Hark may well go, but I will be amazed if Leonard isn't around. (and if he shows anything while Nurk is out, I expect his next contract to be even worse than this one)
I think they move him and offer more money to keep Kanter or save money and get an Ed Davis..let Skal take Meyers towel..and Meyers gained more value than ET or Mo last season in short sample size....his 3pt shooting is going to attract some offensively challenged team like the Pistons or Grizzlies
Trading Mo for a bench pt guard...and Meyers for a PF would be cool.....or trade them both for a Paul Milsap or Kevin Love type
Isn’t that what Stotts implied at the press conference? Sounds like he and Neil have a bunch more moves planned. For the first time I’m thinking Chief and Harkless may be gone.
Yeah I’m like 90% sure Aminu is gone and I’m greater than 50% that at least one of Moe and Meyers is as well.
I think Chief and Jake will be let go if they get offers but re-signed if we need them and they don't get big deals...I don't think they'll be priorities until we have to decide....we offered Jake the qualifying offer but Mo is going to get traded I'd bet.....
Jake played the 4 much more as the season went on....Stotts played him with ET or Mo at the SF......Jake needs to improve on paint defense and help defense to play the 4 but if he can start hitting the corner 3...he can slash and finish at the rim better than Chief...decent rebounder ..early in the season he played great at SF when Mo was hurt....given minutes, Jake could provide some production ….if he's in and out for long stretches, he probably won't make those strides...I love his game when he's on
If someone can't have a decent conversation with you @TorturedBlazerFan , then that's on them. You make a concentrated effort to have a discussion with every poster.
Thanks for giving me a good example. You complain about these types of comments all the time, yet you make them yourself. You complain about these comments all the time, and then when I question that, I'm the snowflake. You make comments like these, but complain about there being too much drama on this forum.
I think he can play the 3- 4 as well. (Definitely not SG-that was a failed experiment IMO) A lot of teams have smaller perimeter players at PF. We have the bigger options with Zach and Skal, but we also need someone like Jake for certain match ups.
You shouldn’t take this place so serious. Take your mind off all those stat things you talk about. Might be good for you, take that argumentative edge off. Give you a fresh perspective. This place really isn’t THAT important. You don’t have to always have the last word or “win” the argument. Get out and get some fresh air like TPFKATHCP......just watched the sun go down here in San Diego.
To be fair to Cup, weve had good convo’s and good back and forth’s, I dont really have any thing there other than I feel like at times its hard to continue a conversation when I feel like I need to validate if Im a fan or not because I criticized the Blazers. I absolutely understand why us cranky, hyper critical folks can be frustrating to him and other posters, and maybe a few of us could lay off at times, but still, when theres really not a counter to whatever subject that was brought up, just kind of a, “Im a fan” response (Which I personally almost always perceive that response to mean, “Im a fan and you aren't”), I find that makes it very hard to talk about and discuss basketball, or Neil or Stotts or whatever. Anyways I should apologize for making two long posts about a poster. This thread is about Bazemore. Already excited to see if Bazemore helps the offense.
I've been critical of our team in the past and I've received similar remarks as you. A person's posting history generally brings out a person's intent. Make no mistake about it, you are a fan. To me it's pretty simple. I'm excited to see the offensive possibilities with Bazemore and other guys. However, I have my reservations defensively. I will wait to see how that bears out this season.
Yessir. My daughter is down here playing in the Elite Club Soccer National Championships with her squad. They are ranked #5 in the country. Very pumped. Don’t get to see her play on the road very often. Her league games are in Colorado, Arizona, California....all over the west. But it’s usually during Blazer season, so I miss ‘em. So I said screw it. Cashed in some SkyMiles and shot down here til Monday. She doesn’t even know I’m here. Was going to give this place a break, but It’s like a bad car crash. Same old people arguing. Sounds cheesy, but this place is not important enough to get so angry about shit. I don’t care what people say, it used to not be like this. People take this stuff so serious now. Busy telling everybody how WRONG or STUPID their opinions are. Leave the basement and go enjoy the day.
