That seems to happen all too often in the NBA, where a guy is expected to be, and paid like a #1 option when he isn't that and shouldn't be asked to be.
I think he worked his ass off to come back from microfracture. He's never going to look like Kevin Willis, but every year he brought a new piece to his offensive repetoire. Unfortunately, some of the other pieces he brought were a Glock, roofies and weed.
Zach would be great off the bench for us, if he had a reasonable contract. I bet Nate could straighten him out.
I am well on the record that AI is absolutely the last NBA player I'd want on the Blazers. When it all boils over, maybe Zach will punch him in the eye socket. Mini gang war to follow.
Of course he could. Because you know how it is, when a player comes to play for the Blazers, they are automatically better than other players in the league. That's just the way it works!
No, Nate would ruin him. He'd stifle his creativity by not allowing him to play in the "European Style*" that he's most comfortable playing. * flashy passes, lots of turn overs, no defense
I think Nate tried, but he was lost by then. Mo Cheeks was a nice guy, but what a crappy coach. That is not a job for someone who wants to be liked.
Not to completely take the thread off track, but I see remarkable similarities between Mo Cheeks and Jim Zorn. So, let's get back to Z-Bo! I bet he gains 20 lbs by the end of the year. Memphis is a great eating town, but not exactly low calorie vittles.
ZBo has looked significantly better than Aldridge so far this season. He's been a better passer, rebounder, and scorer. Just sayin.
Allen Iverson will just have to learn the hard way. This is Zach Randolph's team brah, it doesn't need any other leaders.
