Turkoglu agrees to terms with the Raptors.....i think

[0cks]

Don't see why they made him a priority. He doesn't play offense well off the ball and there is too much overlap with what he and Roy do on the court.

 

[Sam Darnold Heisman #8]

overrated signing. he doesnt shoot for a high %, he needs the ball in his hands like roy to be effective, and he plays lazy minimal defense.

I agree that Hedo doesn't do much on the defensive end, but he's not a liability. I don't think he needs the ball in his hands all thetime, but it would solve their problem if they are trying to get rid of Steve Blake. I doubt he'll be the same player, because he fit the Magic'ssystem so well.

 

[verdykt]

Damn. The division is getting tougher. Denver already passed us and now Portland looks to be doing the same.

 

[scoopem]

steve blake is the glue that holds that team together. they can't trade him

 

[airmaxpenny1]

This is one soft %+# team

...not a single person except for Roy who evenlooks for contact

just what they needed, a veteran....

Blake
Roy
Hedo
Aldridge
Przybilla

off the bench
trav, batum, bayless, oden, rudy, frye

im calling it...
theyre going to the west. conf. finals...
i know, its too early...but i called it...

channing is a FA, and rudy wants out now. theres rumors that the blazers want to trade blake+travis too.
imo, trade blake+travis for something. put bayless into the starting lineup, and let him develop with hedo and roy. there wont be any pressure with roy andhedo being the main playmakers.

And I hope Hedo works out for the Balzers. Very sick young team.

 

[brendanmaguire]

He should have stayed with the Magic, but a good move for the Blazers.

 

[23mcpizzle23]

[goldmember]

Nice pick-up POR..

Hedo and Roy

 

[vendetta]

[TheGodFresco]

I couldn't find any good gifs so I'll just hit you with the

Anyways I don't think Rudy will stick around, it sucks because he was very exciting to watch this season

 

[mateen cleaves]

Blake is a bum, they better try and get Miller or even Bibby. Bayless isnt ready to run the point sadly.

 

[srvballer]

I may be in the minority but I don't think Hedo makes them THAT much better nor does it put them over the top...

 

[goukiteg]

I don't understand why the Blazers have a win right now mentality considering they have one of the better young nucleus in the league.

When is the last time "a great young nucleus" panned out????? Think about it...

 

[541 exile 562]

I'd like to see a starting line-up of :

PG/SG - Roy - Bayless
SG/PG - Rudy - Webster
SF - Turk - Batum
PF - Aldridge - Pendergraph? Another FA signing?
C - Oden - Przybilla

I suspect Blake and Outlaw will be dealt in some way or another this off-season, or at least they should be. There was a lot of talk about the deal withTurkoglu being a sign and trade so maybe those 2 would be included.

I think people will be more surprised by how the team will just be an average playoff team in the West.

 

[DYNAMICS]

So Blake going to the 76ers for Andre Miller fell through?

Guess Rudy's going back to Spain.

they need an veteran with playoff experience to help lead them.
