    He's going to start again tonight. Nate says "This is his time to shine." And don't forget what Dean Demopolous said when asked about our Big 3 during the offseason. He said we actually have a "Big 4" including Travis Outlaw. He won so many games for us last season. There's no way we win 13 in a row without him last year. The knock on him in Tuesday's game was that he took the stars out of their game early on but that's ridiculous. He only took 2 shots in the first quarter. He's not the blackhole people think. But he is a guy we can go to for scores when nothing else is working.

    Go Travis!!!

    Go Blazers

    I know what Travis is, and I appreciate it for what he is paid. He's a bargain at this point.

    The problem is he takes a shot every time he touches the ball, we will never see if anything is working because he doesnt know how anything works.

    Completely false. I have to disregard your posts from this point forward.

    Completely false. Did you even read my original post, Nate? He only took two shots in the first quarter on Tuesday night. He let the game come to him and still led us in scoring.

    I'm not saying TO is bad, I'm just saying he is not a starter! And he is a healthy Martell Webster away from being third string, getting minutes behind Batum.

    I'll tell you what, Webs' extension and the way Batum is playing tonight against SA doesn't look good for Trout.

    Agreed. Also, TO being 1-5 tonight is not helping. Every time he touches the ball he tries to score.

    Outlaw is struggling so far, yes, but really everyone is, from a shooting standpoint. We need to start making shots.

    Look good in which way? Travis will get another decent contract in the NBA. He'll be fine. The question is, how much is he worth to the Blazers? Outlaw is not a bust, and considering where he was drafted, he is a steal on many nights at his contract.

    Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread

    Nobody is questioning TO about being a bust, no one here thinks that. Also, everyone would agree his contract is a steal.

    But the question you posted is indeed the correct question: How much is he worth to the Blazers? His worth is diminishing to the Blazers with every player we add that has more talent and upside than him, however his value might be a lot higher to another team, and I am one of those that thinks if you can get more for something than what it's worth you do it.

    Pretty classic seeing someone degrade Travis with ridiculous BS in a Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread... on the Blazer Board... and that someone being a Blazer fan.

    I like Trav :smile: Last year and today he's more productive then Martell. Hopefully Batum is better then both.

    Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread

    travis is great for what he is...though anyone who says he doesn't have any black hole to him is kidding themselves. i think he has ALOT of value, just on someone else's team as he's packaged with Raef at the deadline.

    Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread

    If you're watching the game, you know that he has not been a black hole tonight. He has passed the ball about 3 times as much as he has shot it. Probably even more that that. In fact, he got to the line because he passed to LMA and then cut.

    Travis is playing not badly tonight. All within the flow of the game. Watch what he does in the 4th.

    Doesn't matter. The template is set, and and the meme remains the same.

    Batum did his part. Get him out of the game now.

    Of course I was referring to you. Since when has Martell ever had a better season then him? It sure didn't happen last season or ever. Yet you're on this of all threads projecting TO 3rd string behind MW and Batum this season when Martell is going to be out of shape coming off a broken foot and saying ridiculous stuff like Outlaw shoots every time he touches the ball.

    Geez if you're going to throw chum in the water, expect someone to take a bite

    Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread

    I actually think that Travis is looking better this year than last year despite the fact that he is not shooting the ball great (yet). His handle and body control dribbling seems to be 5 times better than it was last year.

    I thought he was pretty good tonight, he took the ball to the hoop more than he usually does. Bit surprised to see he was 2-9, but he still filled the box score defensively
