Stupid question...there a deadline date that teams have to renounce FAs by or is that a whenever thing?

It's a whenever thing. As long as the FA hasn't signed a new deal, and the team hasn't completed any transactions that would require release of the cap hold, the FA bird rights can be held indefinitely.
 
Reports of Spurs interest in Mike Conley is overblown according to new sources. Also, Duncan opted-in for 5.6 MIL. So he could still retire (and they get that money back) but if he plays he has to play for that amount which means SAN could have less to spend then previous estimates (because those estimates had him either retiring or taking a 1 year minimum deal). Basically there is NO way they can get Kevin Durant at MAX without trading half their team (Green, Mills, Diaw and Parker).

Why does Duncan still want to play? He had a lot of firsts in his career last year and not in good ways. He should go out now and be happy he's had a great career

Some guys simply don't know when to let go.
 
I know we are not getting Al Horford but what shouldn't get overlooked is Atlanta will very likely want to do a complete rebuild if he goes (they've already offloaded Teague). If that happens then Millsap becomes available and a trade for Leonard, Plumlee and Cleveland's pick or Vonleh might become attractive. It's not a perfect deal but not sure they are getting better for a player who is 31 and makes $22M a year.

Then if we don't sign a big in free agency (probable) and 76ers express interest in Crabbe, we need to remember they have a dispensable center. They couldn't even get a top 8 pick for Noel or Okafor which means they are probably not as valued across the league as they might have thought, maybe they'd endorse the possibility of getting Crabbe + Vonleh/Cleveland's pick (whatever's left from Millsap deal) for Noel?

I would love to get Millsap. I don't think you can trade Leonard with other players, unless you sign him and wait until the trade restriction runs out.

Yep I think so. It'd probably be just before the start of season though? Isn't it strictly said that you cannot trade him with other resigned player though?

Yeah Millsap is pure perfection for our system.

I think he has to be traded by himself.

What if Atlanta goes after Howard and wants to keep Horford, but needs to get rid of Milsap to do it first. Maybe that becomes plan B for us.

No. The player has to agree to it as well.
It was probably a change the date, or we'll cut you type scenario.

Blazers today amended contract of forward Cliff Alexander, moving his guaranteed date from June 30 to July 25.

IF...we were going after Whiteside or Howard, the Alexander move seems more Dwight like than Hassan like.....unless you are trying to make 2 moves. You don't need an extra $800,000 to get Whiteside, you might to get Howard.

Two moves was my guess

Yup, and the hush-hush strategy they're employing right now would lean more towards trying to get Dwight. If teams don't suspect that we're trying to get him, they might think he'll be there as a second option. So like, if Atlanta loses Horford, they would turn to Howard, but maybe Neil is hoping to lock him up immediately. Go to Dwight and offer 25 or something in that ballpark. Try to get him to commit while other teams are chasing Durant and Horford.
 
Whiteside and Bazemore. Or Biyombo/Mahinmi and Bazemore, more like.

Literally none

If I were a betting man, Howard and Parsons would be odds on favorite for me as what the Blazers WILL do, not should

I'm resigning myself to Howard; I like Parsons as the second move. We would have a very potent front line for as long as they could stay on the court.

I'm just not seeing how we're gonna make a second move. At least a second free agent....

Let's say we get Howard to take a pretty massive paycut and even sign for 20 million a year. That still only gives us like 7 million in cap space without cutting Crabbe/Harkless/Leonard.

Obviously if we cut Leonard or the other guys we will have more money, but I don't really see that happening.

Now a trade on the other hand..... if we could get Howard to sign for 20-22 million, having that extra cushion could give us the space to make a lopsided trade. I'm hoping Horford leaves and the Hawks blow it up.
