Gotta have the cheap ones so you can afford the expensive ones. Snell makes DJ, Jr. more expendable. Hopefully in combination with CJ. Fingers crossed that there's a big deal coming.
Kenneth Farried to be on the Blazers Summer League roster! does all this bench-filling mean we are in for a monster trade? CJ + DJJ + 2 #1’s for Simmons? CJ +Nurk + DJJ + 2 #1’s For KAT + Rubio Siakam + Boucher for CJ + RoCo + pick
Man! Snell, really. Why more guards, not name Josh Hart. A guard that has tenacity. McLemore & Snell are end of bench guys. You can hate on Melo, all you want, but at least he can play. Naw, this is silly.
Even if that was the case, there’s nothing to complain about. We got enough players in the rotation rn for those guys to not even see minutes. These guys are vet minimum players. I’d understand the complaint if we were talking about a MLE or something like that.
There's nothing to complain about fringe NBA guys being added to the roster when there is a looming trade demand from the best player in the history of the franchise? When the guy applies pressure and does everything but explicitly lay out an ultimatum to improve the roster, you sign Tony Snell and Ben McLemore? Are you kidding me? So what you're saying is that we should be satisfied with the same rotation as last year that lost to an undermanned Denver team. Try explaining that to Dame.
I'm pretty positive, but a big move involving CJ & DJJ has to be in the works. Cause these last 2 signings are pretty underwhelming.
I agree, It is crazy that FA is over, no more trades are allowed until next year. Oh wait, FA is still ongoing, Trades are just now starting to happen, but look out the sky has fallen in Blazer land.
Two of our first three signings have been (as stated) for non-rotational players and pretty much anyone of significance is off the board. When's the parade?
These moves would be looked at differently if they occurred after a major shift to the roster ala. trading CJ. But based on the order we're receiving them, they look laughable. And with Olshey's track record, who is really going to believe that he will actually take a risk?
Then what would you do? I guarantee you literally anything you come up with is not hindered by these signings. Get a grip. And I didn’t say any of that, don’t put words in my mouth.
I agree, no other team has signed end of bench players, just fucking Neil Olshey. Everyone else is out here signing 5 time all stars. Man some of you guys need to step away for a week or so.
you really see a light at the end of the tunnel? nearly every indication we have gotten from the team and the media is that they want to run it back. these moves aren't even improving us around the edges.
It's more that this is in line with Olshey's modus operandi for the last 9 years. We've seen this movie.
I guess I'm just wired to look at these moves from the other way around. There's absolutely no reason for Olshey to be stocking up on these guards unless a trade is in the works. I think they make the likelihood of CJ getting moved much greater than they would if Olshey was standing pat.
