POR Gets: Danilo Gallinari
OKC Gets: Miles Plumlee, 2020 POR 1st
MEM Gets: Ian Mahinmi, Future POR 2nds
WAS Gets: Kent Bazemore

Blake is worth his. Gallo is not.

Gallo May be overpaid for his production next year. I’d say he’s not worth 22M for his on court play.

But as an expiring, it hardly matters if he’s slightly overpaid.

Whoa, you'd give up Bazemore, a 1st, and multiple 2nds for Gallo?

 

[SIeepwalker]

Yeah, no fucking way

 

[Hoopguru]

Whoa, you'd give up Bazemore, a 1st, and multiple 2nds for Gallo?

I wouldn't.

 

[Reep]

Not me either. Watched too many Clipper games down here.

 

[HailBlazers]

Y'all crazy if you think we're trading Baze.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The semi exact quote to me was "hey, keep an eye on this OLC stuff. Rumors going around that Portland is trying to get in on this"

Deal Coming Soon....

 

[1eyedjack]

Westbrook a Rocket yet

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Anyone else find the wording of this hilarious? Makes it sound like the big piece in the trade was Dubljevic. and that Layman was an afterthought

The Portland Trail Blazers announced on Monday afternoon that Portland has acquired the rights to big man Bojan Dubljevic in a sign-and-trade agreement. In the deal, Blazers restricted free agent Jake Layman heads to Minnesota. NBC Sports Northwest

Hopefully they’re just watching it for entertainment...?

Man, Amar’e was such a beast in PHX, doesn’t feel that long ago he and Nash were must watch TV.

Oh that's exciting!

Oh that's terrifying!

Yes.

Most of the time I give Portland the better part of the deal. The 2nds could be from WAS or OKC then. Would you not do Bazemore and a 1st for Gallo?

Just how often do you eat pizza?

God I love that only old school S2 people will get this!!!

I would not

3 reasons, I think Bazemore is better than most give him credit for here, gallo is made of glass, and it would be pretty bad PR

I already said in this thread I wouldn't trade Bazemore straight up for Gallo.

Well you need to realize that not everyone is going to read every single thing you post.

And you're trippin if you wouldnt do that.

I want to use those picks in a trade for a better player than Gallo. The Blazers need to think big picture. Go for the best player in the entire league not playing point guard that we could get. We have expiring contracts, two good centers, a shooting guard that could be an all star in the right setting, and more.
Maybe there’s a remarkable player like Karl Anthony Townes on an underperforming team where a trade would make both sides better. I hope this is Neil Olshey’s mindset.

Understandable. Frontcourt depth has me worried though.

I like him but Gallo hasn't played in more than 68 games since 2012....and I don't see him playing in more games the older he gets either

Read all my posts damn it!!!!! LOL

I just think Bazemore is a better fit on both sides of the ball. Against the Clippers we're gonna need all the wing help we can get. Gallo had a great shooting year last year and would definitely help our offense but he's an awful rebounder for a PF and has lost most of his mobility on defense because of injuries.

I'm hoping something better later in the season presents itself than Gallo right now. Plus I like that Olshey is making upgrade moves that aren't costing us assets. Of course I recognize that I value draft picks more than most do.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

They have all the pieces to go after someone like Brad Beal AND Kevin Love.

A lineup of :

Westbrook
Beal
Roberson
Love
Adams

is damn good. Depends on if they want to truly blow it all up.

Beal is good. But that roster is significantly worse than what OKC had a week ago so I don't see the point.

I wouldn't, because of his poor D I don't think Gallo can be a core starter with DameCJ. Now maybe his offense makes him better overall than Bazemore, but one year of that upgrade is not worth a first round pick.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Deal Coming Soon....

Not sure anymore?

Deal coming soon was different. The good ol days when a couple of us had inside info.

 

[illmatic99]

Is there anyway we can get in on a Towns deal next summer?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

PG trade still not official
