Mirotic to New Orleans for Asik and a 1st round pick (revived)

[BlazerBeav]

Means we'll face depleted teams the next two nights. Gotta get both.

The olshey bashing begins in 3... 2... 1...

 

[THE HCP]

Former Blazer Omer Asik?

 

[Denny Crane]

Seems like we could have beat that offer.

 

[Scalma]

Fuck offering a first for Mirotic. Was always against that. Good for Chicago though.

 

[THE HCP]

Wish we had a thread designated for all the things that happen ARRRRRRROUUUUUNNNNDDDDD THE NBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cippy91]

It’s a move to hopefully keep them in the playoff race after Demarcus went down. Portland won’t do anything and it’s up for debate whether they even should because they are playing good basketball right now. Don’t know who else would be out there to try and trade for anyway

 

[BrianFromWA]

As much a Blazer as Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and less than Justin Jackson.

Not as much as Federico Kammerichs.

Why? Maybe he just doesn't happen to have a phone.

Why give up a first round pick for Asik? He doesn't even sniff the court and is overpaid already.....we don't need another bench center

Chicago took a useless backup C with a big contract and a 1st for a young stretch 4.

I think we could have beat that offer for Mirotic.

 

[BrianFromWA]

well, we're kind of settling the trade deadline pricing down...

1st plus 2 ok starters: Blake Griffin and Salary Matching
1st plus Salary Dump: Nicola Mirotic.

Unfortunately, many Blazer fans seem to want:
Salary Dump + Salary Dump = 3rd or 4th option.

Still busy looking for valet parking.

 

[Lukee]

Mirotic is just meeh. Didn't want him here.

He doesn't move the needle from my view...a lateral move..if he's the target...I'm not excited about it

Can @HCP stop mowing lawns long enough to take care of that for Neil so he can work on trades?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Joe Dumars is clogging up all the lines...

I think Mirotic would be a HUGE upgrade from Aminu at PF.

16.8 PPG, .429 from 3pt, 6.4 RPG in only 24.9 MPG.

PER 36 are 24.3 PPG and 9.2 RPG

He has a 22.2 PER

His 108 DRtg is 2nd best on the Bulls.

He's 25 years old.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Joe Dumars is clogging up all the lines...

Plus the third phone line for his dial up modem.

BNM

I like NO's drafting ability, but is he going to get that kind of performance out of the next 1st round pick? There's no guarantee.

Joe's favorite movie growing up...

Are you suggesting that merging this thread into the "Around the NBA" thread should be my first official moderation action?

I'll let this thread roll for about another hour or so, assuming it gets activity, and then do precisely that.

 

[Denny Crane]

I wouldn't merge.

Looking at the Forum's home page, you see the big news in the thread titles. The trades are big news, no?

Blake Griffin is a superstar, and a blockbuster trade makes waves throughout the league, and significantly impacts the likelihood of other teams, including the Blazers, making subsequent deals. Mirotic is....not.

But I'll defer to your judgment.

It's still news of interest, IMO.

 

[illmatic99]

Wow, didn't think that Asik contract was tradeable.

Need to see protection on NO pick.

 

[tester551]

Why? Maybe he just doesn't happen to have a phone.

Are you insinuating that his wings have been clipped by PA & his power/responsibilities has been limited?

 

[BlazerBeav]

My thought of course was that it affects the Blazers directly in 36 hours as a future opponent, but feel free to move without objection
