Trade Powell to Portland!

Powell is better than Trent and we get his bird rights, but also, wtf? Two open roster spots. Something else is coming..right?

 

[TBpup]

So we get even smaller....that is what this team needed. What a joke.

Powell isn't a bad player, but we are already jammed in the backcourt.

 

[Natebishop3]

This better be followed by another trade because the last thing we need is another short guard.

 

[B-Roy]

This is such a Neil move. Powell is good but he's a FA at the end of the year. And he makes less than Trent and Hood, so we go further under the tax line.

 

[MickZagger]

Okay now that is a nice fucking deal. You guys will love Powell

 

[speeds]

Powell is a stud. Enjoy.

 

[MickZagger]

Powell out in transition is one of the best in the league. A really good defensive guard.

 

[RR7]

He has a player option after this season, so could see them moving him at the deadline.

A Trent and Hood for Powell trade would be a Neil move, would remind me of Barton for Afflalo in some ways.

 

[MickZagger]

Best deadline deal we’ve made in years.

 

[Mr. Robot]

powell is a good player

hes an expiring contract, but has a player option for the next season

he surely resigns if we want to keep him

 

[calvin natt]

Meltdown for not getting Aaron Gordon and furious over Powell is peak S2

 

[James lamphear]

Powell becoming off the bench and better then Trent and Hood on both side of the ball this year he will the bench out a lot.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Good move

 

[Hoopguru]

I like Powell he's got energy too.

Gary's dad played in Toronto for a bit. Interestingly he went from Portland to Toronto as well.

 

[Scalma]

Bird rights are more valuable than ever as like 80% of the league is projected to be over the cap this summer. Idk why we would pay Powell and not Trent though. Still, this is an upgrade and frees up minutes for Little..assuming no other moves.

 

[calvin natt]

Powell is much better than Trent and I like Trent. And we couldn’t afford Trent. And everyone hated Hood. WTF are people complaining about

clears $ for the buyout market too.

 

[Scalma]

clears $ for the buyout market too.

I mean, didn’t we already have money to add someone?

 

[Cugel]

Yep ufa after the season. Lateral move. Good for trent. Hope he can get the limelight

I mean..... the fact that we traded for another guard and he's a UFA at the end of the year?

 

[Freshtown]

I hope cj is traded for a big wing or post piece

One addresses a gaping need in the front court.
One is an undersized scoring guard.
Seems like we didn't address the former....and already have plenty of the later.

Maybe wants more roster space for something else? Powell is better?

Cool! Can we DREAM a precursor to a CJ trade? LOL

 

[BlazerBeav]

Hood gone?! Today is a good day!

 

[wizenheimer]

Portland could sign 2 veterans with the space created due to pro-rated contracts. So, this positions them for the buyout market

 

[MickZagger]

Horford buy out would be nice

 

[Haakzilla]

...I'm guessing this clears the way for LMA return
