Layman to T-Wolves (1 Viewer)

[Scalma]

I wonder what Neil is planning?

Better include a big.

 

[TBpup]

Now with the extra roster spot I expect the Blazers to pick up another player, most likely an actual big.

 

[SIeepwalker]

So we got nothing for Jake, it was more of just a favor?

I think it's more a case of Neil actually getting all those wings he targeted, and being all like "well I sure wish I didn't extend that QO to Layman now"

Not sure what his first year salary is, but it gives us a check worth about 3 mil to acquire a player and it's good for a year. It might come in handy once free agency is basically over or near the trade deadline.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

what an offseason lolll. oh hey there blazers roster *flush*

credit to olshey... when hes done that man throws everything out the window.

 

[Hoopguru]

I'm kind of bummed about this. I still think Jake is going to be a really nice player when given a consistent role. That contract is really reasonable too.

I would've matched but understand given our roster situation.

PS: My opinion could change based on what we get back in the deal.

He went from wow, where did his guy come from to, man Jake must be in Stotts dog house. I wish him well!

 

[Scalma]

Joakim Noah would be a nice add huh

 

[SIeepwalker]

Layman was an intriguing player but with the way our offseason went there wouldn't have been any minutes for him to prove himself

 

[BonesJones]

I'm glad the Blazers aren't giving him that contract

there's about a 3.7M TPE in this for Portland

Willy Hernangomez come on down.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yeah but there are bargains out there.

Ya

 

[wizenheimer]

ok then...quick...look up which Bartelstein clients are still free agents

Was Biggie considered a big?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yep. NO and his favors

 

[Hobbesarable]

I believe @Scalma had a list of Bartlestein clients.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Better include a big.

I'd also love a vet pg.......just in case

 

[BonesJones]

HCP tried so hard to be the first to report this that he messed up the thread title

 

[BigGameDamian]

Marcus Morris?

 

[CupWizier]

Remember about mid season when there were posters claiming Jake will get somewhere between 10 and 15 mil? Guess that wasn't being very realistic. Anyone ready to confess it was them?

In fairness, he was holding deep fried butter in one hand

 

[Scalma]

Listen if we sign Joakim he can smoke freely and will be a bbbbbbeast. Sign Joakim.

 

[BonesJones]

Marcus Morris?

For the minimum....? Cmon now...

 

[BrianFromWA]

I guess I’m the only one who lol’d at Minny wanting one of our RFAs and having the agent totally sucking up rather than being, well, Bouma Ndiaye.

Gosh and look who woke up to try and trash another poster.

Gosh, look who can't take a joke.

you really think so? noah seems pretty shot

 

[Scalma]

you really think so? noah seems pretty shot

His numbers last year say otherwise bra bra

 

[BrianFromWA]

If we did just get a TPE back it’s like “Trade-Only Cap Space.” Can’t sign someone with an exception. But you can use the TPE for anyone 3.7M (if that’s the TPE #) or below.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm ready to flame Olshey for this one!

Yep. Possibly one more trade in the works for Olshey if that's the case.

 

[THE HCP]

Seems like we could have paid Jake this. I really thought he was on the rise.
