Moses Brown to undergo surgery

[B-Roy]

Who is Moses's agent? The Blazers must be doing him a solid.

Too late to cut him?

Keith Glass, claim to fame he worked with Dwight Howard. He's working with Yurtseven in Utah, and a couple more NBA bench players. Keith has the paperwork ready for several guards on international teams, and one big fella on a team i have no chance of pronouncing correctly.

Spotrac has him as a regular contract, not a two way. Not a huge deal but every dollar counts if we make a move and want to stay under the luxury tax.

Why haven't we waived him?

Three injured centers now

At this stage, i wonder if Duop doesn't want us to convert his contract considering what is happening to every other center we have on our books.

Why? For a center, getting a contract with the Blazers is a one-way ticket to surgery.

Ooops I used that word “Break”

Very good question.
IMO he should have been waived just on talent level alone. But we are now past the guaranteed date for him.


On another forum, I heard a rumor from someone that I trust saying that Reath might have trade value around the league... So Blazers are taking it slow in converting his contract. He can be traded as a 2-way contract, but not as a regular contract (since he'd have to wait 30+ days before being trade eligible).

Link? I'd rather just sign Reath to a cheap long term deal than move him for a second or something.

I wouldn't deal Reath for a second rounder. I think he is worth more to Portland than that.... but he could be worth a significant amount to a playoff team (Knicks?) in need of a C.

If Reath was traded, the receiving team would have the option to covert his contract to a minimum contract.
They could also negotiate a multiple year deal (likely for near minimum $).

Interesting. I wonder if we could get a 1st.

so, a day or two after Portland guarantees his contract he's scheduled for surgery?

good planning

Cycle? What part of the anatomy is that?

Tank commanding.

So do we know if he had an unguaranteed contract like Mays/Wainwright this week? I see multiple posts in this thread claiming opposite things.

Wouldn't make sense to guarantee it with surgery coming. If his deal was always guaranteed for the year then the last week makes sense, and we might just wait until after the trade deadline to cut him.

 

[HansenYang]

Its fully guaranteed on 1/10/24. He had to have cut 1/7/24 to be able to clear waivers before the guaranteed date.

If Portland would have cut him instead (or with) Mays & Wainright - there wouldn't be an issue.

At this point Browns contract is guaranteed for the season.

Well yes it's fully guaranteed now, but I don't understand how you know it was unguaranteed 2 days ago on January 7th?

Also was the agent for former Mavericks guard Mike Iuzzolino.

Obviously part of the tank being in.

Izzy!!! I mean, he’s certainly no Brad Davis, but the guy could hoop!

Open the link I provided. It details it right there.

I actually just saw him a couple of weeks ago. He's an assistant coach at Robert Morris now. His boy's is playing at a DIII school near where I live, too ... talk about how time flies.

...did his surgery have any impact on his FR form?! **video in slide 2
