Of course, more often than not benefit from them more than from a hole in the floor, but sometimes they can and bring blessing. There are many examples do not need to - the case of the "Portland" stands in front of his eyes. already can not remember how many times over the summer Lamarkus Aldridge said that it all suits in Oregon and anywhere that he is not going away. However, the rumors do not stop such a simple way. Over the past two years the weather forecast we have heard less often than rumors about a possible change of residence leader, "Trail Blazers." All the more so in recent times (read: immediately after the "regular"), they became much stronger. It's the wonder: after only 33 wins in 82 meetings, and the 13-game series of defeats in the endgame, Aldridge looked like he stood a dozen rounds in a battle with the garbage truck. At the same time not lose the ability to think - and bluntly admitted that season turned out a failure. Not surprisingly, after the diagnosis of rumors about a possible departure Aldridge fell down with a bang. Someone said that LaMarkusa become boring city itself - and to work in this situation he was tired. Other broadcast that giant close to the transition to "Chicago" or "Dallas". Still others claimed that the leader of the "Trail Blazers" almost in the form of an ultimatum asked the leadership of the qualitative changes in the composition. Fourth almost gave a hundred percent guarantee that Aldridge will replace the club, while his younger colleagues at the workshop tried to force in the Summer League. On the one hand, no sensible person would not take the rumors of reliable information (with a few exceptions of course). On the other, the flow of unverified information willy-nilly forced the Nile Olshi active. World of professional sport makes to think ahead - and general manager certainly does not forget about the summer of 2015. End date of the contract Aldridge. Examples of how a small-market clubs lost their stars and fall into the quagmire of the standings, is easy to find - here and "Cleveland" and "Orlando" and "New Orleans." That such hardships are not descended in Oregon, Olshi had to act. Decisively and without delay. Blago "Portland" did not need to build a team from scratch. On the contrary, the team in the last season possessed a pretty decent frame - apart from Aldridge, it is worth mentioning the best beginner Association Lillard , progressive Batyuma and combining game soundly in their half of the pitch with a stable long-range shot Matthews . In general, the starting five of the club and did not yield to the individual participants of the playoffs. Another thing - the reservists. Even though there are some interesting characters ( Leonard, Claver, Freeland ), "skameechniki" collective rightly earned the title of worst nepochetnoe reservists association. As a result, because of this increased load leaders. Take a look at the statistics of the previous "regular." In particular, in the minutes spent on the dance floor in the middle of the game. Among the nine players leading in this grueling nomination, just three (!) Argued for "Portland" - Lillard, Batyum and Aldridge. Naturally, in such a conjuncture can not avoid recessions, what we have seen in the end of the championship. As a result of frolicking in the sea off season Nile Olshi not require any whales or even pike. Even with the loss of a forced Hickson , to enhance the composition of the team would be enough and a few trout. The main thing that edible. Now, as part of the team manning the NBA is almost completed, fishing guide, "Portland" is definitely considered a success. And it is only in the public waters Olshi not find prey! At the NBA Draft by the 10th number, "Trail Blazers" took CJ McCollum . Promising sniper implemented in Students League last season already 51.6% three-point! And it is at average 5.3 attempts per game long. More - more. Migrated to Oregon and Robin Lopez , able to close the position starting centering. Came under the wing of Stotts also Dorell Wright , more recently, stable output from the first minute in the form of the "Golden State", and in the last season, even defending the colors are not the most presentable, "Philadelphia", scored by 9.2 points per game. Finally particular attention paid to the couple Olshi outcasts. The first of them - Thomas Robinson , who only debut season in the league had to be noted in the form of the two teams. These should, in turn, did not disclose, and 20% of the true potential of the fifth issue draft pick in 2012. Yet the attacker, and sometimes headless basketball taught by "Houston" and especially "Sacramento", industrious little fit and universal "big." Finally, and most recently a two-year contract with "Portland" sign Mo Williams . Explain the student filfaka laws of thermodynamics is easier than to understand how the defender until early August remained without a club. Especially since the salary for a player of this level, to put it mildly, ridiculous - at least 2.7 million "green" in the next season. "Acquisition of complete. now ready and the fun part - just basketball," - said after the signing of the Nile Olshi Williams. And, in principle, can agree with him. Transfer campaign, "Trail Blazers" is now complete and successful - because now Terry Stotts for each position there for two good-quality performer. A luxury that the coach could not afford in the past season. course, summer does not gain turned "Portland" in the challenger for the title or even getting into the top five best teams in the West. But the continuing decline in recent years, seems to have come to an end. Now at a slightly updated the team is only one way - up, at least in the first round of the playoffs. For another reason for Aldridge.
