OT Free Agency Round The League

[illmatic99]

Watch, we're gonna get Kyle OQuin for full MLE

 

[julius]

There better be a trade that makes sense for this flop.

They're trading for the rights to LeBron James cousin.

 

[illmatic99]

Appreciated Ed, but it was time to move on.

Will allow Zach to play inside more and I think Biggie deserves a shot.

Biggie, like I predicted with Vonleh when we got him, won't get a second NBA contract. If he plays minutes, we're in trouble

 

[e_blazer]

Anybody keeping track? With the cap holds for Ed, Pat, and Bazz gone, where do we sit relative to the full MLE/

Quick is alive!

Alive. Flabbergasted. Not informed.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Who's with me!!!???

Please understand I absolutely mean this as a joke, and nothing more I will delete this if it offends you it's not meant to!
if I was a black guy and saw that I don't think I'd want to join, I'd get out of there...

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The logical conclusion to a hardish cap with the max salaries set too high:
10% of players getting paid way too much
20% of players getting paid the right amount
70% of players getting royally screwed.

Not there yet. Need to cut about 2 mil with Nurk's ~9 mil caphol

 

[Stevenson]

No signing coming soon.

 

[LayneStaley]

(No need to)

Hold onto your shorts!

I was so upset at the Ed Davis news I went and did the dishes by hand for half an hour. Thanks NO! Now my kitchen is clean when I should be obsessively following twitter!

 

[BBert]

So a trade that brings back 2 million less...

Meyers....ET....

Problem is 5% of the 10% play for the Blazers

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Who's with me!!!???

You don't want Chief Wiggum running the team?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

And the retweet counter on that is climbing quickly.

I wouldn't mind getting him as a cheaper Ed replacement - but not as a more expensive one

If Nurk takes the QO, we’re there, right?

 

[illmatic99]

yes. Not sure there are any UFAs worth giving that to. Maybe Tyreke?

Could be right. But I think Biggie brings a level of skill that Vonleh or Ed just don't have and gives us a different look. Along with some inside and out interchangeability w/Zach, he also offers possible 5 out spacing and another guy that can lead a break.

And as much as you guys are bringing up Dame's love for Ed, are we all forgetting how much Dame praised Caleb in training camp?

I'm ready for more of this...

This made me laugh way more than it should. LOL.

We'd just need someone like Aminu on the floor to try to cover for his defensive liabilities.

I don’t think ur gonna get much of an Ed replacement for under 4.5 mil

 

[Pinwheel1]

Maybe they want Collins getting back up minutes at center? Or maybe Ed at least saw it that way. I don't, as I see ZC as a PF. But he jumped on a low contract at midnight. He made up his mind early.

 

[LayneStaley]

I think Kawhi ends up a Clipper. Oh god I hope LBJ gets screwed outta his SuperTeam

And while I’m wishing I want Barton back

 

[Scalma]

This thread will be fun to revisit once the other shoe drops. Or not. Fuck it. I’m drinking a White Russian.

Barton already resigned with Denver

 

[Rhal]

Im just imaging NO on PA yacht in Seattle both having a few drinks and NO has his phone on silent since he thinks FA doesn't start for another hour.

 

[LayneStaley]

Caleb reminds me of a poor mans Dejuan Blair, not sure how he replaces Ed.

 

[LayneStaley]

Fuck.

He doesnt.
