Junk Drawer- 6/30- "That was a bad move, KP!" Edition

Futurama2zh6_tiny by Magnum on Comment 1160 comments


With the beginning of the free agent portion of the off season looming I am interested to know everyone's reactions to summer acquisitions (or lack thereof) will be.  I know there are camps who support Hinrich, who hate Hedo, who pine for Harris and would give up a kidney for CP3, but I'm not interested in who you are supporting, but what your reaction will be if we don't get your favorite target.  

 

Will you quietly lament a missed opportunity?  Will you openly declare that the Blazer braintrust be fired?  Is your motto, "In KP we trust"?

 

Hash it out in the junk drawer.

 

And for you folks who want a little off topic....how about a few word puzzles? Edit: Use number 9 to clue yourself in on the rest. I messed that one up before, soI just put the answer in.

I will be okay if we don’t do what I want. 1) because I think our core is going to improve a lot 2) I trust the management to know more than me 3) I don’t see any incredibly opportunities.

by austinpwnz on Jun 30, 2009 2:05 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I'd be totally chill either way

We got really good management these days, they’ll do a good job. We don’t got McHale or Chris Wallace running us. I want a PG better at defense, but if we can’t get sumthin’ I think I like, I will always give what we DO do a chance to earn my love.

I think there are a few (very few) guys we can bring in that will really help, and I also think Oden’s development is what makes us a championship contender. Who we get this offseason will help, but barring great luck I see a guy only helping, not making THE difference.

Ya know, that popped in my head earlier today, and I remembered thinking I made the post but for some reason I thought I hadn’t.

I cancel posts sometime, and I thought I canceled that one.

But you’re the only guy okay with Hinrich who misspells his name, it was unique!!!!1111

I can accept Mortimer misspelling his name

what I cant accept is Mike Rice continuing to pronounce his name Hind-Rick… that’s a GRRRR!!! for me everytime

I spell it oh so rightly!

Our man Dheepan spelled it Heinrich in a post being pro-Hinrich, and I mentioned it was the first time I saw someone who was FOR Hinrich who also misspelled it.

Usually those who don’t like him, misspell his name.

I'm careful nowadays

I used to mispell misspell, and I don’t even try to spell Kirk’s last name

My reaction...

I would that KP is gunshy and can’t part with his own prospects. Which significantly drops my championship hopes.

Fortunately, all I want is a new starting point guard for me to give KP the pass. Hinrich (make sure I don’t typo it) would be fine, I wouldn’t be ecstatic but I would be satisfied. If we get someone above that caliber, Devin Harris? I would be incredibly excited. I don’t think that’s happening though. The management really seems to like Bayless so I would expect to get an older veteran point guard rather than a just-entering-his-prime-pg. If we got Kidd, Miller, or even Nash I would shrug, and go that’s not bad. I really love watching Steve Nash play though.

I don’t particularly care for upgrading the small forward spot, if an older vet is there for the taking, people are talking about Shane Battier, I would take it absolutely. But I can live with Batum and Martell soldiering the load for us. Gerald Wallace would be sweet as well, he has such a raw aggressive game, would be great having him on the Blazers as well. AGAIN don’t think it’s happening.

Right now though, I’m just kind of irrationally thinking nothing is going to happen this summer but signing some half way decent backup power forward. I would be very sad if that happened. More sad than when we passed on Blair. About back up PF’s I wouldn’t mind having Sheed drop back into PDX, that would be fun, although I feel like there is a big divide about him here.

This is way too on topic and Blazery to be a jd.

Adding to the off topic ness.

I am a huge Larry David fan, I really want to see Whatever Works although it seems like it’s not playing anywhere near here. SIGH. I was not meant to live in a suburb, particularly in Northern Virginia.

