not today, homie. too much pending work i put off. and LOL what can i do? Quick and Fentress need to be on this but they don't give a damn, and there's no scandal so no one from B-Edge will care.
Olshey usually brings 14 into training camp. So realistically I see two spots. Hopefully one is for a TPMLE, the other is up for grabs between a summer leaguer.
however probably will get a LOT more than ore than McLemore - maybe a 1 yr "prove it deal from someone like Char
why sign a wing when we will soon have a rotation of Simmons, RoCo, Little and a young and hungry Brown?
Fentress said vet min. Hollinger said vet min. Quick said vet min but he was quoting ESPN which didn't really say. Zach Harper said 5 million. Who knows.
assuming Zeller signed for the minimum.... which free agent wings are left that could be signed for the tax-MLE? Oubre? any others?
Have fun in LA Melo --- trying to get the ball out of Westbricks hand will take an act of god so again have fun But being serious -- Before he came to Portland - I Hated MELO but the last 2 yrs I have come to like Melo (within reason ) and a part of me would Love if he got a ring BUT not with the Lakers so I hope nothing but bad on ALL the players in Purple in Gold cept you Melo. --
We are probably discussing this in the wrong thread but hey. You are right; any guy with a serious injury is a risk. It seems a lot of times something else goes wrong and the recovery time gets extended. Unfortunately we are not in a very good place. The one year in which (maybe) Olshey decides to trade CJ and assets for an up[grade, well, there are not many choices available. Siakam and Simmons seems to be it. A guy who choked on free throws in the playoffs and can't shoot outside of 5 feet and a guy with a serious shoulder injury. We didn't have to be in this place but here we are. Since we are neither doctors nor sports psychologists, I'm not sure what we can discuss. We know whichever we choose it's a big risk, but it seems more palatable then the risk of sticking with what hasn't worked for 8 or 9 years.
Does there need to be any others? Oubre is worth more than the tax MLE so if he takes it then the team getting him needs to buy a lotto ticket. He could still be sign and traded instead. But to answer. DeRozan (another sign and trade posibility), Danny Green (worth Tax MLE?) and the rest of good ones are Restricted Free Agents.
Melo just spent 2 seasons playing with CJ. CJ's career assist rate is 17.5%; Westbrook's career assist rate is 42.7%. About 250% higher. Westbrook's career usage rate is higher than CJ's, but only about 22% higher
What is the hold up on our TPMLE? Have to imagine Millsap is the target here, but if he hasn't committed yet that means he's still waiting on a TPMLE from some other team. So even after courting Millsap for 12 years, and at age 36, we're still not an option. That's sad.
There are A LOT of good players left and not a lot of money out there. But most of the good players are all point guards: Nunn Jackson Schroeder
genuinely shocked Jackson still doesn't have a deal for $$$ after the playoff performance he just had
