Trade Bazemore being traded to SAC

[Neil O. Shyster]

OMG... this is like worst case scenario... an f’ing salary dump of one of the few assets we have... yuck!

 

[twobullz]

Who's our backup big now?

Swanigan?? Hoard? Not sure what happens tonight when Whiteside needs a break.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

WE DID IT!

 

[GDiama]

This is the plan i guess, save what can be saved

 

[hoopsjock]

Olshey just jacked another big from Sacramento.

I actually kind of like Gabriel, but the rest of the trade is awful.

But hey Jody saves $12.3 million!

Neil is a failure.

Swanigan...hahahaha

 

[julius]

Wait, we have to like Caleb again?

 

[hoopsjock]

Neil is a failure.

Actually if Jody asked him to cut the tax bill this trade was a complete success!

 

[Scalma]

Wait, we have to like Caleb again?

Im going to pretend he’s still not on the roster.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Neil probably got this edict (saving $$$) from his boss!

 

[julius]

Hold on, they traded those 2 players PLUS 2 picks?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I still think we should have traded Meyers for Luka Doncic.

 

[hoopsjock]

I'd be surprised if we didn't buy him out or trade him again.

Who the fuck is Wendell Gabriel

The best post of the thread

 

[lawai'a]

CJ must be going to be sidelined for a while so save tax??

 

[Scalma]

What?

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

WTF. I hate Ariza with a passion for what he did to Rudy.

Watch the play again, what Ariza did on that play wasn't that bad, really.

 

[Strenuus]

We still had to give picks to get an expiring off our hands. What a fucking joke.

He better be an unknown basketball great cuz the other two guys stink. Why would we give up two picks for this shit?

 

[Serbian]

I liked baze with his energy but sadly his offense was terrible this year and he made lots of stupid fouls. Toliver came alive last couple of games, but Ariza is a much better defender

Wenyen is actually a decent prospect. Those picks they gave up are in four, five years, honestly who gives a shit we’ll all be dead by then.

 

[hoopsjock]

No clue what picks we included but if it's this year's 2nd and our 2022 2nd then we just gave up a pick between 35-45 and a pick in the potential "double draft" for Ariza?

Doesn't make any sense.

 

[DDolla]

I think the Blazers waive Swanigan on this trade

Damn this post went darker faster than this blazers season.

2024,2025 according to Haynes.

 

[B-Roy]

For what it's worth, Ariza will actually be decent on this team I think.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Aim low, Neil!

Aim.

Low.

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

Worst part of deal no one is talking about is that it kills any chance to sign a decent player in free agency... the cap room we would have had letting Bazemore and Whiteside walk has been greatly diminished... this was worse then losing both players for nothing IMO

It's 1.8 million for Ariza. We had no cap anyways for a max player.
