Cuts, Inactives and Out of the Rotation guys (1 Viewer)

[blue9]

In fact, if Neil does a 1 for 2 trade, or takes on a guy for salary alone (any time this season), the 15th guy is going to be cut.

While we might take a salary dump player, any trades we make will have us sending out more players than we're receiving. Nobody on the roster (aside from Dame/CJ) have enough individual trade value to get anything significant in return. Thus we will have to build a package of multiple players in order to get a meaningful player in return.

We have cap space. He can trade 1 guy for 5 guys as long as those 5 guys fit in our cap space picture.

I understand that it's technically possible, but it doesn't make sense so it's not probable. We're stacked with "potential" and cheap contracts, so if we're making trades we'll be sending out more players than we're taking back. We're not going to be making lateral trades, we're not going to make "restocking" trades, with our new roster we're looking at talent consolidating trades.

I think we'll be making trades that relieve the other team from luxury tax bills. If those teams need a minimum salary player, they might take one of the Blazers' end of bench guys.

In fact, it would not shock me if the Bulls try to dump either Noah or Taj Gibson to avoid the LT. They're not going to want anything in return, but if they have a roster spot they must fill, they might consider taking back a vet minimum salary.

So we might cut Kaman, Hendo, Aminu and Cliff?

Right, which would still be a 1:1 player swap (and I did say I agree we MIGHT take a salary dump player). But when it comes to "real" trades we don't have the players or the contracts to take more players back than we're sending out.

Maybe the Bulls send out Kirk Hinrich, too.

I agree with Denny; with our massive salary cap space its more likely we have additional players coming in with a trade than going out. Of course either could happen. But it could be a small factor of cutting the roster to 14 now.

I have waited 7 years for HCP to drop some knowledge on this place.

Finally.

No surprises, and the right decisions.

God I hope there is a press release today saying Denny has waived JinxSpeed and any of you with under 2,500 posts!

Damn.. I was right all along? Amazing.

Wonder what we do with Montero and Patty. Don't think we have a dleague affiliation any longer, and they definitely will NOT get any PT. Neil, iirc, has gone on record to say he prefers to keep these guys in house rather than send them off to some podunk town.

Gundersens take

Montero played in only two preseason games so far this season. He’s a project in the rawest sense of the word. The Blazers have given indications to Montero’s camp that they want to see where his game is in a year, according to league source. His 6-7 frame, long wing span and skills with the basketball have made him a project worth investing in for the time being. The Blazers, it appears, want to see what their player development staff can do with Montero’s raw skills.

A cut-and-paste of that magnitude is quite an accomplishment for him.

Honestly they'll develop more in practice with the team than in the dleague playing in a different scheme with different players.

If Hendo, Harkless and Aminu are out for a half as they were last night Pat will be in the rotation.

Can we send Luis to a DLeague team? There is supposed to be a general NBA one but I think the Pacers bought it.

We still can, any team can. They would play for the Fort Wayne mad ants, but I don't think they can control how much pt Montero gets there. It's a totally different situation than sending a player to your affiliate. I wonder if it might be better to keep him in town and in practices + playing sparring minutes in garbage time then to have him possibly riding the bench for some d league team.

Send him away; either he'll get playing time or it'll be an uncomfortable disaster which could be a good life lesson for him.