I also pretty much finished another painting last night. So I will probably photograph that and put it up somewhere in this thread.

lol funny you say that Neda looked like MJ at one point

And no, I have a fairly distinctive “style” which isn’t really much like the Brandon painting, it’s more expressionist based I suppose. I was going to do a realist painting with Neda, but it looked way too much like MJ so I just went ahead and did my own thing.

I am sorry don't be

Your style isn’t particularly realistic in any of the ones you first included (but really good I might add….just not realism per se) so I made a joke that one of them looked like MJ (because he didn’t look very realistic at the end, sad to say). So when you mentioned that you going for a realistic one, but it looked too much like MJ so you went with your regular style, I found that very amusing. That is all

She was dating one of the producers.

I agree, her character was superfluous and she wasn’t right for the part, but the big money man behind the project said either Barkin is in it, or he pulls his money out.

The age olde quandry

I gotta be somewhere and meet people in 8 hours. I am not tired. I feel like watching a movie, namely Hitchcock’s NOTORIOUS. Should I give in to my desire or TRY to sleep?

One thing I like about Hitchcock is how OKAY he is with super shoddy effects and very artificial looking shots. Obviously special effects weren’t good then, but he was especially okay with bad rear-projections, cheap looking mattes, etc. Almost as if he was trying to make the audience aware that it was just a movie.

Olde-tymey radio or a book on tape is good that way as well

I get what ya mean, if something sounds interesting on the TV, the kid side in me feels like he is missing out and I gotta open my eyes and look up to see what is going on.

I got the radio version of Casablanca, Treasure of Sierra Madre, some stories of The Third Man, and various books on tape that have worked well in the past. Plus, you can keep the room totally dark, which is supposed to be better.

Haha, that's a good idea

I got some Chomsky linguistics stuff that would do the trick.

I used to read every night before going to sleep, but since living with a dame (and being married to her) I don’t because I can’t prolly turn a reading light on since the wifey is sleeping and gets up early each morning. The TV doesn’t bug her though.

As far as something to watch to put me to sleep, a boring old movie usually does the trick. A good one will keep me up all night, an extremely bad one keeps me up as well, but an olde-fashioned boring old movie (like a comedy, which usually suck if they are old) is a surefire sleep inducer.

I really enjoy stuff like the Science Channel, but it’s a good one to sleep to as well. Plus, it pervades your dreams and you get sci-fi themed fantasies, which are fun.

Speaking of "Z"

I am reading The Lost City of Z, by a writer for the New Yorker who is investigating and writing about different expeditions that got lost looking for a lost city in the Amazon. It is non-fiction.

I’ve only just begun and haven’t sat down to read it in one go like I wanna, but it’s cool so far. I am a nerd about exploration stuff. The Amazon is the last unexplored huge area, aside from the oceans.

I liked World War Z too. It was fun.

There is a pool full of mostly Americans nearby. What do you do with a pool full of Americans?

Here is what I have thought about so far:

  • Yell USA! USA! to make new friends
  • Yell “SWINE FLU!” to get an empty pool
  • Yell “Viva La Revolucion!”, just because
  • Yell “who is a Blazers fan?” to make really useful friends (though maybe that probably would turn up more Lakers fans)
  • Discuss the irony of global warming while sweating next to a pool in a country that is notorious for bad weather
  • Find a loud British guy and laugh about the Americans (so far I only found a Japanese guy, and that’s not working)
  • Find a nice British girl and laugh about the Americans (so far I have found the only really attractive ones had some legacy to the colonies, and those are a bit out of my league)

Brandon Bass

I think you let the market dictate everyone else—in other words, don’t buy high on anyone, let the price tags come down.

I get a feeling it's not Bass

Purely because he’s asked for the mid-level exception. We don’t have one to offer (since we’re under the cap), and KP won’t use half the available cap space on Bass.

Unless you think he’s doing it to plant the seeds for a later attempt (so that KP makes sure Bass knows he’s wanted by Portland). Then I may have to reconsider.

I don't think we'll have any deal in place tomorrow,

with any free agent—That’s my guess.

