This is cool

I didn’t know we could just make stuff up and then say the Blazers should have done it.

WHY DIDN’T THE BLAZERS TRADE SERGIO AND FILLER FOR DERON WILLIAMS WHEN THEY HAD THE CHANCE?

I think the Blazers should have offered me a $12 million dollar guaranteed contract.

And then traded me and filler for LeBron James.

I don't think they had the cap space to sign you

Should have traded Roy to OKC for some cap space.

Why didn’t they do THAT?

Now that's coming up with a post that's worthy of our time to read.

Well done.

Rec, and I’m jealous that I didn’t think of suggesting a $12 million deal for myself.

hakkaa päälle !

I love David Lee.

Something about him I can just really relate to. He’s such a hard worker, has an amazing IQ, great teammate, locker-room presence, some other white guy cliche, etc, etc, etc….

I don’t know if he’s better than Aldridge, but he’s definitely shorter.

There's a ton of these

skinny dippin’ in a sea of lee

They mostly highlight how horrible Lee is at defense.

I wish they had gotten Lee also...

Then you have a big rotation of Lee, LMA and Oden… with Lee splitting time at the 4 and 5 and Pryzbilla thus dispensable.

by Escrote on Dec 2, 2009 11:55 AM PST reply actions  

neither LMA or Lee are "centers"

unless you’re talking about a “small” lineup that wouldn’t rebound (or defend the paint) well enough to win a playoff series

When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!

by two4larue on Dec 2, 2009 3:38 PM PST up reply actions  

we tried to sign him.

I wish he’d accepted our offer, but he didn’t.

'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.

by jksnake99 on Dec 2, 2009 1:25 PM PST reply actions  

Didn't he have a day to sign?

I’m pretty sure we verbally offered him but limited him to a day to get back to us because we didn’t want to lose out on other prospects.

Being a Blazer fan is not exactly healthy.

by dpnim on Dec 2, 2009 2:36 PM PST up reply actions  

If I recall correctly ...

… Lee thanked Portland for their interest, but declined on the grounds Portland couldn’t promise starter level minutes.

It was the smart business move for him. He knew that his chances of getting a better deal will increase next year and by staying with a Knicks team where he would get the minutes to generate good numbers, he greatly improves his odds at a better dollar amount next year. He would not have had good numbers playing with Portland. Look at how people here are knocking Roy because he doesn’t have “all-star” numbers.

David Lee? Haha. Why do good players on really bad teams get so much hype? They get good stats on horrible teams.

Some guy was saying Rudy was trash at a preseason game, and we should have traded him for David Lee. Haha yeah right. This was a game Rudy had like 11 assists by the way.

Calm waters. Stop with the knee jerk reactions before you hurt someone.

by BRoyInThe4th on Dec 3, 2009 4:05 AM PST reply actions  

Just wait until the off season

When everyone loses out on Bosh, Wade and LeBron someone is going to pay Lee twice as much as the Blazers could have paid him.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
