Quarrel between Sergio and B-Rex.

just like ike is..

they need to work out and be ready when they are needed (and never getting PT makes that harder) and they are responsible for pushing the rotation guys.. which i say is happening..

good hard practice..

There is no question that Sergio is playing tougher and with more aggression off the ball and on D this season, some of that must correlate to the fire and physical play bayless is bringing to practice.

So this is someone reading Quick’s post then extrapolating, which, in my opinion, is unethical.

I appreciate the info. I was a little confused as to what all the confusion was about.

I thought it sounded an awful lot like Quick’s article but twisted.

He studied abroad there (or studied a broad there perhaps :) in college and now is a closeted Sergio homer.

Jim Taylor is a flack and wouldn’t care. The security guy was probably eating donuts. And Quick wouldn’t want to give up the story to Marca.

Therefore, it must have been Lance U., aka The U.

Did I just extrapolate my theory from the evidence? Maybe I’m Marca… hmmm.

He who throws chairs must be a reall a-hole.

Like the saying goes, You practice hard, you play hard. I’d be pissed if they weren’t going after each other’s throats. They should practice to win, who cares if someone gets popped, that’s basketball.

I don’t think it’s a problem per se.

he’s struck me the same way. I don’t have a problem with him being the way he is as long as he doesn’t cross the line. Theres nothing wrong with playing hard and agressively…but in the end these are your teammates. I know its not a fair assessment, but from the way bayless carries himself and the way he plays, it seems as if hes more concerned with himself rather than his teammates.

……………………….. Sergio is making less than a million bucks (=NBA peanuts) and just got team-extended for another year. It’s totally cost free to keep him around. His assists numbers this year have already increased his trade value from essentially zero to a decent ancillary piece. At some point Marty will be back and then it will be time to make the big call Marty/Travis/Nic — pick 2.

If KP decides to go for an experienced PG at this time, then Sergio becomes very expendable as a toss-in player (the team still having Blake as an “experienced backup”). Or, if KP is REALLY liking the guy he gets, maybe he cuts the cord with Rex (also known as the Jermaine O’Neal II Scenario) — since Rex would have HUGE potential value to a trading partner, as opposed to the known (flawed) quantity that is Sergio… So the hammer will probably fall, one way or the other, as soon as Marty is fully back — assuming no additional injuries, etc.

I can’t imagine the Blazers giving up on Rex before even giving him a chance to play though. That strikes me as highly unlikely. They would probably, in an ideal world, like to sit him on the bench and keep the tool in the toolbox for next year — he just starting his rookie contract and all, and is essentially a college sophomore this year…

The other “odd man out” is Frye, who is going to be squeezed by the move of Outlaw to the 4 for significant when Marty comes back… If KP decides NOT to move either Outlaw or Marty this year, then it’s Frye who will go bye-bye at the trade deadline. Frye represents a big cap-hold this summer, I understand, and he’s the one guy of the above not already under contract for next year — so I wouldn’t rule this outcome out.

All of this has been said here before, many times by many people.
