Felton to the Knicks via S&T?

[BlazerCaravan]

The way he stuck to his guns against the Clips, how about "Dr. NO" (Neil Olshey)?

Yeah, still not great.

I thought it was Olshanked.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Felton's gone so that's good, but I don't think we actually got back any players who will ever end up making a significant impact playing for us.

Exactly. Sorry, but I see nothing here to be excited about.

 

[magnifier661]

I just don't see why we just let the dude walk. Why take on anymore salary? Am I missing something here?

The draft picks. We took on Gadz and Jeffries to make the money match up, but I think we did it for the draft picks.

Okay but aren't they like 2030-2031 or something?

Yeah, and for what its worth, Olshea likes to develope good will with trading partners, unlike some GM that we all know..

PORTLAND,Ore. – The PortlandTrail Blazers have acquired forward Jared Jeffries, center DanGadzuric, the draft rights to Georgios Printezis and Kostas Papanikolaou, a 2016 second round draft pick and cash considerations from the New York Knicks in exchange for Raymond Felton and Kurt Thomas, it was announced today by General Manager Neil Olshey.

Felton was signed by the Trail Blazers earlier today to facilitate the sign-and-trade transaction.

“This trade allowed us to acquire multiple assets for the future without impacting our current cap position,” said Olshey. “Jared Jeffries provides depth and a versatile skill to our front court. He is a consummate professional on and off the floor, competes every night and is a veteran leader for our locker room.”

NY Knicks roster looks like it was built by Bob Whitsitt. Individual talents with little chemistry. Kidd & Felton at PG will be disaster.

Kidd (at this time) and Felton (at this weight) aren't "individual talents" in a good way.

No Diebler?

 

[RoyToy]

Jeffries should never see the court

 

[Duckhook]

Olshey should feel dirty for how badly he took advantage of NY. What a great deal!

It kinda smells of the late-career acquisitions of Schrempf and Strickland, among others.

 

[MickZagger]

Jared Jeffries should get decent burn. He's always been a good defender.

 

[Natebishop3]

Olshanked!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Olshanked!

We need to work on the name, you know, as a group

New York: "We'd like Ray Felton and Kurt Thomas. Who do you want?"

Olshey: "I'll take a 2nd round pick, Jeffries as cap filler and the most difficult names to spell on your roster. Thanks."

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Ol...

[maxiep]

I don't think any of these players will ever don a uniform, except for Jeffries, who will wear a suit most games. This was a trade to gain assets for future deals.

 

[magnifier661]

Well it's official

ESPN SC NBA POR - Acquire Jared Jeffries, Dan Gadzuric, Kostas Papanikolaou, Giorgos Printezis for Ray Felton

 

[The_Lillard_King]

The deal involved a "protected 2nd round pick" . . . I found that part funny.

Wish Kurt wanted to stay and mentor, but overall Blazers got something for Felton and Thomas, which I don't think any of us were expecting.
