Interesting. So they're not bringing over their British PF/C Joel Freeland? First round pick + rights to Freeland? More assets to package.
Patterson is a fantastic option at center. Stop the hate. It would be great to see him on a team where he can have a greater role.
Too bad he didn't spell complement correctly. He used it in the wrong context and put 'compliment'. Pft. Amateur.
Coming out of injury, Ppat has star potential. Don't trade him especially at a time his stock is so low with too much upside.
They are going after Blair, PPat is not as effective as Blair, especially for the price. Nice one Poutland.
As a Brit I've always wanted to see how Freeland would do in the NBA. I've never even seen him play in Europe to be honest though...
give them ppatt morey. he's average and will never be an elite. a good backup but our roster is filled with them already. good to release another forward. DMo's here anyway, hell have less playing time.
I truly believe he has All Star potential but the Rockets don't have the team for him to realise that next step. Fantastic for Portland as they retool around Aldridge. Fantasic for the Rockets if there's an unprotected pick involved.
Hmm, it appears this option is now bust. No first round pick for Patterson from the Blazers. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ot...rtland-joins-NBA-Portland-Trail-Blazers.html?