I’m interested to know what impact free agency will have on potential trade partners. I’m hoping that a low demand on free agents shows that it is not a buyers market, i.e. we can get James T Kirk Hinrich for cheap from the Bulls.

by EvilKaramazov on Jun 30, 2009 10:29 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I bet the Bulls need things to clarify before they move Capt. Kirk

Do they get Gordon back? Do they find a different SG? What interest is there in Deng? Etc

by Quik_Baller on Jun 30, 2009 10:46 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah that's a fair guess

The Bulls want the dust to settle before deciding on any trades.

by Timmay! on Jun 30, 2009 10:47 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Makes sense

If they lose Gordon, now Hinrich is there to be the SG.

That would suck for Hinrich, but can’t blame the Bulls for it.

Maybe it's one of those Blazer Myths

But I heard a story that when Joel was a free agent, KP flew to Milwaukee and knocked on Joel’s door at midnight.

by Corvid on Jun 30, 2009 10:31 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's supposed to be true

But maybe Joel wasn’t in Milwaukee?

I wonder if KP waited in his rental car outside Joel’s house for a few hours, just waiting for midnight to happen.

What if Joel was asleep? KP is rude.

KP is sooo selfish

he did that just to make himself look cool when tells the story 5 years later

According to Jason Quick

When KP first knocked on the door, Joel was in the bathroom taking the biggest pooh he’s ever seen, and Joel put it in a plastic baggie and Quick was there and took a picture and put it on his own website, SCATSNATCHERS.com.

OMG QUICK IS GROSSS.

I presume Dumars made the change for change's sake.

Or perhaps this came out when they interviewed the players after the season.

Detroit seems to love coaching changes.

by Timmay! on Jun 30, 2009 10:48 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Strange

They were buddies, and I remember Dumars saying that Curry was the closest embodiment and fit in philosophy to Dumars.

I mean, it was his first year? Was it his 2nd? This year woulda’ been bad for anyone.

Maybe they aren’t friends anymore :-(

by Mortimer on Jun 30, 2009 10:50 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Doesn't make sense to me either

I mean, I presume they’re in for a down year in 2009-10. Dumars knows it, Curry knew it, and if the fans aren’t in denial, they knew it. Why not let the coach work through the bad years?

So yeah, no sense. That’s why I figured something had to go down to cause this change. Perhaps Dumars felt they underperformed in 2008-09 with that group of players?

by Timmay! on Jun 30, 2009 10:55 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's all about the competition for Mark Jackson's services

Dumars sensed that Kahn was about to get him (sensed as in read ESPN) and thought NO… I must have that fine man as MY coach!

by The Arkitect on Jun 30, 2009 10:58 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I would think

Lambieer would get the job before Jackson

I think Jackson is going to be an extreme failure of a coach

I havent heard anything from his broadcasts that makes it seem like he would be good, but when you watch Hubie or Doug something who was in the running for the Bulls job last summer, really know the game inside and out and it shines through.

Jackson, not so much

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

ESPN article said he is unlikely to be considered. Avery Johnson and Doug Collins are supposedly high on the list.

Who gives a rip about alienating Rip?

I hoped Curry used that line, if Dumars DID have a problem with how Curry handled Rip.

Rip is mad overrated, he ain’t nuthin’ but a bag of melted puddin’ pops. That’s what I would tell Dumars.

by Mortimer on Jun 30, 2009 11:08 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't know that it's as strange they fired him

as it is that they picked today. I believe he got the classic vote of confidence at the end of the season. But even if he didn’t, it took until Free Agent Eve for Dumars to decide it wasn’t going to work?

At my office, in the kitchen, there are communal coffee mugs, one such mug is cursed for me

The first day I used it, someone at the office had a seizure and has not been back since. I naively thought nothing of it and used the mug again… the day Michael Jackson Died. I’m not saying these events are my fault, I’m just saying I think the prudent decision is to stay far far away from that mug
