Decision Time On Options for CJ, Meyers and T-Rob

[Blazinaway]

I wouldn't mind trying to trade Trob to a team like Philly where he would get minutes, maybe pick up a few 2nd rdrs which would be nice to have and it opens a roster spot if we need one down the road and we could also add a third PG if we wanted

 

[KevinCSN]

too high for what?

to pick up the option?

thats the general consensus

Yep. I'm agreeing with that consensus.

philly wouldnt be interested unless we gave them a couple 2nds. they are all about leveraging their cap space.

I would be curious what sort of offers the Blazers have gotten for him (if any). Seemed liked he finally found a home here.

Rookie scale deals are a bargain with the current CBA. With the new super TV revenue, it'll just be moreso.

 

[magnifier661]

Agreed. I think the team likes TRob but this is purely financial and they are trying to sneak him in under the radar after not picking up his option. They can still sign him to his option price next summer so just depends on if he gets a better offer.

I think teams are hoping that we don't pick up T-Rob's option. He would be a cheap addition this summer in this regard.

Trade Robinson + Leonard for Monroe?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

External factors seem to be determing our young player's fates. The outside-shooting Hawes deciding against Portland basically doomed the inside-playing TRob (who would be a great complement to Hawes) and gave the outside-shooting Biebs some life as a good complement to Kaman.

That, sir, is an excellent and fascinating point.

thought so, so far Meyers and CK gettin renewed

 

[Mediocre Man]

Dumb move, IMHO

 

[PDXFonz]

Not like we can't sign him in the offseason for cheaper.

Fong, did you see the post where we could offer only the rookie scale contract? That means other teams can offer MLE and beat us out. I think that's the big question.

What if we opt out of Leonard and he explodes this season? Another team could offer him 4 mil and we couldn't match

 

[Blazinaway]

disagree, too expensive too keep for a guy who very likely won't get much playing time this year

 

[PDXFonz]

You think trob would want to change teams again when he could win rings here

if some idiotic GM wants to offer Trob the MLE then who the F cares, that's a really stupid move

Wait so the 4th year option means he played for our team for 3 years, allowing the bird provision right?

 

[PDXFonz]

I predict he is traded or re-signed

I'm not too concerned about T. Rob as I am with Leonard and CJ. Their contracts are pretty cheap honestly.

I don't think there are any bird rights because that 4th yr option was not exerciised, he is UFA next summer I believe

agree

Yeah but he's been in the league for 3 years... I am not quite sure... Just checking

 

[Blazer4ever]

I can't even start to explain how dumb this move is.
I'm deeply disappointed with O'lshey for the first time and quite frankly, with many posters here in this forum, who proved IMO they simply don't know much about basketball or have just a very short memory.

T-Rob is worth much more than the MLE and we just lost one of the best young PFs in the game. Good luck with rooting for Meyers Leonard, though. Pathetic.

 

[RR7]

one of the best young PFs in the game?

 

[Blazer4ever]

Correction: if we own his bird-rights than it isn't as important.
Anyway, letting T-Rob go is unacceptable IMO.

Putting the decision that was made aside I do have a little concern of this affecting chemistry.

 

[illmatic99]

So if TRob blows up, max we can offer him is a deal starting at 4.6mil per. But it can be for multiple years.

I don't think is big news at all.

no chit, did I miss something? he needs playing time and he will not get it here, I think we should trade him

hard to "blow up" when there and few to no minutes available for you, Philly is a good place for him
