How do you feel about a 20:1 FGA to assist ratio?

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Yeah, Jamal had a down year.. but so did Wes, Ray, and just about the entire team outside of LA.
I've never been a McMillian supporter, and not only had Nate seemed to have lost the team he lost the fans here in Portland.
He kept getting passes because of injuries, but in the end Nate just wasn't a great coach.
I'm hoping we stick with Canales for now. The players like him, he's a good guy, he's young, enthusiastic. We got nothing to lose by giving him 2 or 3 years.

Might free up more money to give Ryno and Jameer bigger contracts, I'm guessing. But that depends on who else gets tossed in or out of the trade.

What do you guys think of Phoenix offering a max deal to Eric Gordon, good idea or bad?

Free agent Antawn Jamison, an ex-North Carolina star, will be visiting the very interested Charlotte Bobcats on Thur and Fri,source tells Y!
I don't get it. Jamison isn't Rashard level scrub yet, I'm sure the actually competitive teams would be interested in a cheap 1 year deal. Why the hell would he want to play for the Bobcats?

Since 1980 only one SG has gone number one overall.

Might as well give it a shot, but I'm sure NO will match the offer.

I don't think any team that values shot selection or defense would sign Jamison.

Probably, but for an injury prone player Phoenix's medical staff has to be tempting.

Yeah but teams are interested in Rashard Lewis.

Mavs making big push for free agent Brandon Roy,source tells Y! CLE,MIN and possibly LAL interested.He could meet teams in Seattle next week
Poor Brandy. I don't think he's going to make it.

He kept getting passes because the entire roster was injuried every season... No coach could have coached his way out of that... Not Phil Jackson, not Doc Rivers, mot Canales.
Mac 10 is a great coach. A bit stubborn like his mentor Karl.. But calling Nate not a great coach is basically bullshit..

Rashard's knees are almost as bad as Roy's at this point.

I agree, nobody could have gotten through those injuries over the last few years. We lost our franchise player and our potential franchise player in a matter of a few seasons.
Yet, my problems with go back to before the injuries. His offense is just boring, and he's not good at adjustments.
Huge upgrade from Mo but still, after this many seasons you realize it's not the players making this offense boring, it's the coach.

I don't know what makes Nate so great. He's good but nothing he's done puts him up there with the great coaches.
Blackace

Yeah... Not really feeling "offense is boring" sounds fairly casual to me..
His Sonics were amazing.. And the year he had a near full roster was fair explosive as well

He's had really bad knee tendinitis issues for almost 3 years now. In both knees.
Jamison, while he put up points due to basically being the only offensive option on the Cavs the last few years, is terribly inefficient on the offensive end and was never a gifted defender even in his prime - now, he's basically a matador on D. Still, for the Bobcats, having his veteran presence around will be immensely helpful to guys like Kemba, Henderson, MKG and Biyombo. Jamison, while born in Louisiana, played middle school and high school basketball in Charlotte and, obviously, stayed in-state to go to UNC. He's expressed a desire to end his career in Charlotte as he considers it his hometown.

I'm really conflicted about this BRoy stuff. As a Blazer fan I think the world of the guy, he was great to Portland.. he played his ass off for us even after his knees were in bad shape.
Yet.. coming back a year later? So either his knees aren't as bad as we were told.. or he's going to play through major pain.

Well today I still think he is a 5 thru 8 basketball coach..
I think Doc , Thibs, of course Pop, are better....

How many Blazers games have you watched? Our offense the last few years was pretty terrible to watch most of the time.

Mostly his right and not tendinitis from everything I read.. Had a bruised knee cap

Harris is like a 5.5/10 whereas Mo is a 5/10. Mo is a better fit though.

im a huge roy fan (mavs fan here) and the prospect of him coming off the bench and scoring in buckets, essentially replacing terry, is tantalizing. apparently he went through the blood-platelet surgery kobe had done overseas, and now he's attempting to see if he's got a new lease on his bball life.
regardless of where he ends up, i hope he can still ball.
Blackace

In last few years maybe 80 plus.. Any other questions?
The Jazz could have got Marvin Williams with the TPE.. so essentially they traded Devin for Mo.
just seems strange to me

the mavs have a pretty good medical staff, I mean, chandler has had almost two full seasons since playin for them. I'm sure they won't sign broy if they feel as if his knees will break apart in the first 10 games.
Good thing Shab's won't be a 2 in the NBA. He has the game of a sf.
And tanking for Noel is the worst idea ever. Next year's draft is weaker than the one that just past. Noel doesn't know how to play basketball. Drummond is better prospect than Noel.

What kind of deal should we offer Jamison?
2 years, 15 million, is that fair?

Veteran minimum?
I wouldn't give him more than the vet min, honestly. He'd be nice to have for mentoring purposes, but as I posted earlier, he's probably only got a year or two left in the tank.

The wing class (2 and 3) likely declaring in the upcoming draft is pretty good. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see one of them go number one.
If he'd sign for the vet minimum that's a no brainer deal for us.

Well, then you have a good grasp on our situation.
I don't blame Nate for our failings, it's been a rough run events. I just never liked his style of coaching. I don't like his rotations, and he took far to long to change things up this season when it became clear things weren't working.
Nate will be fine though, he'll end up with a better team in the short term than staying here anyhow.. and again Nate had lost the fans. Portland fans are ridiculously loyal to our players and coaches.
Agreed. I think we might offer him a little more so as not to insult him, but I hope it isn't much more:

Could be... Just was saying that since 1980 only AI went one.. And he came in a PG

Again.. His rotations were limited by drafting Oden, and signing scraps like Failton, Wes, and Crawford...

Magic should be tanking, not trying to compete post-trade.
Lowry/Martin/ Forward #29384 and picks may not be great, but its better than Bropez and Brooks unless Bropez's contract is cheap or short. Bropez is getting paid in this post Asik world.
dump Hedo and Redick for some prsopects and a pick or two. Let Ryno and Jameer leave, Package JRich with Dwight for Bynum, Steve Blake and Glock. Then Tank.
Blake

Davis
Bynum
Now that's a tank.
After Two or Three years you should have some nice prospects.

Jamison would accept a reserve role in Charlotte, he's not as ego obsessed as that blurb makes him out to be. And ouch at Kemba's TS%, I hope he gets a lot better this year.

If they really want to tank then the Rockets make the most sense. Best combination of young talent, draft picks and cap relief.
