Bucher: Miller & Hedo

[Bosco]

Nope, you are wrong. This is Ric Bucher answering "SnaketheJake27"s question.

What do you honestly think that proves about the opening post for the topic? Nothing bro. I'd love these two on the team, but it ain't happening.

It's all smoke:

"@SnaketheJake27 Heard both Hedo and Andre Miller in a sign-and-trade that would send Steve Blake, who played for EJordan in D.C., to Phi"

Came from some random guy.... who posted on his site...

nah. The Snake fellow asked this question:

@RicBucher and will Portland land a big FA? I've been hearing Hedo thrown around, but I don't really like that fit. PG/true PF is a big need about 18 hours ago from web in reply to RicBucher

To which, Bucher replied:

I didn't say it was going to happen. I was simply responding to your post where you said the rumor originated from some random guy. It didn't, it came from Bucher himself. Whether it actually happens or not doesn't matter.

Wow! Our starting 5 would be soooooooooo fierce for at least the next two years!

PG: Andre Miller
SG: Brandon Roy
SF: Hedo Turkoglu
PF: Lamarcus Aldridge
C: Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla

This puts us at 6 for our starting 5 - and while it served us well against Boston last year - I think the NBA has closed that loophole

Then like an hour later it says we are going after Kidd.. Twitter sucks.

Kidd will be our one-year bridge to Andre Miller.

Andre Miller will be our two-year bridge to Jerryd Bayless.

Makes perfect sense.

 

[andalusian]

Kidd will be our one-year bridge to Andre Miller.

Andre Miller will be our two-year bridge to Jerryd Bayless.

And all of them are a 3 year bridge for Patty Mills?

Where does it say that? Not on Bucher's page.

So Bayless rides the pine again next year?

Patty Melt is the future.

A delicious...delicious future. Mmmm....patty melt.

I shouldn't post when I've missed lunch.

now I cant seem to see it, I'll try and locate it again.

not sure, I just know it had a link to an article, but I didnt check to see on different pages.. as I'm not super crazy into the Twitter scene.

No. Blazersedge linked to a dallas news article that said portland was expected to make an offer to kidd along with hal the league.

Twitter is just a tool to broadcast messages. Blazersedge is just grabbing any blazer news.

@thebeaverstate The guys at Ripcitytwo.com are a bunch of tools! #nba

 

[Mediocre Man]

Does blazers edge have a twitter page?



I am not a twitter geek per say, but I like to check out info from as many people as I can. The blazers do I know, as does Bayless

[maxiep]

A lot of Philly fans on their realgm board are on board with Webster and Blake for Andre

Sure. I'd be on board with getting two good players for a guy that's going to walk for nothing too.

Thanks

That would be the best thing for Portland, don't you think Maxie?

If we could somehow send both Webster and Blake to Philly for Miller, and then send Outlaw to Orlando for Hedo we would still have some cap room to sign someone like McDyess maybe

Yeah. Here it is. They provide a lot of solid info.

How? Webster+Blake cancels out Miller. Outlaw is only 4 million. Hedo wants 10, so that eats 6 million in cap space. That leaves about 1.5 million. I don't think we can get McDyess with that.

 

[cdub503]

maybeeeeeeeee do a sign and trade with frye and outlaw for hedo = 6 or so mil fryes worth 2mil right? lol we could get mcdyess for 3.5 possibly maybe?

Orlando isn't going to want Frye.

Hedo wants 50 for 5 years, not 10. 50 for 5 years starts at about 8.5 per year. Hedo at 8.5 - Outlaw at 4 = 4.5. Blake and Webster = a little over 9 mil per I believe. I have no idea what Miller is looking for, but I think 8 is a safe number. But even if it's 9 and it cancels it out that leaves us 3 million. Renouncing Freeland and Koponen give us another 1.6 million. So now we have 4.6 million.


Hmm, maybe someone with a grasp on how the cap works can take it from here. At some point if something equals something you get your MLE back

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I really hope KP can get Hedo with a 4-year deal.

Paying a 36 year old, declining player, $10m isn't a good idea.

He wants 10 million a year. If the contract started at 8.5, we could just renounce Kop+Free and sign him without giving any assets. Then we can just do a S/T for Miller.

That math makes sense. McDyess, Miller, and Hedo would be a solid summer. A VERY solid summer.

Miller/Bayless
Roy/Rudy
Hedo/Batum
LMA/McDyess
Oden/Joel

I would love that lineup.

 

[RoyToy]

I'm down with Hedo if the Blazers get Dre.
