Bogut will get cut and then sign with the Cavs or Celtics. Nice day to be him.

 

[Rhal]

Maybe but another thing is Dame is a great leader not just a great player. So big question is does CJ have the same leadership as Lillard?

No clue but why does that matter?

 

[jlprk]

For a small market like Portland to have an All-NBA 2nd teamer invested so much in Portland and actually want to be here shouldn't be something fans take for granted. That's not something we've had a whole lot of.

I keep seeing this alternative history posted. Other than Aldridge, which good Blazer players have dumped us? Seems we've done all the dumping and ditching.

OK I guess Dallas may still tank after all. That is too bad......

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I really wanted Noel but I think (more so then some others I guess) that PHI got a pretty decent deal here. Other then the pick I guess. Low one in a worse draft.

Dallas is down on Justin Anderson.

Just because he was a first-round pick doesn't mean he'll be any good, folks.

May I present Nolan Smith, Beibs, Luke Babbit, etc.?

Bogut will be cut. Low draft pick in a different draft. Philly really didn't get much here.

 

[Blazinaway]

This year's #1? That is currently the 7th pick in the draft. Looks like Dallas won't tank this year if that is the pick.

there is I believe top 18 protection on the pick

From what I was told this morning, Portland made their best offers yesterday and are just waiting to see what is left after everyone else makes their move.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

No, he's peddling it to teams below the minimum salary threshold.

But hasn't someone pointed out that this doesn't really save the receiving club any money? they just end up paying Ezeli instead of their own players? Oh, except they are allowed to take credit for his full salary while only paying the pro-rated part that is left? But then they still have to pay the one million buyout next year. Although maybe they take a chance he has a miraculous recovery?

Yes, someone pointed that out, and was then corrected. This has happened on at least 3 separate occasions, I have forgotten the details.

So, we're low balling teams and hoping some scraps fall into our laps?

Scraps on laps should be Neil's tagline

Woj says Philly likely to keep Okafor.

From what I'm reading from Philly fans, I'm glad. I don't want him.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Still plenty of time for another trade

works for me, seems like quite a few teams want picks, we have some, lets see what what might fall to us

makes sense like I wrote before, he's way cheap for 2 more years after this compared to Noel, and with Embid ya gotta have some insurance

 

[B-Roy]

I don't think we're getting a player....if anything happens it is probably us shipping off players for picks. Kind of dissapointing.

not for me and we know nothing yet, we made a nice deal for Nurk and perhaps there is a decent surprise left

I'm waiting for Detroit to call Neil back and give into the Drummond deal.

Don't hold your breath!

At least it's better than overpaying.

The prettiest sight at the end of the day will hopefully be looking at the Blazers Salary list and not seeing Meyers Leonard's Salary haha.

 

[Cippy91]

We should of went after nerlens

Maybe Neil has something up his sleeve?
