Enes just looks like a whiny dude and this makes no sense. Dude's never played with LeBron, the dude is constantly saying shit that makes no sense and it's fucking tired. How many players have taken pay cuts so they could play with Enes? Now how many guys in the league have taken huge pay cuts to try and win with LeBron. LeBron wasn't going to get guys black balled or whatever the fuck Enes is inferring that LeBron can dictate. Nah, players choose to play with LeBron for less than they could make elsewhere every year since he took his talents to South Beach.

Sour grapes from a dude who very rarely makes a good point.

Big John? Isn’t that the name of those giant dildos they used to sell in the back of Hustler?

that cash is about the only leftover from the Olshey whoopsies. Complicated that era was. The following 3 years of whoopsies has been fortuitous, as the ping pong era landed top rookies Shaedon, Scoot, and Clingan.

27. Portland Trail Blazers
Besides sending Malcolm Brogdon and a draft pick to the Wizards for forward Deni Avdija, the Trail Blazers have been quiet this offseason. They have no cap space, are up against the luxury tax and the trade market is dry -- is there anything they can do? The hope for Portland is that its young core continues to improve and will eventually blossom into players who can lead them to wins, but in the meantime, it will be hard for the Blazers to make any true progress. -- Andrews

Yay! Now we don't need to worry about trading Grant this year. We will still get a 14% chance........

it's true that Portland paid a pretty steep price for Avdija. Two first's, both of which could be lottery picks, 5 years apart; a couple of 2nd's + Brogdon. So yeah, the Wizards sold Avdija for a solid haul....maybe a great haul depending on 2029

but the author of that article was a little too dismissive of Portland's POV. To start with, in a short article he said the Wizards "fleeced" Portland 4 different times. He needed to find another label and vary the verb. So he gets a couple of demerits for lack of imagination

Also, yeah, there were a couple of 2nd round picks but those are pretty minor assets easy to replace.

he's also trying to count Saddiq Bey as part of the trade and that's just fucking idiotic. He's claiming the trade made the space necessary to sign Bey, apparently. But Brogdon's salary is 6.4M more than Avdija's so the Wizards would have had the space anyway

finally, he's trying to count whatever assets the Wizards might get for Brogdon as part of the haul and people around here can recognize how hollow that kind of asset can be. I mean, we were hoping that Brogdon might fetch back a late first. But the Blazers had to add two first's to Brogdon in order to extract any value

A huge part of the deal (which wasn't mentioned) was the extra cap space we got, which got us out of the apron. Getting under the apron has allowed us to not have to take crap deals on our vets.

Yeah.... counting Bey is just moronic.

this Fansided Wizards person sure is confident. While i'm sure their owner is estatic about escaping the fire and brimstone of Bradley Beal's supermax, their 2nd best player is Jordan Poole. The mess in DC is far from being over.
