We could offer Mathews 4/50, Robin lopez a max, LA a max, give Affalo the same contract as wes, pick up both Blake(not sure if he has an option but if not resign him for a year) and Kamans Option and we would have a pretty large Tax bill next year but that summer when the new money kicks in we would have 20 million to play with. So as long as Allen doesn't mind paying for one year we could comfortably keep everyone.

Summer of 2016. Which, BTW, is why AAA should choose not to opt out, and why Wes would be we'll-served to request a one year deal.

Yeah - that's right. So I still think it's pretty reasonable to expect everyone could be back.

I would say this, but Lopez better not get max. He isn't a max player type. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if AAA doesn't opt out and wait for a bigger payday when the new cap kicks in

Ya and if Mathews doesn't come back close to the same player we will have fucked are self's. That's a gamble but I kinda like it.

I think the long drought at the Center position we had as Blazer fans really made fans appreciate Lopez being able to play all 82 last year...
Solidifying the Center position and letting Aldridge slide to his natural Power Forward.
I think we all got caught up in OMG LOPEZ IS AWESOME WE HAVE A CENTER WHO ISN'T MADE OF GLASS... Or is a 6"9 power forward....
(at least that's what I was thinking after last year)
(please no one take that as a shot @ the Vanilla Gorilla...)
Now I don't think many believe Lopez is a max type center.
I just believe he's essential to the success of the Blazers..
Or a blue collar true center like him.

This. THIS is what we'd be paying for. Not max money, but it'd be money damn well spent.

I'm not saying we shouldn't pay the man, but he is not a max player. Max players are like Aldridge or Dame then you have the second tier players like Batum, Matthews and Lopez.
 
I love Rolo but he's not a max player at all. He's also replaceable if necessary. I think he gets Batum money
 
I think we'll bring every player back except maybe Gee and keep Blake and Kaman in the rotation one more season then if all is well, they'll be the Jared Jeffries and Earl Watson on the end of the bench the following year. If Gee goes and we have one open spot left, we can pick up another wing from summer league.

I agree. I'm starting to wonder how good RoLo really is. He's obviously nowhere near guys like Cousins or Gasol, he doesn't have the upside of guys like Gobert, Drummond, Vucevic or Whiteside, he isn't as good as guys like Jordan or Howard... He isn't skilled like Horford, Jefferson or his brother. He is kinda in that Chandler/Splitter category and even then idk if he's as good as them. He is closer to Asik/Mozgov.

Paul allen left his seat to check on wes after he went down. Paul allen fucking loves wes the dude is here to stay. I hope we keep this team intact and I know wes will be back even better than he was this year cause that's what ironman does.

Just because Paul left his seat to check on him does not mean that he's here to stay.

I remember when Deandre Jordan was rumored to come here when Neil became GM. As much as I love having lopez on the Blazers I still think Jordan would be a good fit for portland.

I like watching free throws go in the hoop.

No thanks. Can't make a free throw can't have him on the court in a tight game.

Did Paul leave his seat to check on Afflalo?
