Preseason Game 4 Open Thread

Kitten_tiny by Dave on Comment 685 comments

Here's your open thread for this afternoon's contest against Utah.  Be sure and talk all about the Jazz, the Blazers, and the newly-blooming Steven Hill/Shavlik Randolph tug of war for that 15th spot...because, you know, 15th spots are critical.

If Randolph continues to out-perform Diogu

sign Randolph, trade Diogu for draft picks (I don’t care how far out or how low), and then sign Hill.

Link for TV?

Is there anyway to check this game out online tonight?

Also, I’m getting pretty excited to see if Batum will be able to make the 12 man active roster to start the season. I’m having debates with myself as to whether or not I want him there. The D-League is the only way for him to get significant run, but I also don’t want to see his game style change in anyway.

by as11osu on Oct 12, 2008 8:42 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Of course Nic will be in the 12 man active roster

Raef is out a long time. Martell is out a couple months. The only way Nic isn’t one of the top 12 is if Randolph, Hill, or Jackson is kept on the team AND passes him on the depth chart.

If Batum goes to D-League, it won’t be until after Martell is back.

AND, he’ll get some PT, too. Because we’ll have the occasional blowout win, so even if he isn’t in the rotation, he’ll play the last 5-6 minutes in the blowouts.

I'm inclined to agree

Batum is perhaps the biggest surprise so far of the preseason. Aside from decent defense, he mostly looked lost in summer league play and was close to an offensive zero. But he seems to have left his game jitters in Nevada and has played with composure and confidence up north. Does this show that he’s a fast learner? It’s too early to draw firm conclusions, but there have been times when he’s looked better than TO! He’s a pesky defender, doesn’t need to shoot when the ball touches his hands and from what I’ve been able to see so far, shows improving court awareness. He makes assists. At this stage, he won’t score baskets in bushels as Outlaw can, but perhaps he could already be better in spots where you want someone to focus on shutting down the other team’s small forward and don’t need to worry about getting points out of your own 3.

TO’s safe for now, but he needs to start looking over his shoulder. There’s a long-armed, hard-working, committed-to-developing-a-complete-game, young and hungry French guy waiting in the wings.

LOL

I actually agree with more of your political views than you think, I just really don’t very much like the way you express them sometimes. It’s not even that, so much. It’s that I think you actually make the other guys out to be worse than they really are, and that damages your credibility. There’s plenty to oppose there without stretching things.

And you’re not annoyed by me, you just don’t agree with me. I’m too wonderful and charming and obnoxious and arrogant (in a stupid sort of way) to be annoying. You don’t want to admit it, but you even laugh at some of my stupid jokes. It’s ok, don’t admit it, it will just be our little secret, right?

And most of your basketball analysis is really spot on. And you support the right team. And you didn’t like Darius. So, what’s not to like.

When I was young (old geezer now, practically), girls weren’t supposed to know about basketball. Are you a guy?

Just disproves the old theory about looks and brains being inversely proportional, I guess.

Always knew it wasn’t true, but then I married my wife. She’s always had the looks, but if she were smart, she would have done better than me. Maybe she just settled for me because she wanted someone who isn’t as smart as she is, I don’t know. It wasn’t for my looks, that’s for sure.

Love is blind, I guess.

I know I’ve only recently been around here, but I’ve been posting on the Blazers for 4 years now on another board, and this team is essentially handpicked by me. 7 of our 8 first round picks in the last 3 years are guys I would’ve taken (before the picks were made *not Petteri).

Trade and sign

Apparently Hill really likes the way Randolph signs autographs and a signature trade is awaiting NBA approval. Hill will owe Randolph cash considerations to make it balance out, but we could see them playing under each others name in the very near future.

Ike goes nowhere

until Channing is back and demonstrates he’s healthy and in condition again.

If we can’t get any value for Ike in a trade, he may just be kept around as leverage in negotiations with Channing — “well, Channing, we like your game, but why should we extend you for $7 million a year to play 10 mpg when we can sign Ike for $2.5 million a year? Don’t you think you ought to settle for $5 million instead? We do think you are that much better than Ike….”

Actually, their money level is about the same.

Being the 8th and 9th picks in the same 2005 draft and all.

And extensions with either one would have to happen before Halloween, same as with MarWeb.
So negotiations can’t happen after “Channing is back and demonstrates he’s healthy and in condition again”, unfortunately.

Or, for that matter, until Martell is back.

It's highly unlikely Ike will get an extension this year

That being said, he fills a valuable role on the roster as a back to the basket player and that could be a reason why he stays. Totally different style than Frye or Randolph. Nate said he reminds him of a throwback player straight out of the 80s, and that’s what he likes about him. Randolph is like a slightly worse version Channing or a much worse version of LaMarcus. That’s nice to have, but not something different to change the pace/style of a game.

I'm talking about next year

They’ll likely neither one be extended this year. Next year, only one will be offered a new contract (unless there’s a trade during the season, of course). They are competing for the right to be backup forward on the championship teams.

If we can get something for Ike in a trade (after Channing comes back and shows his stuff), he might well go before the deadline. If not, and if both play reasonably well, the presence of Ike will allow KP to play hardball with Channing’s agent. In that scenario, look for Channing to agree a reasonable contract quickly at the very start of July, and for the rights to Ike to be renounced.

