I think we're confusing the prime years of max players ...All these geriatric players have or will have max deals that carry into their low to mid 30s

The only guys on that list that deserve max contracts at that age are Durant and LBJ. I wouldn't pay ANY of the other guys anywhere near $30M in their 30s.
 
I would certainly sign Horford given the opportunity, he'd be great for us. However, I don't even think Neil could convince a guy was born in the Dominican Republic, went to school in sunny Florida, and played his entire pro career in Atlanta, to magically decided that he wants to play with a bunch of young guys in Rainy middle-of-nowhere Oregon.

I'm NOT saying PDX is an undesirable FA home, but some like it hot, and I would imagine Al Horford being one of those people.

The time these guys spend in Portland outside of basketball is really overrated...they still own homes in the warmer climates and travel all year..when they get a day off, they're going to sleep or hang out in a house anyway.
 
Portland in the offseason has frickin' awesome weather...when it's 110 degrees in Los Angeles...Portland looks awfully good in the summer

in a hypothetical word- the deal is worked out in the background, and the trade is agreed to on this premise. This keeps the competition to a minimum for his services... technically against the CBA but I've always heard rumblings of this kind of thing happening. That's only justification for going the route of the trade in my opinion- even then, I'm not someone who wants Horford here now anyways.

If he wants to come to Portland he can sign here in the offseason. Why give up Allen Crabbe for 3 months of Horford? It's not like we're ready to strike for a championship.

Yeah but the hairy, smelly, Birkenstock wearing broads of Portland can't compare to Nicki Minaj body typed gals in LA

Send them to Corvallis and Eugene. Hot babes everywhere.

When I moved back to Portland it was depressing. Not nearly as many attractive women.

Corvallis>Eugene for hot chicks. Eugene is too much like Portland, I mean if you're close to student housing it could be okay... but...

Still, neither really have my type... SE Portland and Salem have the thick Black/Latina women.

Because 3 months will show him what a good fit he is for us. It'll also hey us the 6th seed which will get us more respect from other free agents as well.

What else are we gonna do with the money? Sign a bench peice and average big? Or have 3 years of borderline all star level play followed by 2 years of a good starting level play? I'd take the latter

I don't know if I'd even want Monroe for a salary dump. I never understood why he was coveted.

Full disclaimer: I am not an NBA nut and don't really watch games of other teams. I only care about the Blazers. I only look at stats and watch Gametime on the other teams.

Please take that in consideration when replying back.

Thank you.

Instead of Monroe what about someone like Thaddeus Young? He is averaging nearly a double double and we could absorb his contract while giving Brooklyn cap space. Plus he would be under team control for 3-4 years.
 
Track town USA is filled with hot women that are fit and jogging or bicycling all over the place....you guys realize how many California girls have relocated to Oregon over the last decade? It's hardly the country fair type anymore.

We only get the methed out three strike ones down here. I don't think the Beach Boys were singing about those particular California Girls.

Thad young could have an Andre igoudala type thing brewing. Standout player for the 76ers but he's kind of regressed since his career year. I don't think he's the guy you bring in at this point, but if he hasn't landed on a contender in 2-3 seasons then he could be a big signing.

Actually they were but those girls are 60 now and can no longer afford their coke habits....that and the stellar witness protection plan Klamath offers women who are skipping out on their probation....You're essentially stuck with the Carrie Fishers from the last Star Wars movie
 
Rip City Project article on Trade Options for Gerald Henderson. http://ripcityproject.com/2016/02/07/gerald-henderson-trade-market/

  • for Otto Porter - 6'8" SF and former #3 pick still on his rookie deal. WAS wants a veteran and has another young SF in Kelly Oubre.
  • for Josh McRoberts and a 2nd Rnd pick. Helps provide depth if Meyers leaves to a huge contract offer. McBob is a very good passing PF.
  • for Jamychal Green, Vince Carter and a 2nd Rnd pick. Green is an Olshey type of value player, cheap and with potential.
  • for Tony Snell, Kirk Hinrich (both cap friendly contracts) and filler.
 
I'm all for Otto porter. I like oubre too but don't see much of a difference between him and harkless.

Could you explain how Young, who as I said is averaging nearly a double double has "regressed"? Are you saying he's only putting up those kind of numbers because he is on a terrible team like the Nets and if he was picked up by the Blazers those numbers wouldn't translate and he would actually be worse?

I would think Young would be even more effective because he would have Lillard and McCollum distributing the ball to him, who are better players compared to what the Nets have.
 
Actually I'd prolly trade Henderson for Oubre too, unless Henderson gave off signals he'd re-sign

Porter's only problem is he can't stay healthy. He's been showing signs of putting it together though.
