Holy shit, it sounds like the Raptors are willing to give Wes 15 mil a year, that's crazy with that injury.

Good for him. He definitely earned it

 

[riverman]

Wes wants more than anything to be an allstar and in the east, he'll probably be one..in the west..good luck

 

[santeesioux]

Good for him. He definitely earned it

I'm happy for him too if he gets that much, but I'll also be very happy the Blazers aren't paying him that much.

Yeah that would be such a huge gamble if you ask me.

WHY DIDNT WES TELL US HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE SO WE COULD HAVE TRADED HIM LAST YEAR!???111??!!!

 

[Wheels]

But seriously. Great for him. Hope he gets an insane ovation their one trip back here

 

[Natebishop3]

WHY DIDNT WES TELL US HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE SO WE COULD HAVE TRADED HIM LAST YEAR!???111??!!!

Honestly, I think we would have considered keeping him before the injury, and I think he would have stayed. Sinking 15 million per year into a guy recovering from a major injury is just too risky for this franchise.

AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO BLOW HIS ACHILLES OUT

 

[Tunchi]

GREAT PICKUP! Mo Williams is very good player plus that team could use scoring punch. Its not a coincidence as soon as Mo left we didn't have success without him

That seems pretty steep for me even when healthy. But you are worth what someone is willing to pay you

He's not a very good player.

It was a coincidence that we didn't have success without him.

snap..ouch....that's why

It's steep, for sure, but starting 3D players are not cheap. With that said, Green just signed for, what, 11 million a year? 12?

 

[santeesioux]

The Cavs are paying Thompson over 80 mil, do you think that might mean Love might not be back?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Butler's getting a max extension.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The Raptors are recruiting Wes to play him at the 3 and Carroll at the 4.

Yup - ESPN is saying the interest is growing between Wes and the Raptors

Hmm, DeRozan/Wes/Carroll as an interchangeable 3-wing group could make the Raptors very interesting.

 

[Blazinaway]

The Cavs are paying Thompson over 80 mil, do you think that might mean Love might not be back?

wow, unreal contracts being given out

 

[Duckhook]

I wish I was hearing more about the Blazers talking to Love. I'd take him over a Monroe in heartbeat.

 

[santeesioux]

Never mind, Love just said he's going back to the Cavs.

 

[Wheels]

snap..ouch....that's why

I'm going with the thought that, that's too steep for him even when healthy.

 

[magnifier661]

 

[Eastoff]

Anyone else heart skip a beat with each NBA game time announcement?

 

[Duckhook]

Well s#$%!!!

 

[Wheels]

It's steep, for sure, but starting 3D players are not cheap. With that said, Green just signed for, what, 11 million a year? 12?

I guess, it could just be me not being used to new cap amount. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Wes, but IMO he could be very limited at times but it would be overlooked based on his heart, and passion.

 

[santeesioux]

Now we have to put all of our eggs in the Monroe basket since it sounds like DeAndre isn't interested.

Agreed. I like what he brought to the table, but his best interests and the team's may no longer mesh. It's just business, and I won't be mad at either Wes or Olshey if(when) he leaves.

 

[HailBlazers]

I wish I was hearing more about the Blazers talking to Love. I'd take him over a Monroe in heartbeat.

There's no (good) reason he would leave the Eastern Conference and Lebron

 

[santeesioux]

Wouldn't it be funny if Lebron left anyway after they signed those guys?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

It's steep, for sure, but starting 3D players are not cheap. With that said, Green just signed for, what, 11 million a year? 12?

10.1 MIL per year I believe but he likely gave SAS a bit of a discount.
