If the Blazers are serious about reducing salary I would consider ET + 2nd for Rondo - Rondo has 1 year guaranteed and after that a $3m buyout - and they replace the one sub-par shooting 3rd ball-handler for another.

Personally I like ET a lot - I think he will be a lot better in the 2nd year with some bigs that he can play PnR with - but if there is a real need to shed some salary - this is a move that is acceptable for Portland and gives Chicago another pick - for the upcoming rebuild.

The cheap ass Chicago FO just sold an early second for 3.5 million. They are in talks of buying out Wade's 24M contract. What makes you think they would take on Turner's additional $45 million or so (over Rondo) for a measly second rounder?

LMAO.
 
What properly going to happen is that Davis and either Aminu or Harkless going be gone. Aminu if stays I see him moving back to small foward. They will try attach ML to any trade there going to do.
 
Meyers + Napier + Quarterman to Minnesota for Rubio.

Why Minnesota does it: It shaves an additional $2mil for the Teolves to be able to pursue Kyle Lowry this summer. Napier provides them with a backup pg and Leonard an additional shooter.

Why we do it. Rubio to me is an ideal 3rd guard to pair with CJ and Dame providing extra length and decent steal capability, he also expires a year before Meyers does so we also shorten our cap obligations.
 
Go get Blake Griffin now! Figure out a way, Neil. Get 'er done.

Meyers, Ezeli and Davis are all on the chopping block and if NO nails an asset in return, I fully believe they are gone.

Vonleh will not go anywhere for at least one more year. He was our starter for a reason.
 
I was actually going to start a thread on this - we really only need one move this summer and that is to find a defensive oriented third guard.

By far my #1 option is Marcus Smart - there isn't a close second.

Patrick Beverly would be #2 on my list.

Gotta get rid of Crabbe to do that IMHO. That guard would get no PT.
 
What a horrible fucking trade for CHI.... :smiley-pat:
And for us.

When is someone going to gift us an all star final championship puzzle piece?

Don't answer that.

Hopefully it's Harkless is the one that is gone!
 
When do we release Ezili? I thought Olshey said he was going to dump him.

He will...but he could be traded before we have his option...2nd year is our option I think...Connaughton will expire in July too I believe
 
Lavine is better than any of the guys we want to deal, the 7 pick is worth more than any of the guys we want to deal, and Dunn is a top-5 pick all of 1 year into his career.

To compare any of our expendable assets to what the Bulls received from Minnesota is completely disingenuous.

He's not better than Crabbe, Moe, or Turner when given starter minutes and they're the #1 or #2 option on their team. Which they all would be if they had gotten traded to Chicago or Indiana.

Tell me why they wouldn't be? Especially for Crabbe.
 
Rubio also fits that mold - he is one of the better defensive PGs out there. His advanced numbers are actually right there with Smart on this end.

I think so too. I would think any of those 3 would be fairly easy to trade, since they are on reasonable contracts, not too long, and are not bad players. We'd probably only get a 2nd round pick though. Maybe we can get a young prospect that hasn't panned out (like Vonleh).

Scorer's mentality; insane athleticism; youth. Lavine has all of these over Crabbe. Remember, he was the 3rd option behind KAT and Wiggins, and Crabbe was basically the second option most of the time he was on the floor. Yet Crabbe took nearly 50% fewer shots per 36 than Lavine. He's simply not aggressive enough to carry a team's offense. Possibly because he can't create any offense for himself.

I stand by my statement. Each asset given by Minnesota is better than any asset we were willing to offer for Butler. It wasn't close.

Nothing is for sure, but et is 3 years younger, so there is some value there.

I lived in Chicago and followed that debacle of a front office for years. Let me tell you now, there is a -1408% chance they take on that Turner contract, even if you gave them a potential lottery pick.
 
Timberwolves still won't make the playoffs.

Wiggins, Rubio, and Dieng are all average to below average NBA starters. That also have little good depth and they don't have a single good 3pt shooter on the entire team. Not worried.
 
Even though he's getting older Tony Allen would be great off the bench for the Blazers!

I agree with this, Minn didn't solve their late game issues with Butler.
They'll have to hope for internal growth with that...
Well and Thibbs will need to learn forcing Wiggins to go 1 on 5 isn't a high % play call.
 
With a glut of bigs I think Neil can take a risk on a prospect who probably could use a change of scenery.

Before he came to Portland Mo Harkless was racking up DNPs in Orlando.

With Swanigan and Collins I think Vonleh will be moved. He's probably the most movable piece we have oufside the core.

My idea:

To Orlando: Noah Vonleh | Tim Quarterman (for cap purposes)
To Portland: Mario Hezonja