Ah, okay.

RFA negotiations next year.
Gotcha.

Although, I’ve been a big fan of Dave’s premise that any of these guys not extended now
is more likely than not to be traded this season, even if we do aim to re-acquire them in free agency,
if only to dump their cap-hold status during that free agency signing period.

"Mister Oden is a very, very big human being." - Jerryd Bayless

by QualityPie on Oct 12, 2008 10:06 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's possible

I still think Martell might be extended this month. I see Ike renounced, and Channing re-signed quickly next year, so his cap hold won’t be a problem. If Ike can actually earn some market value as far as trades, I could easily see him traded this year, but it just depends who/what becomes available.

You can’t just trade Ike for draft picks, you have to salary match.

Yeah - it's just an unexpected monkey wrench . . .

 . . . that this last stretch of training camp and pre-season, our last opportunity
to get some performance evidence of where they’re at and what they’re worth,
Channing and Martell are both injured, and won’t really be back full-on
until after the extension deadline passes.

The timing just kinda sucks on that.

I think Ike is likely to be watching the games with RLEC

if he isn’t moved before Martell comes back. I would be a fan of an 80’s style (undersized) PF, if said PF would actually demonstrate they could change the game up. I think it’s all a theory with Ike.

Bass, Powe, Maxiell, Maxsap...

The league is full of them—physical, talented, undersized fours off the bench. That type is useful in the regular season but becomes indispensable during the playoffs. KP knows the Blazers need at least one guy like that; Diogu is auditioning for that role. If he doesn’t pan out, I’m sure KP will try another candidate (or two) next season. But I doubt he’s ready to throw in the towel on Diogu so early.

Having said that, every time Ike gets the ball down low on offense, I groan, “Nothing good is going to come from this.”

Like, who is gonna get all the PT?

My guess is that Sergio and Bayless will get a ton of burn, and so will the new guy, Shavlik. Oden will get his 20 minutes and Hill will get the lion’s share of backup center minutes.

I’ll be curious to see if Shavlik can come anywhere close to duplicating his performance from last game. If he does then we gotta conclude he has the inside track on that 15th roster spot.

Does anybody think Oden will lose it one day this season for being hacked and start a fight (or at least in his career)?

A la Shaq? Shaq vs. Barkley fight. Shaq vs. Brad Miller and Charles Oakley brawl. Or does this never happen because he is too calm, and too good of a free throw shooter to get mad about being hacked.

would be nice to see Channing

Rudy and Martell are both out. That leaves us with Batum, Outlaw and Jackson available to play the 3, and Bayless and Roy at the 2. Rodriguez could play PG while Bayless plays SG and either Batum or Outlaw plays SF.

It would be nice if Frye was available to play a little at the 4 while Bayless and Batum/Outlaw are out there. Frye could also play a little at the 3 while LMA and Oden are on the floor. Missing Channing is a major bummer.

Missing Martell is major too. I hope his sensitive disposition isn’t tweaked by this period of forced inactivity.

   Diougu is a likely odd man out too, but injuries have changed things some for sure….I agree with some of the above….Free up some roster spots and take a gamble that Hill and Randolph will have more value in the long run…..It would be nice to get a veteran 3 as a mentor to Batum (He is the real deal and will only get better)
     On Outlaw: I don’t hate him…I just don’t like his play (and the poor preseason just solidifies my opinion on him) His low BBIQ will prevent him from progressing or adjusting)…..We have players on this team that can shoot open jumpers…His value is sinking as fast as the stock market

not quite as fast as the stock market

I think your analysis is premature. Give Travis at least a few weeks in the regular season before you put him out to pasture.

Ok his value is sinking faster than the market in September

But it really wasn’t this preseason that soured me on him….it was, and has been his off season regression…..And I never liked his one dimensional game and lack of team play…So he did not have that far to go for me to think lowly of him….
      He doesn’t understand that this team is looking to get better (and they have)….This might mean (for most players) that they need to work to get to the next level….does Outlaw expect to get better by the end of this season? Everyone else looked like they wanted to be at or near ready at the start of the season…Outlaw has cheated his team and himself and this makes people, like me, draw such a negative conclusion about his worth.

I think it's even more painful because the year after Gruden was let go, Gruden wins a title.

When all is well In Blazerland (hopefully) all seems to be lost in Raider-land. Raider fans are highly annoying and really dedicated, it must be really really hard for those die hard fans. i love the Raiders, but I hardly know why… I just attached myself to a team several years back and it was the Raiders. Now they suck and I cant bring myself to finding someone else.

I'm not really judging him at all.

Not really sure where you get that from what I said. Anyway I’ve been very high on Bayless and still am. That doesn’t mean I won’t notice when he’s trying too hard, and when I do that doesn’t mean I’m judging him as a player for rookie mistakes.

Utah Jazz

Seriously? You’re not NBA fans if you haven’t heard of Hot Rod Hundley. He’s the classic Jazz announcer. He’s “whack” because he’s probably piss drunk and he’s 95 years old. You gotta love it baby!

Anyway, the game can also be heard on http://www.thefansports.com/

True Blue Jazz did a little chat with Blazers Edge if you are interested

www.truebluejazz.com
This Portland team is good. I can see them being the biggest Jazz rival in the Northwest this season.

Let’s hope nobody gets hurt on either side.
