he made no difference…Blazers haven’t improved 1 bit from where they were last year Portland was 29th defensively last year, and still have the same trash defensive personnel…unless rookie HC Chauncey Billups is god in a 3 piece suit, he won’t be able to work miracles with this roster
Really wanted Furkman Kormanz. Turkish so he can translate for Segun and decent size and good shooter. Re-signed with the Sixers though…
some of these guys really need to stop overestimating their value Schroder just took a HUGE L not taking that Lakers 4/84 deal during the season. He really thought he was gonna get more than that on the open market? Now he’s busy scrambling for scraps. John Collins is someone I wouldn’t want to give more than 20 mil/yr…ATL is offering 25 mil per…scoop that up and stop playing Boogie took an enormous L turning down 2/40 from the Pelicans. How much has he made since? Has he even been signed yet this offseason? Remember when Nerlens Noel turned down a 4/70 deal from Dallas and has yet to recoup that money to this day?
I like Korkmaz too but I will cut you if you say another word about a different translator for Sengun. There is winning and there is WINNING. Sengun can have both.
The Olympic experience has really exposed how poor a defender Lillard really is. He just doesn't have the edge that you have to have to complete and stop guys. I actually thought the experience would help him improve, but he's just going through the motions and taking his shots when they come.
When your agent knows your rights so well your option becomes China instead of the NBA. To think Donuts paid him to end up in that situation.
You want a dude just because he can speak Tukish so that he can talk to our first round pick who actually can speak fluent English? Have you also suggested to Morey that we should have some girls named Diamond, Angel, Ginger and Crystal as the Rockets cheerleaders while our former MVP was still in the team?
Dame will always be absolutely horrible defensively, but his FO does him no favors with the type of players they routinely surround him with their offseason has been a complete dud…if I’m Dame, I’m asking if they have some big trade lined up that can really improve the team which looks highly unlikely, and if they don’t, I’m officially demanding a trade and telling them to get it done ASAP…might as well have training camp with my new team and not have to pull any antics because I want out but am still with the Blazers when the season starts
My guess is that the writing is on the wall and they know it. They probably chose to be conservative and instead focus on moving assets out if needed.
well mostly for the shooting and wing size part which we lacking. He shot 40 and 38% from 3 last 2 seasons..and he’s only 24..
As a Turkish fan, think what I would do if he came. He signed very cheap contract with the Sixers. Most likely, some teams already wanted him but maybe he may not have accepted because he wanted to be in a more competitive team and did not want to disturb his order.
