Blazers were close to a Deal with Washington for Otto Porter

Anyone still on board with trying to get Porter? He's ridiculously overpaid, but that might be why Chicago might unload him for unequivalent talent. Bundle Ariza with...? Hood plus...? A re-signed Whiteside?
I haven't watched him recently, but not so long ago he was an ideal complementary forward - could defend both forward spots and score when needed. Just the kind of hole in the roster we have.

I believe he was hurt almost all year.

without disclosing who we were to be giving up, impossible to gauge.

I like Porter but he's no stopper. He's an offensive talent for sure.
