Wow, only top 8 protected.

HOU makes out like bandits in this. A low lottery pick for a RFA who has back issues and a Jodie Meeks clone?

SVG seems hellbent on making the playoffs

It's not a low lottery pick if Detroit is not in the lottery.

It could be anywhere between 9-20. Still great value.

Is it for sure this year's pick? Oops never mind....I see that it is. Yeah that is a good trade for Houston.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Detroit is making the playoffs, who gives a shit about protection?

 

[illmatic99]

Is it for sure this year's pick?

Top 8 this year, top 10 protection for 2 years after. It's probably going to be converted this year with their newly improved roster in DET.

I agree. Pistons have a solid roster now for a run. Their D is strong enough to get to the 2nd round as long as they avoid the 8th seed.

Frye to Cavs reported by Frank Isola

 

[illmatic99]

We're getting Varejao. Sam Amick tweeted.

ugh. Better be some good incentives there.

 

[Scalma]

Oh no were getting sideshow bob 2

 

[craigehlo]

Nooooooo!

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[Scalma]

Fuck we better get a good pick

 

[PDXFonz]

 

[Scalma]

So who gets cut/moved?

 

[TBpup]

Why are the Blazers sending out picks? Neil doesn't seem to like Draft picks very much...

That's bullshit. No way blazers take on that contract AND send out picks. Unless of course were getting a player

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Until Woj tells me what Portland will announce in their press conference I won't believe any details.

 

[Natebishop3]

From everything I've heard, Frank Isola is NOT a reliable source.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Nope. Not when you're rebuilding

We're not rebuilding.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

We're not rebuilding.

Srsly.

If we make the playoffs this year, we've basically proven that Dame was always the star, and the other four were key role players, not stars in their own right. Which is why SAS was genius to give Tex the role they did: key role player behind Duncan/Leonard.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

BTW, Isola was the first to report this yesterday. And all you jumped on him.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I don't care who has it first. What I care about is who has it correct (complete and right).

 

[Scalma]

We're not rebuilding.

Overachieving doesn't change things. Portland is still a fringe playoff team right now. You better hope they're rebuilding.

Gotta be a classic misreport, receiving picks instead of giving picks.

 

[craigehlo]

Classic misreport, receiving picks instead of giving picks.

It's a 3-team deal. It didn't say pick from which team. Relax.

 

[B-Roy]

Gotta be a classic misreport, receiving picks instead of giving picks.

We are sending a 2nd round pick to Orl.

[craigehlo]

Foye to OKC is a nice move for them.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Foye to OKC is a nice move for them.

Eh, just a slightly less dumb Waiters imo

 

[craigehlo]

Rockets gauging value of Pat Beverly. Gotta trade for him so Dame and him can go at it in practice. I just want to see that fight.
