But maybe we didn't need to give up much to get Chandler.

Exactly. We're only hearing one side of a rumored deal. If Olshey had been able to grab Chandler for Ezeli and a pick and had kept Plumlee, would the Blazers have been in better shape as far as making the playoffs this year? Absolutely.

And we would be much worse off in any season after that as Plumlee would leave in the Summer anyway and 34-year old Chandler a $12M a year would not be helping us anymore. Oh and we would have lost the pick too.
 
I really don't see how anyone could argue with the Nurkic deal. He suits us better than Plumlee, #22 pick in this draft is going to be valuable and we got more value for Mase than Kings got for Cousins.
 
Guessing they'll go after one of the Nuggets (Gallo/Chandler/Faried), but hard to imagine DEN giving em up for just cap savings. Rockets don't have any picks to trade-- just a salary dump.

D'Antoni loved Gallo in NYC.

Sigh. The purpose of my post was simply to point out that we don't know what the deal was or what the team objectives were if, in fact, the Blazers were making a play for Chandler. It wasn't intended to say that was the strategy I would favor. If the Blazers were making a play for Chandler at some point before they made the Plumlee trade, my thought would be that Olshey was trying to make a last ditch effort to push the team into the playoffs. Trading Plumlee for Nurkic was likely raising the white flag on that objective and taking the longer view.

Yeah those guys are worth more than a salary dump.
 
That was a possible landing spot for one our bench guys in return for the WAS pick.

Lou Will and Bogdanovic both were able to land first round picks in the 20s.
 
Just read the Spurs are talking with the Suns about trading Lamarcus...said it wasn't working out in San Antonio for the dude....wasn't impacting the offense as much as expected...Parker and Ginobli want to win now and Aldridge is not a good fit according to the rumor

Who are they going to get from the Suns that will help them win now?

I doubt it is, but I really really really hope that's true!
