    Really happy for Duop and the Blazers. As a 3rd string PF/C, he’s more than worth the money. For the Blazers, he’s done more. With the roster still being a work in process, glad to see Duop pulling the trigger.

    No defense and they still brick open 3s and turnover the ball.

    He deserves it.

    Also reminds me of Kevin Duckworth with those wristbands

    That was pretty much my point. I'm happy for him. He has worked very hard to get to where he is.

    The Blazers don't have any A+ stars anywhere on this roster.

    He's a 13-15 bench player on a bad team playing because of injuries. Why would anyone think he was an A+ star player?
    Glad he got his contract. He's obviously earned that but he will only be a practice guy playing spot minutes on this team going forward unless they decide to tank again next year. Which as much as I would hate that It might be exactly what they do and if that happens he might play the same role next season as well.
    Good luck to him.

    He's also 27, and I can't imagine he's going to take a leap at this stage in his career. If he were, say, 21 years old then I could be excited about this new contract, but as it is... **shrug**

    Yeah not trashing the guy at all. He worked a long time and probably very hard to get that contract. You pretty much summed it up. ***shrug***

    again doesnt really respond to what the hell i said originally but whatever.

    all im saying is that if you are actually happy for him, you sure doesnt sound like your actually happy for him. Just feels like backhanded complements on whats supposed to be a positive post, That's all.

    He's also a hell of a lot better than anyone would have predicted this time last year, so there's no reason to believe his age will be a limitation relative to his contract.
