Man if Neil pulls Whiteside out of a hat I'll be amazed!

If he does that the NBA might as well already give him the GM of the year trophy for next season now
 
I know pinwheel always makes awesome videos, but is he known to have sources/inside info?
 
Damn we get Whiteside and Parsons we are looking at getting another title
 
I have to wonder if the Blazers structured Parsons deal to be back loaded so maybe a little easier to get Whiteside after various other moves like re-nouncing players and maybe a trade or two.

I was thinking along the same lines...might Whiteside's be back loaded too? Is that how you get both?
 
Are we even sure Portland is meeting with Whiteside? How many people reported it? Just alex Kennedy?

Its been reported by quiet a few people. Even Woj talked about it but made it sounded like its merely lip service because his choice will be between Mavs/Miami.

Miami is out
 
Last year around this time i remember a similar situation with Greg Monroe and then went to bed after being fairly certain NO WAY he would choose the Bucks over the Blazers well we all know what happened there. I have to imagine that Olshey learned from that event last year but he MIGHT be holding an ACE up his sleeves in Parsons to help convince Whiteside to sign with the Blazers. It's for this reason i hope Parson's meeting with Memphis is before Portland's with Whiteside so Olshey can really have that ace up his sleeve and not having to bluff which would prolly lead to Whiteside not signing with Portland.


ALSO that tweet you were talking about NEVER even mentions the Blazers

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 7m7 minutes ago
Miami swung back momentum with Hassan Whiteside in meeting tonight, league sources tell @TheVertical. Heat regained footing with Dallas.
 
I mean I'm sure you are right. But Woj once again doesn't even mention Portland anywhere. No "with Portland still to meet with him" or anything type tweets. Have to wonder if we got blown off so that is why we shifted our focus to Parsons.
 
Be amazing to wake up to both Whiteside and Parsons on the Blazers

Because Woj is holding his breath like the rest of us

Pretty much at this point I think either could happen since there just isn't much info. I'm just trying to think positive since there was a tweet saying we are getting a meeting and none saying we aren't yet.
 
You guys keep saying Whiteside which would be my pick too but maybe, just maybe this is a master plan to grab a wing and rim protector. That article about Parsons and Dwight being close friends and going into free agency together. Maybe that's the plan. Who knows. Or maybe we just grab Parsons, renounce somebody like meyers or something, grab a lower tier rim defender
 
Love the fact that Olshey is at least going after the small prey first. He's learned his lesson well. Get all your bases covered and THEN swing for the seats!
 
Imagine Dwight surrounded by 4 shooters. Sound familiar?
 
Another thing; supposedly Dwight has meetings in Atlanta today and then Las Vegas on Saturday. Could the Vegas meetings involve teams participating in summer league there? Portland and Boston?

I just realized Parsons is only 27 i thought he was a little older like 29 i guess it just seems like he has been around awhile - LOL

That's probably because you've seen replays of Lillard's 0.9 shot over Parsons so many times. :D

Only Boston I think. It's between Atlanta and Boston.
 
Whiteside is staying with Miami.
