Paint me as someone who doesn't believe this at all. Does Baze have post up game? Can he run the pick and roll to a certain degree? Can he defend as well as Rodney?? I'm sorry but the jury is still out.
Did you have to post the supersize version of your original post? That said, ET was by all accounts a great teammate and friend. I think the basketball side of Dame understands and was probably rooting for this.
What are you talking about Of course they are 1hr to negotiate millions seems very reasonable and calculated How dare you
Well, If we don't sign AFA than we have a shot at Hood and my thinking is Blazemore and Hood don't clog the rotation as much Hood and Turner. I think the Blazers will make room for Hood because he really fits our culture and is versatile. Please keep in mind, I could be 100% way the heck wrong too!
also, his 10 PER is a career worst. Joined the team late also. And, his playoff PER of 14 is actually more in line with the rest of his actual career. So, by all accounts, playoff Rodney is actually closer to his true form.
Without reading through this string...it appears the ATL folks believe they got the short end of the stick. Who am I to disagree! That said, is this simply a 1-year fix, of sorts? On a complete side note, I'd kinda like to see Robert Covington (RoCo) don a Blazers uni.
Based on how much of practice you’ve seen? Or what? I feel like the team probably has a better grasp on his ability to run the offense and knowledge of the offense than any of us do, especially myself.
Is Bazemore a good shot creator? I hate loosing Hood, Kanter and Curry. You have a creation problem without these players. Hood can score on Isolation, Kanter can score for himself in the post, Curry was most of the time a spot op shooter but he could shot of the dribble as well. I think it's going to be a lot harder for Dame and CJ not only to create for themselve, but they also have to create for other players. A big solution would be Anfernee playing like a 6th man of the year candidate with many assists, we are going to need them.
Can't have it both ways Dame. You either want to win and you want to improve the team, or you don't care about winning and you want to keep your friends around.
Poorly written, but I believe he meant that Bazemore is an upgrade over ET, not Hood. Hard to say for sure though. I miss the days when there were sports editors who cleaned up stuff like this.
My god, you’re not being over the top negative... what has happened today? Bazemore is not a shot creator, imo, although he can dribble better than Harkless and Aminu.
Nah, Dame definitely requested a trade over Evan fucking Turner. He had finally had enough. People just find shit to complain about.
I'm really really really happy ET is gone, belive me buddy, i just think creation could be a Problem next year if Simons is not ready.
