Merged: Portland Rumors, Served Hot

[SwissBlazer]

You cannot sign & trade when you are above apron, can you?

I would think so.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

You are correct.

 

[Sinobas]

It's Zach Collins.

Their beatwriters and RubeChat are convinced that's the guy they're targeting.

Those fucking assholes are copying us.

which isn't perfect, but I'm actually fine with.

If they get quality players, than 'Yes'. If it's a Meyers Leonard, Jake Layman type of day, then 'No'.

There's actually about 10 players outside the top 12 I'd be happy with this year.

I apologize if this was mentioned in another thread. I listen to a lot of Dallas area radio - Gavin Dawson, blast from the past -- and they mentioned we offered our first two picks to move up to the T Wolves pick. Apparently, Dallas is after the same pick. Anyway, Minny turned it down because they want the same player we are targeting. Who knows, maybe it resurrects or maybe a three way deal goes down.

If that is all we offered, it's no wonder we aren't making any deals.

Millsap, Porzinigs or George. Any outcome is a good one.

Kevin Love?

 

[TBpup]

Kevin Love?

Not even Courtney Love.

Rumor: People might bitch regardless of the moves we do or don't do

This isn't "rumor," this is fact

 

[Trackjack]

If you can't get someone to trade with I guess you will keep your picks. But it also telling me other teams not interested in taking on some of our veterans off our hands.

 

[Scalma]

Chad ford said that? Too bad tweets can't be edited.

Trying to package 20 and 26 for a Lottery pick? I suppose you can try...but that seems pretty unrealistic unless a player or other assets are attached.

 

[noknobs]

 

[Scalma]

20/26 might get us into the back end of the lottery if say Harkless was attached to it.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

It always astounds me that some of the noobs on this board think Olshey "isn't doing anything." He's ALWAYS very active, though not much always comes of it.

And then if/when it doesn't happen they blame Olshey, like it's completely up to him.

Yeah, seems like 15 would need to be involved to get into lotto...

 

[illmatic99]

I think we're ok being in the tax for one year. It'll be much easier to dump our shit contracts next year anyway to get under for 2019. Dumping contracts should not be a priority now.

 

[lawai'a]

You are correct.

what is the $ amount at the "apron"? thanks

 

[santeesioux]

I saw a Nugget fan on another forum saying they'd trade the 13th pick for our two lower ones, so I guess it isn't too weird to think it could happen.

 

[dviss1]

I promise not to bitch as long as we trade for Porzingis and George, AND draft 2k.

Did I miss something? Who's 2K?

 

[TBpup]

Yes, but never confuse activity with productivity.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Did I miss something? Who's 2K?

I was wondering that too, Kyle Kuzma?

 

[Scalma]

Did I miss something? Who's 2K?

Ferguson. I think.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

apron is $4M above the tax line.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

And I thought I was the only guy on here who couldn't make this "obvious" connection.
