Any news on the press conference?
Sounds like transactions are becoming official as teams work through finalizing them with the NBA office throughout today...
Free agents can be officially announced at 9PM today.
It's not happening. They're going to play CJ at point so Gary gets more minutes.Unless I’m missing something we’ve got 13 guys under contract. Still gotta deal with Gabriel and Ellebe, assuming Gabriel got a qualifying offer. I can’t believe we’re about to go into another season relying on Simons for minutes.
No one has any money for Hassan. I bet the dude got a 2 year 19 million MLE offer but he thinks it's insulting to him. Will be hilarious if he ends up taking the minimum or a BAE.
A sign and trade would be his best bet, but that doesn't appear to be materializing. He will likely take a 1 year deal for $8-10 million and try his luck again next year.
I wonder if Wenyen and the new CJ will be our two way players?

yeah, 13. I think minimum is 14?
Elleby - two year deal or Two-Way?
Gabriel - ?
If the Blazers are determined the stay under the tax line, they have to be getting real close right now. Probably room for another minimum deal but not the BAE

a sign and trade appears a dead option for him. Blazers might have the margin for 6 or 7 million 1st year salary, but as other have noted, it's really looking like Portland wants to stay under the tax line.
Maybe the best chance is if a team has a 6 or 7 million TPE and are willing to send Portland a 2nd for a Whiteside S&T.

OKC gets a good sized TPE by sending Oubre to GSW. Would they want Whiteside? They just ditched Adams, right?a sign and trade appears a dead option for him.
