1) Yeah, obviously Olshey wouldn't trade for Iggy if he's not going to report. I never said he would as I was just raising the possibility that it could be a factor.

2) Dallas is not in the luxury tax and wouldn't be after this trade so no other salary is needed to make it work. I wouldn't have put it in my post if it didn't work.

3) Yes, I'm aware of 3 team trades and other players being involved but it just isn't going to work in this situation unless we overpay by adding a 1st as long as other teams involved can offer better packages.

Thanks for the clarification. It makes more sense now
 
I think it would be better to trade Bazemore for Gallinari

that way, we could spend the rest of the season saying Gallo and Melo

Here're some Iguodala highlights from Last Season, not 5 years ago. I don't see an age problem, just problems for guys that are trying to score on him.

I like Iggy, but highlight videos like this are so deceptive. Give me 5 minutes and I could make Bazemore THIS season look like LeBron!

Iggy is a lot more Lebron than Baze is...guy won championship MVP with defense....when's the last time that happened? Which guy do you want guarding Kawhi or Lebron....Baze or Iggy?
 
Baze is a great defender...he's also an expiring contract

Yes, you could. The highlights aren't meant to show his average , it's meant to show that he's physically still a very capable player.
If you look at Bazemore's highlights from last season, and Iggy's highlights from last season, would a unknowing person easily notice that one player is 5 year older than the other? I doubt it.
Blazer fans don't need highlights anyway to remember that he can shut down our best player one-on-one at the end of a game.
Bazemore's and Iggy's stats are not deceptive. One is a complete player, the other isn't.

Always LOVED his game. Arizona had 2 kids from our neighborhood that played with him there. Salim Stoudamire and Chris Rogers.....so we all kinda went out of our way too watch Arizona games when we could.
Say him and instantly fell in love with his game on both ends.

Chris Rogers was a head case and my son pretty much shut him down below his average his senior year when he was at Wilson and then our idiot coach (Dwight Jaynes brother) pulled him and put one of his younger players in and got torched.. My son was quick and long which bothered Rogers.

Highlight packages can be very deceptive.

Unless we are the team that gives up a 1st, which we should absolutely not do, then there is zero chance of Iggy being a Blazer. The reason for this is we don't have the right contracts to make it appealing enough for Memphis to trade with us versus other teams.

Our best offer without a 1st would be Bazemore/2020 2nd (as long as it's not 56-60)/2022 2nd for Iggy. The problem with this is that it would add an additional $2.1 million to Memphis' payroll.

Meanwhile a team like Dallas could offer Courtney Lee plus a couple 2nds which would save Memphis over $4.3 million instead of adding to their payroll.

On top of that, it's not even certain that Iggy would report if traded to the Blazers.

On December 15th we could do this:
POR Gets: Andre Iguodala, Josh Jackson
MEM Gets: Kent Bazemore, Mario Hezonja, 020 & 2022 2nds

I'd rather swap Melton for Jackson in this scenario.

Jackson is averaging 21.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game in the G-League. I know that doesn't mean much but Memphis is starting to look at him as a possible long term option instead of a salary dump.

That trade would also add $3.2 million to Portland's payroll and without doing the exact math roughly $10 million in tax.

Yes, it would add $3.2M in payroll. Good math!

I've told you why I'm not considering Jody's checkbook in trade ideas. It might be an obstacle but nobody knows, and it hasnt proven to be one yet.

That trade idea os based off Memphis not valuing Jackson. Keeping him in the G-League dorsnt shoe me they value him all that much.

Could also include Kyle Anderson instead of Jackson, which is a better trade on Memphis end IMO.

Slo-Mo still has 3 years and over $27 million left on his contract.

Barf!
 
I was reading these posts and the underling skill he has demonstrated is defense. A thirty six year old big man may be a good one year deal. Next season would be financially risky for us due to his age group.
 
This is rich.
