but not missed

I wish him well.

i don’t know what i’m going to do with his bobblehead

Images of his silly smile and straight eyebrows are flashing through my mind. I will remember him for that game against the clips and the game against the Bulls, that was awesome. He’s an awesome character guy, and if you want to rebuild your franchise into a group of likable professionals, Jarret Jack is solid pick up.

Tom must be missing his favorite booty.

Love it.

My dad and I used to scream “you rock, Jarrett” every time Jarrett played well (which was a lot, no snide comments needed), because everyone else was so mean to him. The people near us started to make fun of us, but we didn’t mind. Not too much anyway.

It was fun.

I didn’t like how you stepped out of bounds every game. But I liked you as a person and an agressive PG. Here’s to our future.

Bayless makes it hurt less, but it does still hurt.
I will miss you Jack, and a few others of us too.

bayless is a straight up tool; jack was the best. im starting a new religion based on his mustache.

I always rooted for the guy, mostly because I root for the underdog, but also because he has heart and passion and works hard. Also, he’s a heck of a good quote—remember the one about going to ESPN headquarters with Al Sharpton?

I really, really, really, really wanted him to be a better basketball player, and he still may be one yet.

And I’m glad McBob gets to play at home.

was always ‘creative’ with the court boundries

his inability to run the fast break. For that reason alone I do not rue his exit. Ironic that I was a big fan of his during his rookie year. But then, I saw the light. I think KP saw that same light …. but Nate never did.

Good luck to Jack though, and I wish the best for him.

honestly, he could move in next door anytime. And the way he accepted and thrived coming off the bench. I hate that he will have to compete for time with that tool Ford.

and what a great dresser he is.

and how he would score the basket while his body was at a crazy angle in the air.

and how he would actually shoot the basketball when he drove to the basket, unlike some other unmentioned point guard on the Blazers.

I’m sorry to see him go. i wish him luck.

Your toughness and heart will be missed.

Who’s GO’s new BFF on the Blazers now that McBob is gone?

Wow, that only leaves Trout and Martell as the only hold overs from the Nash/Patterson era! KP is a G.

Even his eyebrows. No, no – ESPECIALLY his eyebrows.

...but that still doesn’t make it less painful. I liked Jack, a lot. He was the heart and soul of this team. He wasn’t the best player on the court, but he worked his ass off for this team.

but im actually going to miss Jarret a little bit. He was good for an occasional spark off the bench when Travis or Jones failed to provide it

by cups, and whatever else people throw at him. seriously, the strongest memory that I have of jack, was during the spree, he was wining about not being used enough, I had a very cold fealing as i realised his potential to be a selfish cancer. Its like when my mom died, I knew it was coming, and that it would cease a lot of pain, but still cought off gaurd somehow. thats were all similarity ends. I love my mom, I never really liked jack. He did have fire, but with out the talent to justify the very real risk of that said fire turning on us.If I remember right bayless was a high lottery pick before the blazers started liking other lower projected guys like, westbrook{4} ect. so Im happy we got him. but what do I know. I still have hope for sergio. haha

i will miss jarrett though. great personality. BIG personality. hard worker. hard on himself. he seems like the type of person to react to this professionally and use it as a motivation for future success.

He was a big part in the changing of our culture, great guy, hard worker, one of the coolest dudes on the team. I hope he becomes a stud in Indiana.

I, however, will not miss him. I really do wish him the best of luck, he’s a very nice guy. I really won’t miss his a.) poor decision making b.) poor basketball iq c.) all around dumb mistakes (jump in the air with the ball and no plan for pass or shot, STEPPING OUT OF BOUNDS ALL THE TIME, etc…).... Anyway, Best of Luck man, you deserve a long career as a NBA journeyman at the least. I do feel bad for you that you’re going to a crappy team with no future though

Worked hard and had bravery and tenacity attacking the basket. If he’s on his way out, let’s give him his due: he was a legitimate NBA player. He belongs in the league and I wish him the best.

And McRoberts? He’s the man. The absolute Man. I wish him slightly better than I already wished Jack.

At least they’re in the Eastern Conference. McBob can be near his family. Nice.

Thanks for all he has done for Blazers.

Tough player. I wish we could have seen him with two good ankles. I hope he gets a big fat contract and a fan base that appreciates him.

I’m a Jack fan, but this trade was just too good for the Blazers.

He truly wanted to be a Blazer and perhaps he tried to hard. I wish you and McBob nothing but the best. I wish McBob happiness back in his home state.

Best memories … JJ being named as BF by practically all the rest of the team … his going may affect the team more than the fans. All the “And 1”s that he earned by being so aggressive – something many of the other Blazers didn’t do. jksnake may have had it right when he said maybe he tried too hard…

McBob’s passing in Summer League. What a surprise that was and I’m sorry we didn’t get to see more of it during the season. At least he got some playing time in Boise.

May they both live long and prosper (except against us.)

I don’t think JJ is a starter in this league, but if he figures it out a little bit he may become a capable backup

... with this trade. I’m going to be interested in seeing just how good Bayless is. I’m also going to be interested in how fast all of the Bayless supporters turn on him, if it happens he’s no better than Jack after his first 3 years.

At least he good news is that Blake is not likely to lose his starter’s spot.

I loved Jack in college. When Georgia Tech made it to the finals it won me my pool. That carried over to when the Blazers drafted him. At that time there was so much young potential that I believed in (and the way that younger picks were working out in the form of James, Kobe and KG) that I bought my Blazers half season tickets thinking that everyone would be tripping over themselves to get the seats that I had soon. Obivously this was prior to the extensive knowledge I got from the BE. The following season we were worst in the league. I was devastated, but stayed in. Things had to get better, right? Well, here we are now, things have certainly changed direction and I have the best seats you could get in the upper level (or at least close) and I really don’t think I would have bought them if it wasn’t for Jack. I have been out of the country for the past year and a half, so I haven’t seen him not live up to the potential he was touted with, but I know we this was a good decision for everyone. I still think he will be good competitor in this league, and if he shaves a half foot off of his perception of the court he could be awesome. Seriously, I’m not one for such concrete guidelines either, so I can empathize with him. I’m not in the NBA either, and work in a field that there is a lot of gray in. Anyway, I’ll always be a fan of him. Rock on JJ, and thanks for selling me on the sweet seats.

in a way, it’s sad to see both of them go. besides all those jump passes and turnovers, jack was a gritty player with a lot of heart. he’d scrap for everything. the blazers will definitely miss him in the locker room.

as for mcbob, he never got enough playing time to show what he could really do. i would’ve hoped he got 1 more year to show us his potential.

good luck jack and mcbob at indy.

Stay strong in your convictions. Speak out when wrongdoing occurs. Lead by example. Grow as a player and a man. Stay true.

Much Love.

You always played hard. And for that I will be forever grateful. Good luck in Indiana. Take the job away from horrid TJ Ford. And dont get shot at with Jamaal. Be better than them.

McBob. Enjoy home I guess?

I hope he gets better were he’s going. But what a stud bayless is I can’t feel to bad about only losing jack.
