    It's not a dump truck, it's a series of tubes.

    I would use comic sans if I could. It's whimsical so maybe people will think I'm not trying to be negative.

    Players come to Portland and get better...Ed Davis, Enes Kanter, Rodney Hood....a long list. Look at post Portland careers of some ex Blazers and the buzz of their career more often than not was as a Blazer.

    I think all of that is true. I think he loved his teammates, but was really wanting to get into a different offense.

    Did your insurance cover removing the tubular dump truck so you could scare ET off and move in?

    Hey if it weren’t for ET’s 4th quarter, we don’t move on.

    Probably one of the most popular players with his teammates that I can remember. Maybe Ed Davis as well.

    I'm thinking Meyers will end up traded to another team....Indiana, Dallas, Miami, Lakers...would be my guesses

    It's true ET+CJ in that Denver game 7 was magic. Maybe the best quarters played by either guy??? Sweet memories...fuck me CJ was unstoppable in that 4th quarter.

    I'm literally ecstatic right now. I am so freaking happy. Haven't read the whole thread, don't know when Bazemore expires or what he makes but right now i don't care. He's better offensively and we got rid of Turner. I am so happy

    It's player for player (expiring contract for another). Works out for both teams.

    he makes a little less than a million more than Turner next season I read...pretty much a salary wash

    Mo Williams was pretty popular as I remember amongst his teammates

    Baze is a great dude from all accounts and Hawks fans seem pretty beat about about this.

    Here he is after getting his extension.

    Seems like there has to be another shoe dropping. They have hopefully replaced Hood's production. Now they need a real back-up PG. Last season there were too many times ET was the "best" playmaker on the court. We can do better.

    Until Dame and CJ change how they play Bazemore is not going get any more shots as anyone have play beside him. I do like the move but his impact for the team will probably be defense not offensive.

    “This trade makes a lot of sense for Portland. Bazemore is a quality wing rotation player who averaged 11.6 points per game, is athletic and can create shots. Last season Bazemore was on his way to a career year until a mid-season ankle injury, and while he did come back to the court he was never healthy and the same player. He’s not a knock-down three-point shooter but he has usually been at around 35 percent or a little higher five of the past six seasons (he was down to 32 percent last season because of the ankle injury). This is more than just Rodney Hoodinsurance, this is an upgrade.

    Turner was the guy Portland counted on as another shot creator, but he could not do that consistently or under pressure. He averaged 6.8 points per game last season, shot 21.2 percent from three, and is not a great defender. He is a popular teammate and good in the locker room (something useful with a young Hawks squad), but this is not an upgrade for the Hawks.

    Then why did Atlanta make this trade? Good question. The franchise does save $640,000, which is helpful but not earth-shattering. Maybe it’s a favor to Bazemore to get him on a team that went to the Western Conference Finals a season ago and is a threat going forward. However, the best reason may be the Hawks have three young players they like — Kevin Huerter, plus just-drafted DeAndre Hunter and Cam Reddish — at the same spot and this frees up minutes for them to play.”

    He doesn't need more shots - he just needs to hit the shots ET, Aminu, and Hark keep missing!

    CJ and Dame will pass to any player who can hit an open shot. Hood was a good example. But even if Baze doesn't get that many shots, the fact he needs to be guarded at least spreads the floor.
