    Nik Stauskas , uh OK. But it seems to me he could hardly consistently get minutes wherever he was. I will have to go look up his shooting statistics and compare them to Ellington's. Blazers need a deadly shooter off the bench. I hope he is that.

    Looked up the comparison. I was right about Stauskas not playing much. Shot 40 % from 3 pt. (1st time in career),but was mediocre from FT line. Ellington has been in the League for 10 years,, but played a lot more ,and shot 39 % from 3 pt. and is a better FT shooter. I guess we will see. Meh.

    Certainly there have been some highlights (Dame 1st Team), but this team hasn't won a Playoff game in the last 2 years. They were the only team in the Playoffs this year to not win a single game. Upsets are one thing but when is the last time a team with HCA got swept? Pretty rare.

    Purgatory.

    Yuyuza was not alone. Yuyuza was right.

    If Olshey lacks the talent to sign a starter, then we all expected him to re-sign 2 existing stars (Davis and Nurkic). Ed Davis is our best substitute (whose quiet rebounding of Stotts system stupid shots allows the guards to play wildly and take the glory).

    That's why this is shocking. Instead of a rush to sign our Sixth Man, we saw a rush to get rid of him. Olshey's priorities are the exact opposite of what they should be. He accumulates guards and gives away non-guards. Here's how someone put it: "The Blazers...value the wrong players."

    Stauskas is awful at everything except shooting 3s.

    All of the free agents Olshey was interested obviously didn't offer valet parking, so he circled the block a few times and then left frustrated.

    Thanks, should be enough time to wait to LBJ to get settled, and get leftover scraps.... which I'm pretty sure is out plan.
