WOJBOMB

 

[blazedanugz]

does this have any roster spot implications?

 

[Natebishop3]

Championship baby!

 

[Scalma]

This is interesting because once Ezeli leaves it opens up a roster spot.

No i dont think so. we'd be at 15

 

[illmatic99]

HOU is trying to get over the cap to get their full MLE

 

[julius]

damnit! I wanted firsts..

Anyways, I wonder what this means, if anything. I'm guessing it is probably more for the available roster spot than anything.

 

[chzbrgr]

Is this just the first domino or do we wait until the deadline?

 

[Scalma]

No, we had 16. Subtract Quarterman and Ezeli and you get......

 

[blazedanugz]

so we can use the mini MLE now?

 

[Sweetriverphil]

This puts our summer league championship aspirations in serious jeopardy. I really wish Neil would stop making these short sighted moves.

We had 17 with PatC

 

[BigGameDamian]

I wonder what Dame and C.J think of the trade?

It couldn't have been for much cash since he is a non-guaranteed contract. Could be the smallest, least impactful trade in NBA History! ~Bill Walton

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We couldn't even get a 2nd round pick out of this?

 

[BlazerBeav]

How will cash effect Meyers' spot in the rotation?

 

[Scalma]

Fuck you're right. Whatever, roster spots don't matter too much right now, it's not like we have to cut it down to 15 by Friday.

 

[riverman]

People in Houston are all saying....Tim who?

I'm disappointed we didnt get more. They need non-guaranteed contracts to sign possibly a top 2 NBA point guard. Should have conceded at least a 2nd

Huh? They already traded for a top 3 PG

 

[Scalma]

The more I think about it, the more I believe that Vonleh will be traded at some point, maybe sooner rather than later. I just can't see portland paying him next summer, especially with Collins and Swanigan around. Vonleh has value. Harkless has value. If we packaged one or both with a first I think we could get a solid starter in return. That's the best package we could offer this summer.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Clearing room for return of the other Tim - i.e. Frazier.

I am sure you probably wrote that in jest but the Wizards gave up a 2nd round pick to New Orleans for Frazier to be their backup PG.

they have the 58th pick next year, and that pretty much is equal to a free agent.

The problem is there just aren't very many sfs that would be realistic i think we could get that would be an obvious upgrade. I would want to put together a package for harrison barnes but dallas won't.

I wasn't too excited about the pf's possible available either. Which is weird because there were a bunch of good pfs just a few years ago.

How about a sign and trade for Millsap?

Harkless or Aminu, Vonleh, Ezeli, and a first.
