@wizenheimer this is for you https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/j...html?outputType=amp&__twitter_impression=true
Yea his stats are fine sure but tell me a time this dude hit a big timely shot for us since he been a blazer. He could have a fantastic game then literally during crunch time does nothing
yeah...you actually can. takes practice though...beats the hoops rage trend...double overtime games are awesome. This series is fun....I'm actually glad it might go 7
Have to admit that game last night was entertainment. A game i will not soon forget if ever. Even Jokic said it was a sight to behold.
Agreed. Olshey didn't shoot 7-22. Or 3-11. Related: I hate that Carmelo is on this team. So maybe I do blame Olshey.
As a Blazer in close games with under 3 minutes on the clock he is 7 for 14 shooting. Not terrible. 14 shots = You're doing the small sample size thing again. Remember when you said he couldn't shoot free throws? He's 88% as a Blazer.
I disagree that his value has tanked. Of course we should have traded CJ a long time ago, some of us have been talking about it since the first season we saw these two undersized, ball dominant guards start together. That being said, CJ had a career year both before and after the injury and I think there are teams out there that would give up good value for him. I don't think there are a lot of those teams but there are enough out there that we should be able to get better by trading CJ this off season. We'll never know if we could have gotten even better in seasons past by trading him but it does stand to reason that would have been the case.
Dame would be ruining his brand. Dame's best move and I don't think he'll make it, would be to go to ownership and demand a new GM that puts a roster that's a better fit around him. Dame will instead continue to be loyal. It's Olshey's or hopefully a different GM's job to not worry about it, make the moves necessary to put a contender around Dame and expect the same thing every other move has ever gotten out of Dame. "It sucks to see guys I care about leave but this is a business." If Dame does ask for a trade or is holding this roster hostage by being a tyrant, then I'd have no problem trading him as long as it helps the team. I just don't have any reason to believe those things will be or are the case.
I will take this season off. Olshey and MeJ killed my excitement for my team, and that pisses me of. Until change happens i wont watch a game anymore
