Yur stoopid.

42 poster, great analysis.

The more I look at Livingston the more I'd like to sign him. He has the intangibles especially passing that would be great in a Stotts offense. He's still young, what 28? He can start if need be but doesn't care about shots or minutes.

Agreed. Since Brooklyn can use their tax-MLE and sign him up to $3.3M, are we willing to go above that to bring Livingston on board? You're right, he's 28, going on 29 next season. I wouldn't mind seeing the Blazers offer him a 3 year contract starting around $4M, with team options for years 2 and 3 in case he runs into more injury issues. I think Brooklyn will out bid us if we only try to use our BAE at $2.1M.

I would trade Trob, as Hill is a backup PF/C so he fills two positions, Trob can't play C, I would also consider trading Trob and CJ to Philly for That Young, then use the BAE on a backup PG. Thad and Hill give us a potent bench and front line with a lot of flexibility.

Hill will not be a member of the Trail Blazers.

Worrying about the backup PG before recruiting serious players using our MLE is foolish if you ask me. Get the BPA through FA and bolster the bench....and then.....try to sign a PG who will only play a max of 16 minutes per game. I think the combo of McCollum and Barton will grow and probably be ok for this role. I would like to have a true PG for another option though.

I'd rather focus attention on BPA first. We may be able to re-sign Mo anyway. He may not get the offers he's looking for.

This is exactly what Neil Olshey said he plans on doing. He trusts Stotts can figure out how to make a roster work. I mean it's the bench, it doesn't have to follow the NBA meta as closely as the starters.
