I know sooner or later we are going to hear about the Blazers meeting with someone . . . right?

From yesterday, LeBron will not be present during free agency meetings w/ teams; agent, Rich Paul to handle talks

That sounds like a guy that's going back to the Heat.

They seem to be better at covering up leaks to the media... right?

This. I don't remember hearing anything about the blazers interest in either hibbert or splitter until FA actually started.

Seems like the writing on the wall. Biggest factor to me is Wade opted out, I think he only does that if the big three plan to stay in South Beach.

Sources: Cavaliers flying to NJ today to offer @KyrieIrving max deal (5 yrs, $90 million) on July 1

Denny, I want a max deal!

I get the feeling that if we gave you a max deal you would just get lazy and "dog" it.

Yes but I would look good doing it.

He is Han Solo; maybe Denny is worried he's too "shoot first".

Ok Sly, Max deal offer 5yrs 20 dog biscuits per

Damian Lillard has named his top free agent target: Mo Williams.

(The others mentioned are: Channing Frye, Vince Carter, the Matrix and Trevor Ariza. Not much of an endorsement of Dorrell Wright, then.)

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Dame's a good company man. He knows not to sour relations with Mo.

I thought that - I hope you're right. It's also that they're probably buddies - everybody on the team seems to like Mo.

Like Lillard, none of those guys plays a lick of defense.

Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes
On Mo Williams front, told the free agent guard has no meetings set with other teams: "His only goal is to get something done with #Blazers"

 

[santeesioux]

I guess we can put the Collison, Thomas, Hinrich, etc pipedreams to rest. Lillard wants him back, so that's probably what will happen.

Thank god.

The Matrix doesn't play a lick of defense?

 

[Draco]

Mo on a one year deal for $3.2 million, as a non bird free agent would be fine with me. He could be easily traded if he becomes unhappy with his role and it wouldn't impact our flexibility next summer. We'd still have the full MLE to spend on a wing or big man.

It sounds like Mo does a lot to help the team behind the scenes as well.

I just hope we don't give him a full MLE multi year deal out of the gate. That is my worst fear for Blazer free agency.

 

[cmeese47]

Really Marion and Ariza are both solid defenders Frye and Carter I agree with

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Signing guys to one year deals are a waste. I don't care about flexibility next year. To get that flexibility we would have to renounce Lopez and Wes which I would never do. Use the mle this year for a three year deal and try to lock Mo will up for two to three years with the non bird exception.

Blazers signed Mo late and on the cheap last year . . . makes me wonder if there was a little secret handshake, opt out and we will have the full MLE to play with next summer and take care of you then.

To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to Ariza. But when I remembered him from before, I thought his specialty was defense and the three? Has it changed?

 

[RoyToy]

I can't believe Mo Williams is seriously coming back when Chalmers is right there

Fucking Neil is going to waste a whole year

Don't try to reason with it, it's just a bot at this point.

I was with you until the word "Chalmers".

If there was a chance to have chalmers or mo, I would sign chalmers without question. Is it even a possibility?

 

[magnifier661]

You don't like Chalmers? Bro the dude is a champion and is a good distributor
