Listening to that again, a few things stand out that I think we overlooked when the press conference happened:
1. When asked about what was going to happen the rest of the summer, Neil immediately jumped to starting trade talks. Not one word was said about the TPE. That, in his mind, was only in play as a part of the draft.
2. It’s pretty clear that the decision to let Ed go was about getting more playing time for Zach and Biggie to grow as players. I think the big man spots are set.
3. The only spot he didn’t talk about with respect to current players was SF. It’s no surprise here, but if there’s a trade to come, that’s the spot to look for a change to be made.

Trail Blazers president Neil Olshey on Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum: ‘We’re keeping the core together’
Long term, we have him for the next fours, which gives us a really good runway. We’re keeping the core together, knowing Dame and C.J. have at least three years left on their contracts. And we give that group the best chance to win without impeding our ability long-term in terms of being into a number that’s completely non-liquid.
