    I wksh we had enough money to at least take a chance on an low risk free agent like Rose. That's what sucks about being over the cap.

    Actually we could have paid him more than that. We have mini-MLE available. We just don't seem likely to use it at this point.

    He's definitely a steal, but as a back up, not a starter. CLE likes to surround LeBron with 3-point shooters so he can break down the defense and find the open teammate. Kyrie averaged 2.5 made 3FG/game last season. Rose averaged 0.2. That's quite a drop off. Rose would be great attacking the basket with the second unit, but as a starter, he kind of just gets in LeBron's way. They both need the ball to be their most effective.

    I'm not disputing the value of the signing, just pointing out that CLE still has a glaring hole at starting PG they need to address (assuming they move Irving).

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Lebron is "tempted" to beat Kyrie's ass if he ever saw him. This shit is great!

    Yep. I think it was a classic case of hey, we are going to cut you tomorrow but if you agree to move the deadline we just may make a trade (of butters for example) that could allow you to stay on the team next season.

    Or of course he could be part of the trade. haha

    I like Patty. He seems like a good dude and a good teammate. Unless he is part of a trade, or there is someone clearly better for the 15th roster spot, I'm fine with keeping him.

    To be fair, even if James did say it, he wouldn't say it on film. Not that you should buy it, but this is the only way it'd reach public ears if it did happen.

    'a source' in this case is as good as nothing. Probably something someone thought he would do and it'd be funny..

    Hey guys I'm from Germany and will be moving to Portland for work soon. And it so happens to be where my favorite team plays!

    Excited to really be part of some sort of blazers community. Can't wait to discuss and debate with you all
