KP on Colin Cowherd

[Minstrel]

Blake and Outlaw don't have to be picked up until after the draft I thought. So technically KP could say trade both of them to a team for an 8 mil player and that team could then not pick up their options. Like a great way to get around the cap. That might not be the case. but I thought it was.

That isn't necessary. The Blazers could simply renounce Outlaw and Blake and have an extra $8 million of cap space to use in a lopsided (salary-wise) trade, and achieve the same result (clearing $8 million of salary from another team's cap).

Are you kidding me? Many come on this site to see waht other fans have to say about the Blazers. If the GM of the Blazers is going to speak, even if you know he is guarded and will not reveal much, why wouldn't I take time out to listen to waht he has to say (especially given the amount of time many of us spend on this site).

The interview I listened with KP, he revealed that the Blazers will be picking up the options on Travis and Blake. If I just read this board, I would swear the Blazers were not going to pick up the option years on Outalw and maybe even Blake.

I heard the same thing. In fact, KP called it a high priority to pick up those options.

Here's the link to download and listen to just his interview. I don't recall them actually discussing anything Blazers related, it was almost all general NBA stuff.
