Looks like Portland can sign a rookie or someone with one year of experience if they wanted to stay under the tax. I say fuck that and go get someone more proven. Can always dip under with a trade later.

 

[e_blazer]

I’d be inclined to sign Shabazz and call it a day. Wait until the deadline to make a consolidation deal and slip under the threshold. I’m still hoping Olshey has something more exciting than that up his sleeve though. I’m a glutton.

 

[DDolla]

How about Isiah Thomas?

 

[Blazinaway]

Damian Lillard
C.J. McCollum
Jusuf Nurkic
Robert Covington
Zach Collins
Enes Kanter
Anfernee Simons
Nassir Little
Gary Trent Jr.
Harry Giles
Rodney Hood
Derrick Jones Jr.
Carmelo Anthony

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

Since I got one of my guys Giles I am still lobbying for Shaq Harrison

 

[Blazinaway]

Who has cap space/full MLE left

Knicks a LOT and OKC some as well, since Atl offered Bogdan most of theirs is gone or tied up

 

[Scalma]

His waiver status should be clear in an hour or so.

 

[Blazinaway]

question, what "type" players can be offered a 2-way, what are the limitations?

 

[Blazinaway]

yeah, but they'd need to have an extra draft pick lying around...OKC have any?

LOL, OKC likely has the most draft picks in the league over the next 3-5 years!

 

[TBpup]

Philly now with Embiid, Howard and Bradley at C. That's a lot of beef!

 

[Jelloman]

OKC gets a good sized TPE by sending Oubre to GSW. Would they want Whiteside? They just ditched Adams, right?

They have cap room, if they want Hassan, they would just sign him, no need to waste draft pick for a S&T.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Maybe Zhaire Smith can have a break out season. He should get the time to do so now.

[TBpup]

Tatum and Mitchell getting PAID!!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Tatum and Mitchell getting PAID!!

so now they make enough to trade them for CJ straight up!

 

[handiman]

LOL, OKC likely has the most draft picks in the league over the next 3-5 years!

Correction: "OKC likely has half of the draft picks in the league over the next 3-5 years!"

Everything is falling into place.

yes. I don’t expect things to fall apart but you never know they’re official. We’ve seen dealings/signings fall apart before throughout the league.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

DJJ signing announced and official!

He will wear #55.

[Hoopguru]

Both Jones & Covington un-drafted players. Thats cool!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Free agents can be officially announced at 9PM today.

Given how many official announcements are coming thru, this was clearly wrong.

Actually, according to this, contracts can be signed at 12:01 pm EST today, which is 9:01 am PST.

[Buffalo Custard]

Kind of odd. The guy isn't anything special, but I find it hard to believe nobody offered a multi-year deal.

 

[illmatic99]

Team hasnt yet announced Melo or Giles. Guessing one more transaction might be in the works.

Whiteside for Aldridge?

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Whiteside for Aldridge?

If he could still play PF, I would be all in favor of that. Aldridge is way past his prime and is at the point he is best suited to play center. We don't need to shell out an 8 figure salary for a back-up center!
