2020 Free Agency Thread

[Blazinaway]

Suns decline on Kaminsky

 

[B-Roy]

JaMychal Green is going to be a UFA. I'd rather have him on a full MLE than Millsap.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Avery Bradley for the MLE?

 

[Blazinaway]

Celtics’ Gordon Hayward has opted out of his $34M deal for the 2020-21 season and will become a free agent, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

 

[Blazinaway]

Per Woj Oubre likely headed to Warriors

Could be a great fit next to Covington as a SF in our starting lineup. But no way he comes here for the MLE. Has to have an idea that he's getting a decent deal elsewhere. Prolly NY or ATL

OH MY F"IN GOODNESS!

@BobbyMarks42
Golden State tax bill is currently $66M The addition of Kelly Oubre would see it increase to $134M $14.4M of Oubre + $68M in taxes= $82.4M

Shocked that Hayward opted out but someone must be willing to give him big money again. Hope it is not us.

we have no capspace to sign him, don't have right assets for a decent sign and trade, Knicks or Atlanta will likely sign him with capspace only

maybe 100 mil 4 yrs, something like that

So much for tampering rules. Free agency starts in about 24 hrs. Luckily, we are limited with what we can spend.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Avery Bradley for the MLE?

I don't think there's enough minutes for Bradley unless you want to see less of Trent jr.

 

[B-Roy]

Hayward's site is Knick orange now.

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Scalma]

Portland currently has 9 players under contract. Olshey is gonna be busy this weekend.

lol

 

[B-Roy]

Ed Davis to New York.

WTF?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Ed Davis to New York.

WTF?

NY is actually doing some good things!

 

[RR7]

Ed Davis to New York.

WTF?

Seems dumb of NY. Utah clearing salary

 

[B-Roy]

Ed is washed so I'm surprised if Utah dumped him without giving anything up.

 

[B-Roy]

Okay, so Utah actually paid NYK 2 seconds to get off Ed Davis's 5 Million dollar contract.

That bodes well for our 7 million TPE. Means there are deals out there to absorb players and maybe replenish Neil's second round pick war chest.

 

[Scalma]

Will be somewhat interesting to see if Portland extends qualifying offers to Hoard, Brown, and Gabriel today. Gabriel seems like a lock, the other two who knows.

Brown is a lock to not get picked up. Hoard probably will be.

 

[B-Roy]

Actually, that Ed Davis deal was a prime deal for us to make. Ed is a player who knows the system and is loved by the team, plus we get 2 free seconds out of it. There's no one else currently out there with a <$7 million dollar contract that I would see them dumping. Either they figured 2 seconds weren't worth $5 million dollars or they have some other plans with the TPE (like wasting it).

 

[blazerkor]

Is this team good enough to win a championship if we only add bench role players with our money?

No, a team with the Dame/CJ starting back court needs a lot more than what we have to make up for their defensive shortcomings and lack of offensive congruity.

 

[Labinot41]

This is why you take the money in the nba and say fuck you to everybody

[B-Roy]

Gibson is a center at this point. Do not want.

or there was a reason they let Ed Davis go the first time and it still applies.

Unless bigs can shoot?

Are you saying that was a deal we should have made with Utah? Because I lived there long enough to know they will never do anything that they think might help the Blazers. We would be the 29th call on their list.
