Aldridge and Webster set conditioning drill records....outlaw fails again

It's amazing considering LMA is 6'11" and nearly 250 lbs.

 

Regarding Outlaw, is it just me or does he look a lot bigger?



As for his conditioning, I don't like the fact that he knows this test is going to occur and he still has trouble passing it. I know he's afraid of pushing himself due to his asthma, but at some level that becomes an excuse.

 

Holy crap! When I said that Outlaw looked bigger, I wasn't referring to the size of the photo I posted. Damn, that one is almost life-size.

 

i think you should delete that post..i have seen a picture of his arms and he looked a lot stronger

 

That picture is way too big.

This would be an example of Outlaw scapegoating, wouldn't it... headlining that he "fails again" when the actual context of the article goes to lengths to downplay it.

 

Outlaw does look bigger though. Remember how thin he was when we drafted him. I was always afraid he would break something, especially since when we drafted him he was thought to be a pure, but raw and undersized power forward.

 

This info was posted already in a few other threads.

 

Shouldn't you be working right now!

 

I miss bigfoot . . . it was so Northwest.

But I guess beer is too.

 

I can't wait until Portland sends Trout packing before he does anything stupid and brings down his value. I've got a bad feeling about him. Ok. I'm going to duck and cover now.

 

He almost looks unrecognizable. It's pretty incredible to see how some of our guys have changed over the summer.

As to what kind of "stupid" thing could Outlaw do to bring down his value?

 

I am an Outlaw supporter, and I don't disagree with you at this point.

 

Hmmmmmmmm, nope, won't say it.

 

does such a species really exist? Ever since he can into the league he's been working on his perimeter game. At 6'7.5 barefoot and built to bounce not bang, I'm sure he's been the most aware of the writing on the wall about where he projects best. All of 23 now, it makes sense that he's filling out some but he still projects best at the 3.

I will say this though.

I will be VERY surprised if Outlaw is a member of this team in '09-10. This is from an Outlaw supporter, and I do think his trade value is much higher than getting Kyle Lowry in return.

 

travis outlaw + raef for conley, marko, darko, not that memphis needs any more cap room.

 

but Portland needs conley, marko & darko??? The only position where I'm not comfortable with currently is SF, and you're for stretching that position even thinner for guys that project as backups at crowded positions and a bad contract (Jaric)?

Color me confused.
