Get well soon Joel!!!

Blazers win!

"(Andre Miller) got a steal of a Brandon Rush pass in the backcourt and with a clear path to the hoop looked like he was actually going to dunk it with those 64-year-old legs. I believe that in true Darryl Dawkins fashion he was going to dub it the Miller-Time Pop-Top Rammin' Jammin' That's-For-TiH-and-his-Spammin' Thunderdawg Special. Unfortunately it got blocked. He did get to go to the line off the play at least. So he settled for calling the free throws "TiH Cheap Shots"." - Dave after a 102-79 beatdown of the Indiana Pacers

No more showers for Joel...

I’d rather him be smelly and able to play

Should we trade Joel now

Since he is an expiring contract? $7.5mil could get us a very nice player. Especially if he is packaged with a 1st rounder.

We can't trade him now

It’s past the trade deadline.

Still on the Rex bandwagon.

heck yeah. JPEC and he’s 80% paid by insurance. Teams will want that.

let's try to keep Przy above the bus

and not throw him under it

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

how would that be throwing him under the bus?

I Love Joel, but if he can’t come back from this then holding on to his contract is just dumb. Theres nothing disrespectful toward him by KP trading his contract. If he can recover from this, I’m all for keeping him, if not I’m all for getting better.
