Harkless resolves after Crabbe decision?

If you can now take somebody to court over lack of playing time, I need to find my HS hoop coach!

 

To me Neil and Paul don't want to go in the luxury tax. Mo wants to play here but his agent wants more that put Blazers in the luxury tax.

 

You could hire a class action attorney, sue your mom and your dog and your brother and sister and every kid in your school and neighborhood.

 

Man if it wasn't for Neil, Harkless wouldn't be at this crossroads to begin with. That's gotta count for something right?

 

Do you not understand what I mean by survive? Obviously there'd be a drop off, I just don't think we'd be "screwed".

 

We beat the Cavs. Sure the rest of the schedule wasnt that good, but we're also better than last year. If we lost Dame there's no reason to think we couldn't play .500 ball.

 

I gotta say it's weird that the Meyers situation was resolved before the Harkless situation.
Nard stank up the court last season while Hark gave us starter numbers when he got consistent minutes.

I would let ML go and give that money to Mo' if that what it takes.

 

Fully agree. Harkless is the guy I want to see back in a Blazers uniform the most.

 

It would make no sense to sign Leonard over Harkless because we have a logjam at C and need a backup SF.

 

I was saying the whole time, Meyers hasn't proven much. Mo has proven he can be so many different things in a season with us. I don't get the organizations obsession with Meyers unless we signed him knowing we are gonna trade him eventually. I amnot one to hate on Meyers, just talking what I have seen. He stretches the floor sure, shoots great from three and plays good defense on bigs SOMETIMES. Decent rebounder. Can run the floor. That's it. Harkless is so much more valuable in this small NBA. Can play SF and PF, goes straight up with the ball. Athletic. Can develop a three. Defense, etc. Dude hustles. Only 23. Come on, easy decision, should of gave Hark the contract and let Meyers figure his shit out. Instead we are kinda treating this dude like garbage. Like oh yeah take the qualifying offer and we might match if it's something not that crazy but you aren't that important so go sit over there.

 

We need that clip of Henderson jumping and screaming at Leonard during a play ("Come on Leonard!!" #@#$%^) , that sounds like us watching him play.

It's annoying that Hark is given that treatment because it's not like he is some asshole who wants to play elsewhere, he wants to stay at Portland and he seems to care about the team.

 

Dude, this is a business.

This soccer mom mentality doesn't lead to titles. Neil coddles agents plenty as is. With our cap looking like it will in two years, we need some discounts.

 

But we can afford to spend millions on Nard because he is tall and has blonde hair?

Telling Harkless he's worth less than Meyers is VERY insulting.

 

Meh. Big's have been and always will be overvalued.

Harkless should take a page out of Nards book and bet on himself. Take what Neil's offering and prove he deserves more.

 

Last I checked, it's still July and a long way until camp. There's no rush for either the Blazers or Harkless to get a deal done. Unlike Leonard, who definitely wanted to stay with the Blazers, Harkless doesn't have a big incentive to come back since the team went out and spent a bunch of its cap money on Turner, who will start at the SF spot. I think Olshey wants him back, either on a reasonable contract or for the QO, but Harkless needs to get an offer to establish his value or be willing to accept the QO or whatever the Blazers are offering in the way of a multi-year deal. It's going to take some time to play out.
