Please let the Elleby/Blevins era be done. For the love of peach baskets, what was Olshey thinking?

As an aside, I flipped the radio on yesterday and heard Dan Marang predict that the Blazers were going to re-sign Ingles to a contract in the 12-15M range.

Am I wrong that that's one of the most ridiculous Blazers-related takes ever postulated by a local purported media member?

If it was accurate, it would be ridiculous that Blazers would pay that much.
 
Congrats to Danny Marang with his new gig on the afternoon 1080 The Fan show. He's come quite a ways from being a poster on this local forum. Good timing with FA'cy coming.

 
Haynes reiterated ours and Dallas' interest in Thybulle. Team is trying to move Bledsoe, but if they can't find any deal, they'll waive EB.

Also mentioned Cousins, McGee, Biyombo, Ibaka, and Tristan as backup center options.

Cousins would have Dame written all over it. Not a bad vice Nurk either. But idk why Denver wouldn’t re-sign him he fit well there.
 
More from Haynes: Main priority still is to find another wing. Looking for a versatile defender. Keep an eye on Phoenix he said (CAM?!!).

i'd like any of those guys for the minimum over a full MLE for the guys often bandied about (Hartenstein/Bamba/etc).

Eubanks for the minimum too if we can't get the others. Then spend the MLE on a defensive wing like Kyle Anderson.

Cam would be the best trade acquisition since Nurk

I have been harping on Cam since December.

Can absorb him right into our RoCo TPE, or trade them a cheaper contract like Keon if needed, along with a future first.

Cronin would be completely absolved of any mistakes from the deadline if he could pull this off.

Dang. Was really hoping for Hartenstein.

I'm pretty sure that the Grant trade we just pulled off was way better than the Nurk trade. Nurk was an upgrade from Plumlee but Plumlee was really good. We just got Grant for another team's future first and future seconds.

People are really sleeping on this guy. It's crazy. I get it, he was inefficient when he was the only player on his team that could score. That won't be the case here. The dude can put the ball on the floor and score at every level, he's a solid passer and historically he made his name as a really good versatile defender before he played on a team that was actively trying to lose every season.
 
I'm not as high on Ingles as a lot of you are. I just don't think he'll be very effective coming back from an ACL this season at 34-35 years old. Just ask Jamal Murray

I'm also not convinced about his trade value as an MLE level salary.

but considering that I have almost never believed the Blazers would make a full-MLE offer because of the hard-cap factor, I can see the 'value' of assembling trade chips like Ingles on a 6-9M 1+1 deal plus a tax-MLE player and the two TPE's of 6.6M and 3.3M. Bringing Hart and Winslow into the mix really amps up Portland's trade assets (although I'd hate to see Hart traded)
 
This team is fucking idiotic. And cheap. They do this after doing the same with a lottery pick in Smith.



After reading that piece on how Jones handles the draft, I'm even more convinced of how dumb they are.

I have to believe that Ingles' game is much less predicated on athleticism than Murray's is. I have no doubt that Joe can still bomb 3's even with questionable mobility.

There's something to be said for making more than 75% of your field goal attempts having per 36 numbers of 12 points (on that kind of efficiency) 12 boards, 2.5 blocks and at least a steal. That's a pretty solid big man... some might like that more than Nurk to be honest... especially because he's more switchable on defense... still not mobile at an ideal level but definitely more mobile than our guy. So I'm not absolutely hating Nurk's deal but I'm definitely not hating this deal either.

analytics are ovverrated, im not sure why people are obssessed with it

if were talking about efficiency, gobert is efficient and wouldnt it make sense for utah jazz to give him more shot attempts compared to mitchell or bogdanovic

if efficiency means best player on offense, then he should be their 1st option, wouldnt you agree and same goes for robinson

players like that are easy to take out of the game in the playoffs and poor gobert hasnt had success on defense (in the playoffs) lately either

Why even use draft picks if you don't give them cheap option years?

They should just trade their picks away.

Please no, to Dipo.

DDV's option got declined by the Kings. That's a guy who would fit very will with us.
