I wonder what Paul Allen thinks of all this. I suspect an awful lot of Neil Olshey's time and effort the past year has been spent buttering up Allen to prepare him for this moment.
If every Blazers averages what they did last year, where are the points going to come from? Dame - 21.0 CJ - - - - 6.8 Meyers - 5.9 Davis - - 8.3 Aminu - 5.6 Plums -- 8.7 Vonleh - 3.3 Kaman - 8.6 Hendo - 12.1 Crabbe - 3.3 Frazier - 4.6 Totals - 78.2 There will be a couple more additions and we would all expect several of those players to have increases in playing time and production. What do you estimate will be the player averages by the end of the season?
I'll bet Damian averages about 24 a game on 40% shooting (maybe even lower) I guess Meyers is probably going to get about 8 or 9 per game and CJ will probably score about 14 per game. I have no idea about the rest.
I'd think a lot of new acquisitions will put up higher numbers in Stotts system. A lot of them deferred to vets with their last team and some didn't play much.
I know he's a rfa but why don't we just swing for the fences and offer Tristan Thompson a max deal? The worst that happens is CLE matches and we're back at square one. I'd rather gamble some more than to settle for Hibbert or Kanter.
Ooh, ooh! I know the answer to this one! Because he's not worth it. The worst that could happen is that we actually get him for that ridiculous sum.
I think there's a trade waiting to happen but I forgot about one important thing. Who are we going to trade?
