Salary Cap Space: Portland

[Labinot41]

I appreciate that you are unhappy with this roster especially if you see the Dame/CJ back court as the nightmare that I do. That being said, if you being a fan of the Blazers is based on what moves we make or how good we are, then please be my guest and find another team that you can maybe be a real fan of. I would suggest the Lakers or Celtics... they have rich histories and are never complacent unless they are in the finals.

I did listen to Mike Richmann's Podcast last year and he mentioned the same that the Blazers are a boring team from the outside even though we have Dame. Before the bubble he said that the Blazers are a bit more interesting with the return of Nurkic, because he gives the Team some nasty and pettyness and some swag. Another thing is you never hear something about the Blazers in rumors, Neil never leaks anything

Are you counting dead money?

Yes. Different sites had slightly different numbers for a few of the players, but here's my estimate:
Lillard $31.63M
McCollum $29.35M
Nurkic $12.0M
Hood $6.0M
Collins $5.41M
Simons $2.25M
Little $2.21M
Hezonja $1.88M
Trent Jr $1.67M
#16 Pick $3.12M
Ariza $1.8M
Varejao $1.98M
Nichols $2.84M

Total: $102.1M

I am getting bored with this team, no big changes and I'm pretty much gone

Spoken like a true fan.

I have already heard of a deal that’s been agreed to. Who knows whether it’s true or not?


Bobby Marks of ESPN
I had one agent – because I was talking about his free agent and salary projections, right? And he said, “Hey, you’re really low. I’ve already got two offers from two different teams.”



Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports:
Multiple teams are asking the NBA for clarity on offseason dates. Because of how tight windows are, teams would like some direction on dates beyond just the November 18 NBA Draft. There are rumors circulating that some free agents have already reached agreements for next season.

man free agency is gonna be wild this year. No wonder there are already rumors of players agreeing to deals. NBA is gonna have to just ignore tampering more than they usually do.

So who is Olshey signing first? My guess is still Millsap. He just screams Olshey to me, and I like the fit, assuming Ibaka is too expensive. I also like that there’s only one playoff team with projected cap space.

This probably won't go over well , but i really like what Neil has done for the most part. With a super talent like Dame, and many quality players, this team is HEALTH, and a quality role player away. I don't see them as far from being a contender as others do. They weren't anything close to the team they could be against the Lakers due to health, and Ariza's situation. But to me, Dame, and his ability to get better every year brings me plenty of hope going forward. He's 30, not 37. Neil will do everything in his power to add key pieces. Go Blazers!

I dont trust Neil to sign a guy like Millsap, he probably will sign another Stauskas first and call it a offseason. Neil has been a big failure in free agency
