When this team Sells the owner will be looking at the asset that is the arena as being a huge part if the equation. I think whoever buys it will be looking to add NHL to the mix for Portland. Let's also consider that Vegas is also a smaller market than Portland.

So we swapped out Baldwin/Stauskus/Swanigan for 2 guys who are bubble starters (4/5/6 in rotation men) and a better prospect fit for this team than Swanigan. How do you think this stacks up for us for the remainder of the season. OKC/HOU/UTA being our primary standings opponents the rest of the...

And we acquired him on the 21st anniversary of the day we traded for Damon Stoudemire.

S2 posters: I miss Bob Whittsitt he always made trades. Neil Olshey: (makes more trades than Trader Bob in less years) S2 posters: I miss Bob Whittsitt he always made trades. Neil Olshey: SMH

Mirotic would be cheaper which equates to an addition based on what would be sent out (likely) Blake would be far more dynamic as he has the ability to take over. He also would cost more just to make it work financially. So the net gain is likely leas Net gain isnt always the best though as...

Downside to having too much downtime

If we wanted Saric he could be be had apparently for a 1st round pick and a player, is the player more for filler? We still have our TPE from Vonleh and Saric's contract is within that exception. Other wise would Trent Jr or Simon's be enough?
