128M/4years going to Kennard and Morris!!!!!! Jesus-Good-God what is happening to this game!!!! And people bitch about CJ's contract!!!!!!????
Morris Kennard Bertans Plumlee Grant Fulton Adams Beasly Harris. All got massive contracts and I'm not sure any of them are a starter. Agree CJ contract is starting to look much better!
Good possibility that Trent will leave next year if they offer him a bunch I hope he stays. I think Zach will get new contract and stays here. But there some teams that has talk to Portland about Zach so kind watch for that next off season. I also Kanter will sign back with us and Jones will 50/50. Giles 50/50 for him to stay.
no way Jones stays here after 4 months of clouds and rain. Im a native Oregonian and still cant stand the winters here.
He was born and raised in Philly. A lot of guys come here and love it. Majority of these decisions are driven by money and role. Don’t recall many players leaving a city due to weather.
Lillard: “I think people look at certain cities and they go to places [on the road] like New York and Toronto and go, ‘I like this place’ so for any free agent, that’s the first thing they are going to think of. But when they come to Portland it’s raining, it’s cloudy, it’s cold and that’s the first thing they see.
Yeah it’s not San Diego. But for Jones JR, our weather is mild compared to Philly. If he leaves because of the weather so be it. Just not sure how many times that’s ever happened.
It’s always been interesting - weather and sports. At the college level people always confused, how can San Diego State suck at football or why isn’t UC Santa Barbara better?! Athletes don’t care as much as everyone else. Kids go to Eugene over Honolulu or San Diego or Arizona and LA. As for pros, they all know that from May to Sept they go “home”. During the season they are gone half the time. Not sure they really factor in weather that much.
He should start at the three when CJ gets back. As for longer term, we should use CJ to acquire a four and let Trent take over, but we all know the only way that’s happening is if Olshey gets fired.
I never understood that argument. If anything, Portland's summers should attract more players. It's better than other cities. It's just reputation. It's why when players actually end up here they realize it's no different than other cities, for the most part. Of course, que the "there's 3 black people here!" routine.
Lillard: “I think people look at certain cities and they go to places [on the road] like New York and Toronto and go, ‘I like this place’ so for any free agent, that’s the first thing they are going to think of. But when they come to Portland it’s raining, it’s cloudy, it’s cold and that’s the first thing they see. Evidently Lillard thinks its its a factor for attracting FA stars because thats what he hears.
Oshley could be aggressive and try CJ, Ant, Hood, and maybe Nas, for a close-to- superstar piece and a fucking real backup point guard. Then hope to hell Trent will sign. Plenty of teams would love to have CJ and or Ant. OR Deal Trent now instead of CJ. Having both makes no sense to me. Trent will bolt if he sees himself as a bench player. Then Portland gets shit. I assure you that this is what Neil will do. NOTHING. Trent is as good as gone IMHO.
