Brad Botkin of CBS Sports this morning said Simmons for CJ would be about as good as both teams could do to address each teams specific needs.

"Get it done. This should have been done yesterday."

Makes you wonder what the holdup is. Probably Morey hoping that time passing will make him worth more.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If NeO thinks just a change in coach is going to make this team a contender without significant roster changes, we are in for a couple more years of watching Dame's prime be wasted. I'm a HUGE fan, but don't have much interest in watching that slow, painful decline happen.

Aren't we all kind of secretly expecting this? Like, at some point Charlie Brown had to expect that Lucy was going to pull the football, even though she kept convincing him to try... Planning on Neil disappointing us and being pleasantly surprised if that ends up not being the case is probably the way to go...

I find that hard to believe, but if true, CJ would make a great 6th man. Move Powell to the starting 2, and bring CJ off the bench.

Although, I think Olshey will do his due diligence to see what value CJ has around the league. But that’s IF Powell is coming back.
 
Why the fuck would we assure cj of that? Everyone should be on the table except Dame

Unconfirmed news drives you crazy? I’m not a big Neil fan, but this is a bit dramatic.

If we don't trade CJ this offseason, and we think we can just run it back with a different coach, I'm going to seriously unplug from the team.

There’s a lot more variables at play. I doubt announcing to the world that we need a change is going to help Neil’s odds of getting decent value.

I would like to move on from CJ as well, but only if it improves the roster.

There's a difference between advertising that someone is on the table, and potentially assuring them that they're not going to be traded.

makes sense to see him with a better offensive coach.

A new coach could help - but realistically the coaching may have gotten us into the 2nd round. In no way was this team a legit championship contender the way it was constructed. We may see some small improvements - but a new coach will not materially change the coarse for the Blazers.

If keeping CJ costs us Powell + the balance we could have achieved with what we got for CJ and keeping Powell, that seems incredibly idiotic.

Agreed. I don't see any other way Portland can significantly improve the team.

If Powell (say $20M/yr) re-signs, Blazers will really only have the Tax MLE ($6M) and vet mins to fill out the roster (besides re-signing our own FA players). I just went through the excersize earlier today & that team would have a total payroll cost of ~$250M... Just not good enough.

If Powell doesn't re-sign, Portland could possibly use the full MLE ($9.5M) but they'd have to fill out the rest of the roster with MIN contracts.
Here's a link to that post: Norm Powell Contract

I'm already starting to... Living in Arizona, the Suns are converting me. I LOVE how they play as a team & play D.

Neil doesn't have to 'announce' that CJ is on the trade board. Just don't go around promising that he will not be traded.
