Exclusive 2015 Draft Day

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Dame
Henderson / CJ
Crabbe / Connaughton
Leonard / Vonleh
Plumlee / Kaman

That's our current team, lots of potential for the future.

 

[Denny Crane]

Hence the ? mark.

Blake opted in for his $4M, so that would be roughly the cap savings. The 2nd round pick isn't guaranteed salary at all.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Mason shot 66.6% from the field his rookie season, that is effeciency! And it's a little bit satanic.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Blake opted in for his $4M, so that would be roughly the cap savings. The 2nd round pick isn't guaranteed salary at all.

Thanks! So we basically make up $3.6 million since isn't that what RHJ would've made?

Edit: $1mil that is... The difference...

I thought Blake made closer to 2M?

EDIT: Blake is scheduled to make 2.1M.

 

[Denny Crane]

Thanks! So we basically make up $3.6 million since isn't that what RHJ would've made?

Edit: $1mil that is...

Plumlee's salary and RHJ's are really close to the same. Within a couple $hundred thousand. Pretty much a wash.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Who in the fuck with play SF? Carroll?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Let's acquire more exciting players and then trade them for incredibly boring players! Don't stop now!

 

[Denny Crane]

I thought Blake made closer to 2M?

D'oh. He made $4M with the lakers.

$2.1M.

So that's the cap savings.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Plumlee's salary and RHJ's are really close to the same. Within a couple $hundred thousand. Pretty much a wash.

Yeah, but Blake minus Plumless is $2.6mil. Plus, no RHJ. So $3.4mil or so...?

 

[Denny Crane]

Yeah, but Blake minus Plumless is $2.6mil. Plus, no RHJ. So $3.4mil or so...?

It's $2.1M for Blake, my mistake.

But you had to pay either Plumlee or RHJ either way. Unless you sold the pick before it was taken.

$1.4 + $2.1 out, $1.4 in

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It's $2.1M for Blake, my mistake.

So our savings is Blake's contract?

 

[jlprk]

Mason Plumlee was the 22nd pic in the 2013 draft, so we just traded the #23 pick for the #22 pick. Up one spot for free!

Blake was #38, so:

We traded #23 for #22, and #38 for #41.

We gained 1 spot in the 1st round, and lost 3 spots in the 2nd round. Pretty even.

Crabbe / Connaughton

Plumlee / Kaman

Crabbe, Connaughton, Kaman aren't technically on the roster

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Crabbe, Connaughton, Kaman aren't technically on the roster

Kaman is the only one I don't expect back of those 3.

 

[ripcityboy]

The Blazers are The Kings with crappier weather. I can't believe this franchise.

 

[Denny Crane]

So our savings is Blake's contract?

Seems so.

It's quite brilliant on his part. Dumped a player you don't want and a draft pick that's not likely to turn out for a for sure quality contributor.

FWIW, I think he'll be as good as RoLo for you.

 

[Sinobas]

I think it was a good trade, because Mason is a solid starting center, he's still very young and is on a cheap contract. With the potential loss of Rolo, this is a bigger need. I don't think Stotts would have liked to play a wing who can't shoot. None of the defensive specialists he's been compared to are as bad a shooter. 20% from college 3?? That is really bad!

The #54 pick has been traded by Utah to Portland. The Trailblazers select Daniel Diez, Spanish SF. DX Profile: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Daniel-Diez-6180/…

A friend for Sergio.

 

[BBert]

FUCK... Just make the picks! Stop wasting our time you asshole teams!

I'm sure the teams are all over it, and it's the league that wants their TV show to last as long as long as possible, so they wait to announce.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

FWIW, I believe in RHJ and have long thought he was going to be minimum Gerald Henderson level (which is good at this pick, and I've long thought this before yesterday's trade).

 

[BonesJones]

How has Christian Wood not been drafted yet?!?!

 

[Denny Crane]

FWIW, I believe in RHJ and have long thought he was going to be minimum Gerald Henderson level (which is good at this pick, and I've long thought this before yesterday's trade).

I should have phrased it better. The pick you gave up (RHJ) may or may not turn out as good as Plumlee. I think it's easy to get psyched up during the draft, but look at who really make it. Especially drafted 23.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Woj

The Blazers haven't conceded that Aldridge is gone, but he'd undoubtedly return to a different roster.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Undrafted:

Christian Wood
Cliff Alexander
Robert Upshaw

 

[BonesJones]

Jonathan Holmes, Robert Upshaw, Mam Jaiteh, Christian Wood, Cliff Alexander all undrafted... some serious talent that we could add to our summer league team

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

For the love of God... Sign Upshaw and Holmes as udfa!

 

[TBpup]

For the love of God... Sign Upshaw and Holmes as udfa!

Upshaw as an undrafted FA is a no-lose situation. Elite level shot-blocker on a non-guaranteed contract....perfect!
