Free Agent New Blazer Skylar Mays

The Memphis broadcasters mentioned how the G-League players are being looked at by other teams too. It's their opportunity to show the NBA what they got.

We can hope Skylar makes the Blazers, but if Cronin can't move off the Keon experiment, at least Skylar is putting up eye raising numbers with his run in the show.

 

Moving Keon won't be hard. He makes 2.8 mil. I'd be shocked if the Blazers aren't talking to his May's agent . It's not like Skylar has been playing this well against the others team's end of bench crew. He's doing this against top flight dudes.

 

I like this guy a lot. More than a solid backup PG who actually knows how to run a squad.

Skylar > Keon

 

Keon has shown enough that he might be able to make it in the league past his rookie contract.

He is in no way a PG (despite playing that this year). Also, he is a bit selfish... He might be able to become a microwave type player for 10-15 minutes off the bench. All things being equal, I hope he makes it in the league (just on another team).

 

Sign this guy for backup/third string point before someone else does!!!

 

I also noticed they were talking us up as a whole towards the end of the game. The announcers were really impressed with Portlands effort on the court. One of the rare times ive heard an opposing announcer praise us like that.

 

I hope he's good enough to be. We've had such a hard time finding a good one lately.

 

Skyler is looking like a nice but you have to wonder why he wasn’t on a team already if he’s this good. I want to see it when the games really matter. Right now the Blazers are tanking and a lot of the guys have the greenlight to just shoot the ball or to play the way they want to.

 

Bruh, why did Chauncey the player bounce around before he found a home?

 

if we keep dame & ant, hes not staying on the team

maybe even if we trade ant, theyre just gonna make sharpe second ball handler

 

I heard that he was upset at Billups last night?

 

Who was?

 

I like him as 3rd string point guard comes in makes game easier for teammates. He’s Old school pg

 

Skylar Mays....heard on radio that he was mad because thought coach was trying to lose the game?

 

Well he better chill if doesn’t want to be bagging groceries next week.

 

I was gonna tell you the same, FAMS!

 

My seasons over, and my slow time kicks in next week, don’t be surprised if I’m not baggin your groceries this summer, bro.

 

He’s probably the best 3rd string PG I can think of: better distributor than most rookie PGs but will around the same amount as a rookie PG or less.

You can always bring him in when Ant struggles as backup PG. If Mays eventually beats out Ant for backup PG duties because he proves to be a better distributor, that would really signal Ant leaving.

So far, I hesitate to trade Ant because we now need to spend money on a backup PG. If Mays shows he is a Tyus Jones-quality backup, we can lock him up for several years at a really good price and think about trading Ant. I personality can’t imagine Ant going for any lower than at least a 1st.

 

Not unless you on the islands, brah.
