    It sucked that happened and as soon as it did, you knew Stotts would bury him on the bench again for perhaps a month. Looking back at that quick stretch, it wasn't really his fault. In fact, he got an offensive rebound, kept another possession alive and not sure if anyone scored on him. His size and activity had a brief effect which is all you can ask for now.

    It's pretty sad that we have fans that look at everything in such a negative light and constantly only focus on the negatives. It's been a tough season but there is still light at the end of the tunnel.

    He turned down 12.5 per year already. Blazers after the Ariza trade have about 16M max this offseason. So it’s not impossible. If they move Hood they will have more. I’m assuming Hood takes his 6.7M option due to the injury. There’s also some wiggle room if they move Trent or Hezonja. Could Bogdonavic command 20+? With the money out there this offseason I could definitely see it. Plus he will be restricted. I don’t see much chance.

    Unfortunately, it's my pipe dream that will go unfulfilled. I can't think of a better 6th man who could even slot in next to Dame/CJ at SF

    Im not completely sure why people are enamored with Bogdonavic. He’s never posted a TS% of higher than 55%. Decent shot creator on decent volume, but lacks the size to defend wings. As a cheaper alternative to CJ, maybe, but not as a starting SF.

    I like Moses, but he seemed kind of jittery out there and I understand Stotts didn't want to risk the humiliation of losing this game at home. Hopefully he can give him more minutes in another game.

    The GM shouldn't be held responsible for injuries, that's ridiculous. It would be a pretty good roster if they were healthy. You don't always have to assign blame on someone, especially if it's just bad luck. Shit happens, it's nobody's fault.

    One of the problems I saw was he looked physically weak. He could not hold on to a rebound in traffic. He looks like he needs a year in the weight room.

    You HAVE to lower you standards.
    We can't get prime free agents and All-Stars to Portland via free agency. If you can get guys more talented than Allen Crabbe or Evan Turner with that money then you do it. You don't get easy pieces if you're not in California,Florida,NY or Texas.

    This post is stupid. He's a restricted free agent. You're not just overpaying him, you're going to overpay him on top of overpaying him for being a restricted free agent. To even clear that type of room would cost assets, not to mention the fact that you still run the risk of Sac matching.

    This post is stupid. You don't know the future. We don't even know if SAC wanted\wants to extend him and for what price, we don't know his market value around the league either.

    And also, i'm curios, where's the risk in SAC matching? it screws them over, not us.

    TBH i'm not high on Bogdanovic either...
