Exclusive Anthony Davis Sweepstakes Entry: Blazers

Meh. Agents do this shit all the time.

Now we have Twitter.

Stern didn't do shit about agents then and there's nothing to do now.

Now you know what's happening behind the scenes because of social media.

 

I can not really like any of them though... I'm actually not really disgusted with any of them either, they're doing what they get paid to do.

 

Having disgust for and actively ranting about it are 2 different different things. MFs are in here just seem mad.

 

Bro, cats in here are salty AF right now.

Even with the minimal chance that AD comes here...

 

I mean, I think in someways what AD, LAL, and RP did to new orleans this year was like cold as ice... Derailed their entire season, have plummeted his trade value by actively chasing teams off, but if AD is telling his agent find a way to get me to this place than his agent is doing his job.

 

Why do we act like this has never happened though?

Like I said above, now we have Twitter.

What kind of advice do you think Brett Favre's agent was giving him?

This stuff is nothing new.

 

It isnt new but everything is just out in public more, thats why I said what I said up there.

 

Really, really hoping Blazers can find a way to get AD.

 

I think this is going to be a fun offseason. The Blazers should be on terrific footing whether they get AD or not. You either add a second first-team all-NBA player to your starting five or you are one of the few teams that pretty much returns intact and can hit the ground running. If the Warriors break up, everything's wide open, presuming the Clippers or Lakers don't hit the jackpot.

 

Not sure I agree with you on this. They have to make some moves to stay intact they'll lose at least one of the 3 (between curry, Kanter, and hood), then we really don't know when Nurkic is coming back.

 

We're going to be fine. Trust me.

(uses Jedi mind trick)

 

lol, but what does fine mean? I'm not saying we'll be a lottery team next year (though anything is possible), I'm just saying it may be harder to hit the ground running then it seems.

 

Curry is definitely gone, I think Kanter would be easier to bring back than Hood because Hood is looking for his first real pay day, that scares me.

If Hood leaves we need to draft a bench scorer.

 

Need to unleash a Simons.

 

I already think he will be, he is gonna get all of Curry’s minutes.

What I should’ve said is, we are gonna need to draft a wing scorer. Or trade for one.

 

I think the Blazers will be top four in the West again. If we lose all three of Curry, Hood and Kanter, we'll find guys to plug and play. I think Simons is ready to be a good rotation player. But I don't think we're going to lose all three of the players I mentioned. Honestly, I think Hood and Kanter are primed to come back, and we'll find someone to fill Curry's shoes, be it Ant or a solid shooter from an oversaturated free agent market who gets overlooked and we get at a bargain. Just like we've done before. Olshey's been pretty good at identifying guys like that.

 

Both? How, exactly....?

 

I think Hood and Kanter will sign for less than the market might usually dictate. I've said that before. They are unusual cases who've been through a lot of bad situations. Now, with what the Warriors are going through, I think they see an even better opportunity to win here, so I think it increases the odds they stay.

And I think the front office will find ways to make something work. We've seen other organizations, like the Warriors, do it. They'll find a way to clear salary or do what it takes.

 

What do you think they'll sign for? I feel like this is hopelessly optimistic, but maybe I'm wrong.

Warriors havent had 3 non-bird free agents looking for a payday while ago over the cap. They e done nothing like youre suggesting. People compare our situation to other teams when it doesnt compare.

 

Man with Klay going down as well the Warriors are done. We need to go for it.
