Is this assuming the Cap stays near the same? Because i'v heard multiple times on different podcasts before FA that the cap is expecting to take another large jump of 10m in the next few years.
Fuck yes i wanted harkless back! I love the current team. We made second round last year and we upgraded 2 spots. No reason we cant go farther!
Funny. Y'all thought we'd win 25-30 games last season with basically the same team. Now we're the deepest team in the league. NOW do you understand, lol?
I don't wanna read this whole thread. Anyone else worried that only a few players like Dame are going to be left to give a fuck? These guys are making crazy money.
I think the Blazers have had enough time to judge the personalities and what money is going to do to their motivation.
Meyers was signed quite a while ago. No mention of Crabbe either because neither deal was done in the last two days like the others.
Harkless wanted to stay a Blazer and he got his wish. It a good contract for what I seen in the playoffs with Harkless. To me Harkless backup Turner and Crabbe backup CJ. So there is minutes for both of them. Now 4/5 spot that might be head scratcher for Stotts who going back up Aminu at the 4. I think Ezeli and Plum will handle the 5 spot.
I believe Davis might be backup the 4/5 but a third option at both position. After thinking about it the 2nd unit will be CJ, Crabbe, Harkless, Leonard, Plum. CJ will play the point when Dame sits. But I been wrong before but that that's what I see.
His expectations are sky high that's for sure. He's putting in the right kinda work tho so I'm bullish.
The awesomeness that was last season did happen bc of Lillard's drive BUT... ALSO chemistry was the thing @ the heart of it all; not only does Lillard's drive wear off on our guys/fuel them BUT our guys from last yr. ALSO encouraged Lillard/his drive. You're right, that Moe's true skill value is probably something between our perception of him & outsiders' perspectives of him BUT bringing Moe back was huge IMO for the morale of our guys AND will help once again in keeping the fire burning in Lillard's drive!
