Something to ponder

[Fez Hammersticks]

The timing of this trade is very interesting - is Noah a chip to trade up?

That's what I've been wondering.

 

[magnifier661]

Or used to trade for Hibbert on draft day

 

[Scalma]

No comments by neil on either incoming player...

Hibbert has a player option, so how does that work?

Deadline is tonight. If he doesn't opt out, he will opt in

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Hibbert doesn't have that kind of value anymore.

A mere 24 hrs away from the draft, I think this move is about moving up for .....Kristaps.

Mentioned this in the bigger thread. Waiting to see what we do in the draft. Our roster is a bit unbalanced.

Both vonleh and henderson can be moved

Together or singularly?

No restriction?

Trading him for the right vet would be a solid move, but a disaster if it's for the wrong vet.

Maybe you'll get your 7'2" white shooting guard after all.

But I would start worrying about who else would be needed to bundle with him.

7'2.75"

Wouldn't surprise me. Vonleh is going to intrigue a lot of people. I would be happy to see him remain a Blazer, but I also thought Olshey might have to make a creative deal, flipping players he acquires or doing multi-team deals.

 

[santeesioux]

Rasta, why do you hate Pringles so much? He's a Euro, that's right in your wheelhouse!

 

[BigGameDamian]

To trade for Deandre Jordan on draft day?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Don't forget, height is not the end all be all. Vonleh has a 7' 41/2" wing span and an 8' 10" reach. He could play interior center

9'0" reach

But do we have time to wait for him to develop with an aging LMA? (if he re-signs)

I think Vonleh is meant to be a longterm replacement for Aldridge. That's if we actually keep him.

You usually don't have to wait for rebounding and hustle. Lopez gave us 11/8 least...clearly his best with us, in 30ish minutes. I think Vonleh could easily get you close to that in less minutes

So finally a move you like! Awesome. Your % chance that LMA stays?

Impossible to say, really. If they made this move to throw money at another star, then really high, but maybe his agent informed the team LA didn't believe they could win in Portland and they will add Monroe and someone else lose in the first round the next few years til Lillard gives up too, and the fans will be happy they made the playoffs each year. Hopefully by then Portland has an NHL team

 

[Rastapopoulos]

7'2.75"

But how big are his hands???????

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So: Monroe and DeAndre Jordan - starters on your 2015-2016 Blazers? Oh joy.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

But how big are his hands???????

Not big enough to cup your moobs.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Not big enough to cup your balls.

You're probably right.

*pause*

I think Vonleh will be our starting center one day if we keep him. Freak athlete. Leonard will be the 4, LA... Who knows....

In this scenario we are the worst team in the league, right?
