Re: Mo Williams!

To the Blazers? This has to be just a rumor or a big trade and package is going on. OOOOOOOOOOR is CJ really just a SG, and they know he can't be a pg?

Re: Mo Williams!

David Aldridge. 2 years, player option. That's fucking awesome.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Sort of an odd signing because he replicates so much of what Lillard does, but whatever.

Re: Mo Williams!

Mo Williams' deal with Portland is for $5.6M over two years, league source says. The second year is a player option

Shocked.

Re: Mo Williams!

I shit you not, this is on Wikipedia already:

Maurice "Mo" Williams (born December 19, 1982, in Jackson, Mississippi) is an American professional basketball player who plays for the Portland Trailblazers of the National Basketball Association.

Re: Mo Williams!

Didn't we just draft this guy?

 

[Wheels]

I'm more shocked that he's still alive!

 

[HailBlazers]

Awesome

Glad we got another veteran guard

 

[BBert]

This is a relief. CJ is not a PG. No sense thrusting him into that position in his rookie year, even as a backup.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This can only mean we're trading LMA for Lebron.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

deal coming soon. seriously, this feels like when we were stacking assets prior to that late 90s/early 2000s team.

 

[BBert]

Olshey doin' work!

 

[santeesioux]

We kind of have a bench now, guys.

I said that from day one. He may be in the future, but right now he is not a PG. And I have never had a problem with that.

The Jazz loved Mo last year. This is a pretty good move.

 

[BBert]

Time to change our off-season grades.

Lillard now has his backup. CJ is free to grow and learn. I'm just wondering if anyone has to be cut for this addition?

Edit: just looked at the current roster. Yeah, there HAS to be a trade coming.

 

[magnifier661]

I think it's a great move. You can't have enough quality vet guards. He can run an offense, shoot and doesn't buckle under pressure. Sometimes these vet guards can keep the team on track during the long and grueling season.

Harris will be cut soon. I have no doubt Portland wants to deal with a bad apple like that.

 

[santeesioux]

I wonder if Barton or Crabbe will be cut too along with that other guy?

I don't think so. There isn't an incentive to cut them.
