My contempt for Nash grows....
Webster is bumped to NBDL? Wow.... So that's how bad of a draft pick we got.
We had the NUMBER THREE draft pick and we wound up with Jack at the 20-somethingth pick and some dude who needs to go to the NBDL for minutes??
I know I harped on this before, but now it's really really hitting home.
Nash truly sucks.
Chris Paul continues to dominate and we wound up getting a guy who is not good enough to get NBA minutes on a Blazer team that doesn't have any elite or semi-elite guards (except for Dixon MAYBE). Why can't he get minutes in the NBA? The league he declared himself eligible for!! He's down playing against scrubs? Wouldn't it be more valuable for him to be practicing and traveling with an NBA team and playing against NBA level competition?? Of course not. Because he's not that good.
We have Rasheed Wallace. We trade him for terrible center and give him a huge contract.
We essentially had Chris Paul but traded him for an NBDL player.
Nice.
Man..... I know, I know.... people say I must be patient.
Oh I'll be patient. I'm patiently waiting for Nash to let go. The Blazers won't win the championship until we have a GM with a winning vision.
It's not that Nash got unlucky. He made flat out bad decisions. It is to no one's surprise that Paul is good.
Man.....
Go Blazers. Watch Bones.

Re: My contempt for Nash grows....
So Eric, how's life living high on the hog? Remember you agree'd to let me be part of your possee if and when you became famous. purely platonic, remember...
you like being on TV more than stage or the silver screen?
You should see if you can send us little messages..well, obviously we're low on the list of who you'd send messages to (as I'm sure family, loved ones  and other people rank much higher than we do)..
I stil think you should see if you can make them make you a Blazer fan.

Re: My contempt for Nash grows....
I can understand your frustration, it's not like we're on a 4-game winning streak or anything.

Re: My contempt for Nash grows....
Webster is barely 18 years old. Fer God's sake, lay off the kid. You want him to be a superstar right out of the gate, it isn't going to happen. Didn't happen with Kobe, didn't happen with MJ. Give the kid a break, and let him become the player he's going to become without you all destroying him before he has a chance.

The thing with Webster is that I don't see alot of potential in his game. In my opinion, if he wasn't picked by the Blazers we would have dropped maybe even to the 20s because some teams had Green ranked higher than Webster. Did Webster decide to enter the draft because he was promised to be picked in the lottery by the Blazers?

Do you think any of us have any impact on Webster's game much less have the ability to destroy him? Martel will be become the player he is going to become regardless of what we say on this board.

Hahaha hilarious. I've never watched Bones but if it's getting good reviews, gets picked up for the second part of the season, and is now following American Idol, it can't really suck that bad can it?
