Exclusive Anthony Tolliver to Portland

[B-Roy]

Lit it UP for Detroit 2 years ago. Not much of a defender or rebounder but at least an option when Zach inevitably gets into foul trouble.

Tolliver is a solid team defender. He also draws charges. He's literally top 20 every year in charges drawn per game. .22 last season, .23 the season before. How many total drawn charges did the Blazers have last year?

I know there was one in the playoffs.....

Olshey is setting himself up for mid year trade with all our one year contracts

 

[hoopsjock]

This is really good, I’m impressed



but I am overall a lil worried about our defense

Why?

Dame isn't a liability anymore. Baze and Hood are good defenders. Collins and Whiteside are rim protectors.

I think they'll be fine.

Or he wants a really big move next summer?

 

[B-Roy]

Also, of the stretch 4s left in FA, he's probably the second best one after JaMychal Green, who I don't think is actually a minimum guy and is just waiting to see which team Kawhi goes to before he signs his deal.

And by stretch 4s, I mean actual stretch 4s. Not theoretical stretch 4s. Not like, this guy can kinda shoot a bit maybe (ahem, Vonleh). Like....Tolliver actually takes a lot of threes, and makes them.

We still have the 5.7M MLE ?

 

[Pinwheel1]

159 - 365 from deep the season before last. 44% in Detroit

The good part about that is we can use some of these vet signings as trade filler instead of having to include guys like Skal or Little.

No

 

[BBert]

What year was that?

 

[Hobbesarable]

What year was that?

2016-17 season I believe

 

[tlongII]

Another depth piece. He’ll get minutes when/if somebody gets nicked up.

Olshey Doing work...Thank You Neil!

Got to say this summer has been fun so far.

Kjironman is a fan!!!

All that whining about there being no way to improve this summer looks silly.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm not impressed with this move, but I don't hate it

I'll need to see who else, if anybody, is signed by Portland, and who else is signed around the league for a minimum deal

with Nurk out, Portland has only 3 guys over 6'8. If either Whiteside or Zach get hurt, Portland would only have 2 healthy guys over 6'8 and one of them would be Skal. The ice couldn't be thinner

including Layman I count 14 players now. Am I missing anybody?

 

[KingSpeed]

Great to have Tolliver back. Elite 3 point shooter. Could start.

Are you shitting melol there's been so many poats about this man!

 

[BBert]

Or he wants a really big move next summer?

After we win the title this season, we'll get an all star next summer by trade or free agency.

Win, and they will come.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Lol he’s gonna be our 2019-20 Dorrell Wright

3 guys over 6'8" is enough in today's NBA. Only 2 need to play really.

yeah, that's why the Blazers had no trouble at all with Millsap in the playoffs

 

[BBert]

I was kind of looking forward to signing a couple of these SL prospects.

But the cheap vets are decent trade chips.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Assuming Daum gets the other two way, we have one more spot open on the active roster.

Neil needs to use our first rounder for another good rotation big. Time to go all-in.

Millsap isn't over 6'8"....

 

[KingSpeed]

swish3 will love Tolliver

 

[wizenheimer]

it doesn't matter what Millsap is...Portland didn't have the bulk to guard him

Who are you trading to make that happen?

Oh. Crap.
