damn, there are some decent small salary players changing teams. Like to see the Blazers in on it but in this case, either of those players would have challenged Simons for playing time and we can't have that

Why? Simons is garbage and the most overrated Blazer in years

Yeah, the hope is that they're searching for another 1st to use in the Kennard trade and still have one. One first seems like not quite enough and two 1sts seems like too much.

Although they got Oubre for a bargain and actually received a 1st for taking on Baynes so they're not necessarily needing to recoup similar value to what they gave up. But yeah, too good for us to actually happen.
 
It's really depressing seeing all these teams making moves and improve and y'all know Neil is not gonna do anything because he's to scared to make a risk
 
This contract extension stuff is fascinating. It's a new wrinkle in acquiring guys with expiring contracts that I hadn't considered. Miami is just about to get both Iggy and Gallo in the same manner.

I'd be all for using our TPE and pick for a guy like Bertans and working out an extension for him prior to the trade so we don't lose him for nothing.

Really didn't think this kinda future deal posturing was legal.

in OLSHEY we Trust!

something’s coming....

a) a Whiteside extension?
b) a CJ trade?
c) an Ariza trade
d) a Whiteside / CJ trade to Minny for Townsend and pick?

I don’t see much happening outside of a, b, or c above
 
Sure! We are looking like the Oakland Raiders, giving old timers a second chance; Melo, Toliver, Ariza...why not Nene!?
 
Look at the return Miami got for all their bad contracts from 2016... and then realize Neil will have nothing to show for his when he doesn’t trade Whiteside and he walks at end of year

What risk are you talking about?
It takes two teams to trade and both teams usually want to feel it was a fair trade.
Also, he was making trades before many other teams were.
You want to risk trading Dame for anyone where the other team thinks it’s absolutely fair?
I’d rather stand pat fight for the playoff spot with getting Nurk and Z back with Whiteside rather than a future future 2 round pick or a scrub.
We have the off season to make trades also.

He made a trade already. I have lots of complaints with NO but the last year theyve almost completely reshaped the roster, and they were active last year at the deadline and this year theyve made a move too. No exec of any business is going to take “risk” just for the sake taking risk. I dont think we can accuse NO of not doing anything the last year.

He has taken a huge risk when other teams wouldn't with signing Melo.

I mean, I'm hoping for the big splashy trade as well, because they're fun, but 100% this. Not only did he just make a trade 2 weeks ago, he took the roster of a WCF team and turned over half of it this offseason and he gets accused of sitting on his hands doing nothing. Take issues with the actual moves, fine. But to yell about inactivity is asinine. He could have said hey, we were in WCF, we're gonna take another run at it all with this crew.

Well at the time I don't know if that was a huge risk, they had like a month or so to try him out before they had to really commit. It does seem like he took quite a few risks last summer though, since they made the WCF's and then pivoted on literally about half of the roster (even if most of it was role players and such). I get that the risk people want him to take is trading CJ for 4 McChickens and a small order of fries but that's much easier for us fans to talk about then it is for an exec to do, because the "risk" is closer to Orange than Green on the risk meter.

I don’t think you can use the excuse “just for the sake of taking a risk” after 8 years! At some point you have to take your chance and Neil is afraid... that’s why this team will remain in purgatory.

He took a risk by not Trading LMA, he took a crap ton of risks in 2016 (we don't need to rehash all that), almost every action and non-action in business has risk involved. He does take risks. He might not be taking the "risk" you want him too, but your narrative from a business sense is not factual. The risk you want is trading CJ, but you have no idea if that's on the table, what his trade value actually is.
Also no exec is successful for long taking Orange / Red risks over and over. You basically get one shot if it works you keep your job if it doesn't you lose it. If no trade or orange / red move is available that he thinks would work out, it would be pretty stupid for him to do it.

You are obviously happy with mediocrity... that was a cute little run we had lat year before getting swept by Warriors again. Probably the worst thing that could’ve happened to this franchise because it temporarily covered the flaws of this roster. Blazers will never get near that success again in Dames prime if Neil wastes Whiteside expiring contract. He will not re sign here to be a backup to a player he is arguably better than. Also, the Warriors will be back next season, and with a top 5 pick to trade. Purgatory
