Blazers Roster (pre FA period)

[Scalma]

If we make a trade + use TPE, Davis is likely gone.

I just don’t see it. Davis is too important.

I like Davis, so I hope you're right. But, if we do something like obtain Faried + goodies, Davis is gone.

We loaded up on guards because we’re gonna trade CJ for Lebron it’s so obvious how does no one see this??

TPE and FAs. To clarify, TPE's cannot be used to sign free agents, correct? So, the only free agents we are going to be able to to get is for the MLE. That doesn't seem very interesting to me as the only FAs you can get for the MLE are borderline contributors or possibly you get lucky with someone who has enough money and just wants to play for Portland because they like to fish or something.

So, if Blazers are going to do anything significant with the TPE it would be through trading for a non-FA. Right??

You have all of that correct.

We need wings. Neil admitted as much.

All y'all listing guards and centers will be disappointed.

Ed Davis is the most undervalued guy on this team. It wasn't that long ago that he was the guy getting crunch time minutes instead of Nurk.
Last off season, Nurk lost weight and turned into a ballerina around the hoop. Ed rehabbed his shoulder and became our toughest interior presence.
Also, Biggie and Collins were at their best alongside Ed. Can't say the same about Nurk.

Really challenging to come up with reasonable trades to make this team significantly better. Keep coming back to taking a chance on CJ for Fultz, which is risky, and 76ers would have to add value (I think), but adding Covington or Saric seems like too much.

Otto Porter would be a nice grab, but I can't imagine wizards want another undersized combo guard.

Yes, I made a list in some thread of player who "opted-in". The teams may want them to go away.

And we know how much most NBA players like to "go fishing"

Magic Waive Shelvin Mack
JUN 25, 2018 4:23 PM

The Orlando Magic have waived Shelvin Mack.

Mack would have been guaranteed $6 million this season.

Mack will become a free agent this offseason.

 

[BBert]

Lot's of waiving going on. It's like a parade.
