Merged: Portland Rumors, Served Hot

[OSUBlazerfan]

Having a nice slice of pizza, and heard Portland and Sacramento talking about 10. Portland trying to hold on to 15. No idea who target is. My own guess is Collins.

Get #10 to package for PG13, and then still pick someone you want at #15

I know Olshay likes to play it close to the vest, but this is just weird. Not a single rumor about a possible Portland deal. Usually there are at least one or two by this time on draft day. Is Olshay on vacation or just asleep at the switch like Phil Jackson?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Yes, there have been several rumors. You can follow along in the 10s of threads

 

[Strenuus]

There's a whole thread that's titled "Portland rumors" lol

 

[Eastoff]

Can we crack down on these kinds of threads?

 

[THE HCP]

[The Professional Fan]

With what Portland is offering to the Spurs, no way they take that.

So indy is just not interested in anything besides whatever the Spurs have to offer according to rumors? okaaaaaaay

It's not over till its over, but certainly feels like NO has put out the most he's willing to give for potentially a rental

OKC is said to be shopping Kanter....who's salary would match Crabbe's..both make about 18 mil...Kanter has two years on his contract left. OKC needs 3 pt shooting

Frank and John Collins sorta kinda match the Blazer look with their suits

Makes perfect logic imo.
Less bigs to steal rebounds from Westbrick, and when Westbrick is hunting assists instead of trying to win the game. He can pass to Crabbe for 3.

 

[dviss1]

I just think he's an asset. What does JJ Redick do thats better than Crabbe? He's going to be making 15M+ and hes like 30

Start and make more shots.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

John Collins with the Blazer colors suit.

Same thing RHJ did:

it does....and Kanter next to Nurk with Aminu backing him up would be offense or defense options. I think it's a doable trade..win win

So theres a guy we want at 15 that we know will be available there. And we want one in the top 10 that we are scared either Cha, Det, or Den will take.

My $ is on Frank at 15.
Collins at 10.

 

[B-Roy]

I wouldn't mind John Collins. By all accounts he's a hard worker and he's NBA ready.

His own coach thinks he's unplayable in the playoffs. Stay away from guys like that

My $ would be on OG.

who really knows if any of this is true anyways, woj is the only guy that is to trust pretty much, everything else is just "sources"

Og at 10?

 

[riverman]

Well....he's on the block but he's a solid PF with an IQ and a midrange game...good rebounder..and he's an upgrade from Allen Crabbe for less money and fewer years

 

[riverman]

That would be Westbrook......Adams loves him

I'm not a Kanter fan, but Donnavan can't play Kanter b/c Westbrick doesn't pass the ball to him.
