Trade Joe Ingles - Arrival and Departure

[BlazerBeav]

Obviously he'll never play here, but I hate him and this makes me feel dirty.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Man, I hope Ingles makes a solid comeback next year.

Man, I hope Ingles makes a solid comeback next year.

He won't see a single minute of PT in a Blazer jersey. He's a FA this summer.

 

[Strenuus]

I kinda like Ingles for next year.

 

[Strenuus]

He won't see a single minute of PT in a Blazer jersey. He's a FA this summer.

Ah. Damn.

 

[Scalma]

So its essentially NAW for Hughes and a pick?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Wow!….Who saw this coming?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I was actually looking forward to seeing what NAW could bring. Oh well.

 

[illmatic99]

So its essentially NAW for Hughes and a pick?

not a bad deal. i prefer liquid assets to players given our TPE status.

 

[Scalma]

btw NAW was guaranteed 5M for next season. Hughes isn't guaranteed anything

 

[Mediocre Man]

Additional 5 million in cap space this summer.


Cronin is a gambler, I’ll give him that

 

[Strenuus]

What's the low down on Hughes?

 

[Orion Bailey]

So. Are all the Cronin haters hating this move too?

 

[Shaboid]

At this point, I've stopped keeping track of who is and isn't on the Trailblazers.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

So. Are all the Cronin haters hating this move too?

Nope--this one makes sense.

 

[Scalma]

What's the low down on Hughes?

I liked him coming out, I used to live in Syracuse so I watch them occasionally. Good body for a guard. Good athlete. Dunno what hes done since he got in the league but worth a look

 

[TBpup]

We give up the one decent young player we got in Alexander-Walker for an expiring and a 2nd round pick.

More cap space.

 

[illmatic99]

Wondering which second we got. Cut salary and took on a second.... I need more of these kinda deals along the margins. Good one, Joe.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

So. Are all the Cronin haters hating this move too?

No this is fine and I supported the CJ trade, as did a majority of this board. Its only the Clippers trade that was indefensible, and had 80% of the board against it.

 

[TBpup]

If it is MEM 2nd round pick we got, that one won't be very good. #55?

 

[MickZagger]

Say it ain’t so, Joe.

He made a trade that makes sense.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

At this point, I've stopped keeping track of who is and isn't on the Trailblazers.

I made a depth chart and salary list yesterday but now thats totally changed. Think I'll just wait until after tomorrow. Might be 3 more moves by then.

 

[blazerkor]

So we just cleared another 5.5M from our cap going into free agency and got another second rounder... that's it. Seems solid.

I figured Juancho is worth more than NAW, so SAS probably got the 22 and we get the 23. Also SAS is taking on more salary this year, so more reason for them to get the better pick.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

We bring in Joe Ingles $13 million expiring contract and actually cut salary.

 

[BigGameDamian]

More trades coming? This is fun!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

BTW, this negates the claim by some that Sell-Low Joe "held out" for NAW over Hayes in the NOP deal. Wouldn't have dumped him for nothing if that were the case.

 

[FlashWad]

So. Are all the Cronin haters hating this move too?

Not really upset over this or even the CJ deal just still distraught by the God awful Clippers one.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

NAW makes more sense on a team like the Jazz that have a set starting roster but need a low cost rotational player.

We are so far away from having a starting lineup I'm fine addressing that first, and try to add end of the rotation NAW type later on. Not sure if later on is 6 months or 6 years though.

not if you read some opinions. more focus is being placed on NAW than Juancho.
