    This would be the cyanide icing on a shitty azz cake for me if we sign glass man to a big enough contract that we have to renounce Mo for. Give him our last 10 mil a year tops. All he deserves with his many games missed. Do not lose Harkless please!

    No way this guy deserves 20 mil a year. Hope Quick is all sorts of wrong.

    Would like a big but not for this much and at expense of others. Sulinger can be had for 10 I bet if Ezeli turns it down.

    I can get excited about him being part of our 3 man center committee like the Warriors had. He was playing pretty well early in the year before his injury. But I would not get rid of Plumlee to sign him. I don't care what the medical exam shows.

    Davis isn't a starter, I'm guessing Festus will be.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Check that when ordered by Points Saved/36. Almost laps the field.

    I see he did save the most points per 36 of anyone in the league; and it wasn't even close.

    Throwing a ridiculous $20M per year and dropping Harkless out of fear that we won't be able to compete for a title this upcoming season if we don't is a panic move. Dude isn't worth it and won't make that huge of a difference. If we want to offer him a reasonable contract then sure, I'm on board with giving him a shot. If he wants ridiculous money then I'm happy standing pat and seeing what we can afford next off season or in imbalanced trades.

    I'm happy with lots of things, just not a fan of signing this guy to huge money.

    If we can get him for $12-13, party! If it's $18-20, fuck me.

    I'm with you amigo on those numbers, I gotta believe Neil won't bid against himself and there is not much money or buyers left for C's anymore, I don't mind some significant incentives for minutes played

    Ezeli is rumored to want $20M. Doesn't mean that's what he'll get paid. I want $20M as well, doesn't mean the Blazer are just gonna hand me it! Cmon now... You guys are being so insanely unreasonable.

    Him next to Aminu would give you dat defense to clean up for Lillard and CJ's defensive short comings.

    What kind of Nigerian nickname could we have for them, a la Spanish Armada?

    I still don't believe that Gasol or Pachulia were ever targets; and I have just as much evidence to show as those who say they were.

    Thank you Neil!!! Ezeli and Turner together move the needle... Huge upgrade to the defense... After Whiteside and Howard, Ezeli was the next best rim protector. Neil is a great GM, wish I didn't jump the gun so soon to criticize the guy... Patients always wins... Go Blazers!

    I'm pretty happy too if his knees check out, just think of that defense.

    We were going to give Gasol 20 mil and he's about 100 years older than Festus...I think we'll give him 12-14 although he's probably not worth more than 9..which I think is what Gerald Henderson got in Philly
