    Is that what was being said of Lillard after the 2017 season, and CJ after the 2018 season.
    We know they're better than this.
    The more you know.

    That's 100% false.

    That still makes no sense, Eds cap hold is more than twice what he signed for, so signing him early would've opened up more money...

    You said "most of you".

    It's 100% false that most of us wanted him gone.

    I do remember quite a bit of hate. A lot of people downplayed his injury and thought he was being lazy. I was not involved with that shit show.

    Only 99%. For a week. Then we found out he'd been injured all season, and waited to see whether he'd make a comeback the next Fall. He sure did.

    The people who wanted him back didn't say much. You'll hear the complainers over them.

    I don’t get this front office. If he received a deal like the one Ariza got and we thought we couldn’t compete with that then fine. But $4.4million for a year, which is less than what he had made here, is absurdly low for a good player like him.

    I can’t believe someone would think Meyers Leonard is worth $10million per year but Ed Davis doesn’t deserve half of that.

    Aminu's our other defender, but he plays outside more. Davis was our Mr. Inside. On offense, Davis made a lot of miracle 5-footers right through defender arms.

    Our guard hot shots look good because of rebounders to vaccuum clean their errors. The guards may lose their swag and play smarter. Lillard can't take as many stupid hopeless shots.

    I was indifferent on Ed Davis in 16/17. Seemed a big drop off from his prior efforts and suspected aging robbed him of his energy/tenacity, and I would have been fine seeing him part. Fast forward to 17/18, it's disclosed Ed was hurt in 16/17 and that father time hadn't caught up with him yet. He's back to the Ed Davis we knew previously and the Collins/Davis 2nd team duo was one of the highlights of last season. It's all about what you've done lately and Ed Davis was trending way up...at least through the eyes of a lot of Blazer fans.

    Man! I take a nap, wake up, and see this BS. What a kick to the jewels. And for so little money. C'mon man! I get wanting Swanny to get more minutes, but Ed was the glue. What a downer. Best wishes to Phys. Ed. and his Family God Bless and Thank You.

    Sorry Ed you went to that shit show known as New York which has a higher state tax then Oregon (or at least it used too). At least you are going to a team that is trying to get better unlike the one you have left good luck and I hope you get more playing time.
    You have a place in the hearts of quite a few Blazer fans and will always be welcomed in Portland.
