Trail Blazers reportedly keen on signing Matthew Dellavedova

We have too many of "his kind" of players on the team already.

 

smh

 

He would probably be our backup point guard/defender off the bench? I like his toughness. Not sure where his ceiling is.

 

Gotta spend that money on something I guess. Honestly though I like him. He's fairly one-dimensional, but I guess he's worth a flier.

 

Is he one-dimensional? Sounds like he has good passing and PnR skills and is a scrappy tough defender. Add on a three point shot and that sounds good to me.

 

He plays passable defense and he can shoot it a little bit. Not sure if I'd count on much more than that.

 

I'd be ok with this. He hustles, works hard and is a good teammate.

 

You may want to see the fa toughness thread. Its talked about there, Sly. Get your edit button ready

 

I love his demeanor on the court.

He got burned in the final two games but you saw his potential in the finals as a tough instigating defensive guard.

The Bill Laimbeer of pg's.

 

I'd love to see this move happen. Dolly would be a great fit for both the team and the city. He's a scrappy little shit with grit and personality. Seems like a great running mate for Dame.

 

Oops. DELLY. Calling him Dolly negates my whole opinion.....

 

I have to say, I strongly disagree with most peoples views of this guy. I think we saw his peak performance in the playoffs where he went all out. I think he will hold the ball too much, is a mediocre passer at best and has a weak outside shot. He is too short to go to the rim regularly because he isn't all that quick, so he will get blocked a lot. I think we have enough guys close to his caliber. Lets see if they show grit before we just write them off. I think Frazier can be just as good of a backup as Delly. I think we need to set our standards higher for a backup PG. Mo Williams type. Mo would eat Delly alive.

 

It may also be, as some have said, a power play by us

 

I wonder if this would sour the chances of doing the Osman/2nd/Haywood deal.

Offering him a deal at or near the MLE would be a predicament considering Tristan is holding out for a max deal.

 

Young, cheap players who overachieved last season?

 

Mo is far and away the better offensive player, but defense??? The only defense Mo recognizes is de one that surrounds de yard.....

 

Now that would be nice.

umm, no, younger cheaper guys with a higher ceiling.

Agreed, but does that mean you would rather have Delly than Mo? I think that's a no brainer and I thin there are a few more Mo's out there we can get that would be better than Delly.
