Free Agent Blazers Resign Powell To 5/90

[South East]

Structure will be interesting, could they make it a declining contract so it’s more attractive down the road for trades?

 

[GDiama]

I cannot believe Olshey didn't fuck up. Good contract

 

[B-Roy]

This is how the deal should look:

15.4
16.6
17.9
19.4
20.1

No options.

Compared to GTJ:

16.67
18
19 (player option)

There is no upside to Gary Trent's contract because of that PO and how short it is. This is an absolute win no matter what.

 

[speeds]

Thank you for taking care of our boy.

Do you sign him for 5 years when the plan is so clearly to reset after the season?

if you reset his contract is very tradeable

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Thank you for taking care of our boy.

If you give us Siakam we'll take care of him, too

 

[James lamphear]

First two moves actually been pretty decent. 1st he didn't over pay on both players and both players can help this team.

 

[TBpup]

It's why he needs to be at SG.

 

[B-Roy]

What a fucking steal. I'm ecstatic right now.

Powell pretty much carried the team on his back in the lone win in that Nuggets series.

He was super impactful in the Raptors run to the title

Love you Norm but don't you dare say those three words.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

So happy we’re keeping him. Neil gets a lot of shit, but this is a team friendly deal. If he can swing CJ for Siakam or someone of that caliber, things are looking up.

 

[riverman]

Norm joined us on the road mid season...can't wait to see what happens when he gets to actually go through a training camp and preseason with a core of Dame and Nurk...and a fresh staff and new system...he worked with CJ Elleby for a reason...watch Elleby make the Gary Trent Jr leap in his second year..

 

[riverman]

I just hope our bench has some pop and stop in it this season...build a lead or maintain one.

Next -

trade CJ with Nurkic to Timberwolves for KAT

Dame
Powell
Naz
RoCo
Towns

trade CJ for Harris

Dame
Powell
RoCo
Harris
Nurkic

trade CJ for Siakam

Dame
Powell
Siakam
RoCo
Nurkic

 

[B-Roy]

Compared to how the cap will scale by the time Norm is on the last year on this contract.

This is a STEAL. 21M in year 5? He could make a case to be worth 21M NOW.

I think the market dried up.

I think the market dried up.

This looks like a deal that was negotiated before FA "officially" began.

Also Fischer was wrong. He said 3 years. Most people said 4. Ends up being 5.

He strikes me as the dude who just wants to be treated well and have some security.

I'm wondering if they needed to guarantee another yr to get him to 18 per.

Well then our GM, played it right.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Cold!

 

[B-Roy]

Maybe, but I'm more surprised it wasn't a PO in that last year. He could have asked for it and probably gotten it.

 

[tykendo]

Could be, but Norm gets better every year. It's not a gamble IMO.

Cold!

I probably wouldn't have screenshotted the N word.

The trent for Powell trade turned out great for no. Giving trent that much would remind me too much of the crabbey deal.
