How did this discussion get from Gabriel v Giles to Gabriel v Melo? IMHO, Melo has zero to do with this. We dumped Gabriel (and buried Little) in...
And yet some fans are proclaiming Olshey a genius for the signing.
Funny - but most of the comments here about Gabriel could also be applied to Little. How would you feel about replacing Little with Oden 2.0?
As raw as he is, Gabriel on the court is still worth more than Giles in street clothes.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Who do people honestly think are smarter - Olshey/Stotts or Riley/Spoelstra? Who got the most out of Jones they...
If he could still play PF, I would be all in favor of that. Aldridge is way past his prime and is at the point he is best suited to play center. We...
"Pressure is on Stotts." Bingo. It isn't that Jones is a bad player - it's that Stotts is NOT flexible and Jones is NOT his prefered type of player....
Kind of odd. The guy isn't anything special, but I find it hard to believe nobody offered a multi-year deal.
I wonder how many of the fans who are OK with the Giles signing were opposed to drafting Tillie due to his injury issues?
Feel kind of sorry for Gabriel. He really played with a lot of heart and hustle during his brief time in Portland. On paper Giles may be worth more,...
My point is that the roster looks better, but Stotts and Olshey are still the ones driving the bus. That makes it tough for me to be too optimistic....
Probably good advice.
OK, I'm going to play Devil's advocate here. Which injury(ies) made this huge difference? Nurk? I would agree with that to a point, but Whiteside's...
<groan> If we were going to sign a defensive specialist Noel was a superior choice to Jones at half the money.
Trades: B/B+ Draft: incomplete FA: D
Balaclava and banana hammock.
Assume for sake of argument the team wants him back. Can we offer him the most money? Can we offer him the most PT? Can we offer him the best chance...
I absolutely agree. I wish we had the MLE to spend on a guy like that.
And the next time Dame gets buried under multiple defenders and play-off level defense, we can take comfort in that.
And when the other team swarms Dame, how will he be any more useful than Hark and Aminu were? I'm not just bitching to bitch - I look at Jones and...
