    Gomes had a contract that had a team option on it and the Blazers could have dealt him before the option expired.

    Guess how many Blazer players that play significant minutes have had a usage rate >28 the past 4 years...

    Oh, I don't know, maybe because we have no bench? Maybe because we could use young talent at pretty much every position? Maybe because he could have been had for nothing? Maybe because he could have been used as a trade chip later?

    So your idea is for Portland to pay $ 7.5 million for a 3rd-string SF?

    Who the fuck is going to trade for Beasley? He was given away by Miami to a terrible team.

    He sucks.

    Hell ya I would pay $7.5 million for a 22 year old guy who can play both forward positions and has a lot of talent that he could still realize. The guy was the 2nd pick in the draft just couple years ago. If you can pick someone like that up for practically nothing, you do it. What do we have to lose at this point?

    And he wasn't given away by Miami because of his attitude, they were trying to clear as much cap space as possible.

    And he was given away for jack shit. Plus, he was terrible in Minnesota this year.

    In NateBishop's dreamworld, Beasley is a tax busting 3rd-string SF who is fine with that role.

    A) We didn't have Crash last summer so he wouldn't have factored into the deal.

    B) He can play both forward positions, and as of yet we don't have a good backup power forward.

    C) Batum might not be on the team much longer, so why wouldn't you want another forward with lots of upside?

    Is that a threat? Stay away from Batum's family, Nate.

    The wheels have already been set in motion Minstrel. I'm sorry. I can't stop fate.

    I think Beasley could have been useful coming off the bench for POR.....the bench last year was HOOOOORRRRIBLE.

    Sounded like a threat to me. Why would he say Batum is not long for this team? That was just creepy.

    Laugh at me, an internet thug threatened a player on my favourite team.

    It's even more pathetic now that you don't have access to my IP address. :)

    You're in it now. Tonight was your initiation, and you were a willing participant.

    Soon enough, you'll realize what "stuff" you're in. :)
