Nah, that's not his role. He is a perimeter defender and this team needs one. Once GP2 was traded, it pretty much ensures they extend it. Probably try to get him at $5m a year for 3 years or something like that, if he does not take it, qualifying offer and hope no team goes crazy.
As a Blazers fan, there's so much local PR spin surrounding this team now, it becomes dizzying trying to relate to other Blazermaniacs. I can't tell who is a PR bot, and who is a legitimate fan. Are there season ticket holders infiltrating the comment sections, trying to justify why they spent so much on their tickets? The local media wants to keep their jobs, so of course they will only say positive things. What I do know is the media narrative in building up GP2 to be the needle mover, building a contending franchise, just moved the needle backwards !!
Wait wasn't Detroit basically in on this trade? Couldn't we have gotten Noel instead of Knox? No way they actually value that guy right? Or maybe it was just because Noel costs Jody more money.
This …. is so troll Why do we keep doing ish like this? We could have traded for Covington. Cut him in the off-season when we miss the playoffs, then trade for him again in 2 years after the clippers re-sign him.
From a source close to the team: “He waited long past the time the team thought he was ready to play to take the court. He and his trainer were calling the shots, he told the team he didn't trust them and that created the rift. There were some off the court situations I can't really get into. It almost appears that he got paid by PDX and did all he could to get back to the Bay. He frustrated the front office, Dame, and a number of teammates. not good when you give him a full mid-level.” I’ve seen a lot of smaller stuff going around about him and I know with my eyes I haven’t seen him at a full sprint once this entire season on the court.
We shoulda known what he was about when he explicitly told everyone he just went to the team that gave him the most $
