    I still don’t understand how the team believes Hezonja is a better option than say Gerald Green. Gerald has been on a lot of teams, he knows how to adjust to a system on the fly. He actually played for Stotts back in Dallas, so the system wouldn’t be completely foreign

    I'm not understanding this? I thought the date to get replacements had passed already?
    Can the Blazers still get a replacement?

    Yes. The deadline was just for open roster spots. Players can still opt out and teams can still replace them.

    Maybe because he's been on a LOT of teams?

    This is the first we've heard from Biggie since that social media business (drugs?). Is he okay?

    I also believe teams have to turn in their initial Orlando rosters by midnight tonight.

    He’s established himself in the second part of his career. He’d be on Houston right now if it was allowed.

    Green, Crabbe, or Thomas if they want a vet that can play

    Hartenstein, Bender, or Koumadje if they want to replace biggie for practice/look at a possible piece for next season.

    If you want a vet that can play your a fool if your not looking at Joe Johnson!

    Biggie opting out is the basketball equivalent of, "if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"

    Biggie should have listened to the 10 Crack Commandments.

    I hope the dude is ok, mentally, but basketball wise I couldn’t care any less that he’s not on the roster. Well actually I do care, but only because we get to replace him.

    Opt out of playing in Vegas or opt out of his contract?
