Notice 2023 Blazers Free Agency

[Mediocre Man]

keep in mind, I was just getting over the suggestion by MM that Tyrese Maxey might become a Blazer. He's actually under 6'3

Would not stay a Blazer

 

[Pinwheel1]

Dame, Lauri, and Kessler are not contenders. Plus those two Jazz players are the only thing they have other than picks that we would want back in return. I don't consider them a trade partner either.

Looks like Toronto wants in on the Dame sweepstakes...they could offer a way better deal than Miami that would include OG and several picks and players.

I would want Barnes over OG. But what other salaries + picks? Boucher, Tad, Porter…not many big salaries after Siakam, Trent, and OG.

Last year I wanted Barnes and FVV with a pick and people hated it. With the idea we would move FVV for picks elsewhere.

Barnes would be amazing. Doubt the Raps would move him though.

Only for Giannis or some shit. And they’d want picks too lol.

probably long enough to grow to 6'8

 

[DDolla]

We got a new Center: Edy Tavares. He’s tall, old and cheap. Jody’s kind of player

 

[Cugel]

man what a pick up. thanks joe.

that signing doesn't even warrant it's own thread. plus he wasn't cheap

"Stipulations in Tavares’ contract with Real Madrid make an immediate move to the NBA costly for the franchise that signs him, Urbonas reported.

The biggest obstacle to the deal is the massive buyout clause imposed by Real Madrid, which was included in a five-year contract signed in 2019.

Per BasketNews sources, the NBA buyout for Tavares is even higher than the €6M that Facundo Campazzo had to pay in 2020 to secure his move to the Denver Nuggets.

The more than 6 million euros required for a buyout is equal to over $6.5 million in U.S. currency. If Portland wants to avoid that extra price tag, Tavares’ contract is set to expire in one year, so the Blazers could sign him with no buyout needed in the summer of 2024."

 

[Kell]

Did Portland officially agree to terms with Tavares?

 

[Mediocre Man]

probably long enough to grow to 6'8

That would solve a lot of problems

 

[glazeduck]

Did Portland officially agree to terms with Tavares?

I've been wondering the same thing. Neither Spotrac or NBA.com show Tavares or Hall as signed with us.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Did Portland officially agree to terms with Tavares?

I don't think so. Just said they "offered" a contract. Would be kind of strange signing; he is 31 years old.

Interesting nugget...

https://www.nba.com/players/free-agent-tracker/2022

NBA.com's team tracker shows us having signed Devontae Cacok. Cannot find any "news" of that anywhere, but a cursory google search of his name pops up a couple other sites (realgm as one) that also shows him as a Blazer.

Is that something we should get excited about???

Per/36, he averages 12.5 rebounds for his career and has an insanely good 103 defensive rating. GAME CHANGER!!!!

Cronin made this team so bad since taking over, any future improvements will look like massive upgrades.

That's what you need to do for a remodel, sir. Putting fresh paint over mold covered walls is not the solution.

Brilliant strategy.

To be fair, they weren't exactly bowling opponents over when he inherited them.

I’m not seeing anything about it when I click. Also the end of your link says 2022.

Look at the Suns… they’re All In to win it.

They have Durant. They have Booker. They have Ayton. They just got Beal (which I think was a mistake.)

But there was no Durant on the market this summer.

And the Blazers didn't Bridges and Cam Johnson to offer in a trade.

We might have been able to make a good offer for Durant THIS summer, but not last summer.

 

[e_blazer]

Edy Tavares? Other than what it says in the article, I know nothing about this guy. Any of you Euro League fans want to chime in?

Absolutely. It mean JoeCro want less Dames and more Cacoks.

Yep, looks like there's a bad link somewhere in that page that diverted me back to the 22 class, good catch.

FALSE ALARM FOLKS. APOLOGIES FOR HAVING TO GET UN-JACKED ABOUT SIGNING CACOK...

 

[LayneStaley]

Think we shoulda gave up 2 2nds for Martin.
