Yeah, he was a DNP coaches decision when we played them last. Hardly untouchable.He even was out of the rotation a week ago.

No, thanks.Do any of you want to take a shot on Wiggins?
That contract is nuts, but I think i'd like him more than someone like Blake or Love, and we could ask Minny to throw in some assets to take him on like Culver or their pick with protections, etc.

Sato is noticably better than Young and makes less. Sato would be a phenominal pickup.Whiteside for Thad Young and Satoransky.
Gets us really close to jumping out of the tax outright this summer while giving us a decent starting forward in Young and a really tall backup PG I like in Satoransky. Sato is a bit overpaid but I liked his game when he was in WAS. This saves CHI a ton of long term $.
If Whiteside stays Olshey better add some future pieces using one of his exceptions. Maybe that was the plan along. Dump money to add money.

Not bad! I doubt we'd get a 2nd and Covington in that deal so Sacramento would probably keep it or it would go to Minnesota but I like it overall. I wonder how Minnesota would feel about both players they are getting being restricted free agents. They'd be sooooo bad defensively too.To Kings: Whiteside
To Portland: Covington, Dedmond, 2020 2nd via Sac
To Minnesota: Bogdanovic, Skal, 2020 first via Portland
Gets Portland less than a million from dipping the tax. Shouldn’t be too hard to dump Hezonja or Biggie. Could even attach Hezonja to the trade and send him to the Kings.
Dame
CJ
Ariza
Covington
Nurkic
Melo off the bench.

On if Jody has told Olshey to dodge the tax
No. Allen knew what she was getting into when she signed off on the Whiteside trade this summer, which pushed the payroll to the highest in the league (after the Kings trade, the Blazers no longer hold that distinction).
As stated above, if they can get out of the tax, they will do it, but there is no edict. The front office is mindful of the repeater-tax penalties that loom after next season, when the fat extensions for Lillard and CJ McCollum kick in, but Allen has consistently shown she is committed to the Blazers and willing to pay the tax. Of course, eventually, that financial commitment will have to result in victories, but she understands that sometimes, seasons are derailed by injuries.

He also said he’s been told Portland will not consider trading their pick unless it’s for a top piece. They want to keep their assets, and they value the draft.
Worth a look?
As a result of the trade, Dallas will waive Justin Patton.
Okay I am confused the couple sites I checked shows Patton as being on OKC? How is Dallas waiving him?

Ya because this is the type of player Dame needs in his prime years.Worth a look?

Bro, I think you're stuck on a repeat cycle...Sure. Within a few days posters will complain about why he isn't playing and then after a week he will be our next all star. It seems to be what this forum does with end of the bench players.![]()

Make it Hayward and Tacko and you got a deal!Another target: Hayward. Boston reached out on Drummond and evidently backed off after hearing the asking price, presumably a first. Makes sense since he could easily leave in the summer.
Hayward would’ve almost assuredly been in that deal. How about Whiteside and Hezonja for Hayward and Poirier
If Allen is truly not as bothered by paying the tax, may as well.

I know the gist of what Quck said, and generally, I'm not buying it at all....unless of course he actually interviewed Jody Allen and she told him what she's thinking
We’ll find out in two weeks.

Olshey is just waiting for the Cavs to give a little more or drop the asking price on Love.Here’s what quick said re Whiteside
Do you think Hassan (Whiteside) will end up getting traded to get under the tax?
Would the Blazers like to get under the tax? Yes.
Is Olshey consumed with, or ordered to do so? No.
Will Olshey move Whiteside? If it nets a player who fits into the Blazers’ future, yes. But many of the players who would fit the Blazers’ needs and make the type of money that would make a Whiteside deal work are either hurt (Otto Porter Jr., Blake Griffin), entering the twilight of his career (LaMarcus Aldridge), or have undesirable contracts (Kevin Love, Thaddeus Young).
So in other words, I don’t believe Olshey is robo-calling each team trying to unload Whiteside. But he will certainly entertain offers. I would put Whiteside’s chances of staying in Portland at 50/50 right now.
