One thing to say though, now one paid much attention to the Wallace departure.

This last year he behaved like a real pro, and was a true gentleman despite getting virtually no playing time.

Don't you think that's what he expected, though? He also got paid handsomely for his role, and his contract brought Lee to Boston. Mutual benefit.
Sure, I'm talking about the fans reaction. He was a C's for two seasons, and he offered as much as the circumstances allowed. Plus, it's a proven fact he's a great guy - everybody who has met him in person agrees.

Good for Pressey. He will most likely get more PT in Portland with their roster turnover.

He earned another chance with his dedication.

I hope he shoots a bunch of threes when he plays us.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Good for Pressey. I've never rooted more intensely for a 14th man/player of his caliber.

I love Pressey. One of the most fun players to watch I have ever seen.

Some people here seemed to believe he wasn't going to be on any team in the league.

I believe playing behind Isaiah may have helped his game.  He seemed much more aggressive than he did earlier in the season prior to the Thomas trade.  There must have been 4-5 games when he filled in for Thomas where he played as well if not better than Thomas.  Of course, there were other games where he disappeared entirely.  His inconsistency really hurts him.  I'm not surprised Portland signed him.  I wish him the best!

there was nothing wrong with Pressey, he was a good player. his height was/is his only downside. one on one he's just a liability on D. but one on one most players in the league would get exposed. so him being a liability on D was actually a little over-blown.
