Which assets? Certainly not the ones that we got for Drexler.
Click to expand...

Cliff Robinson, Randolph Childress, Reggie Jordan and Aaron mckie.

Childress, mckie and Jordan for augman.

Drexler was traded for Otis Thorpe and a draft pick.

We traded Strickland and Harvey grant for sheed.

We signed Kenny Anderson as a free agent.

Later we traded Kenny Anderson for Damon and signed free agent Brian grant.

So most these assets were from free agent signings.
 
Cliff was a second round pick

Drexler was traded for Otis Thorpe and Randolph Childress

Childress was traded basically for Gary Trent

Strickland and Grant were traded for Sheed, but neither of them were draft picks of ours?


We got to the WCF because of trades really. Trades at a time when the CBA favored guys who would spend a zillion dollars to win like Paul Allen.

As for the team we had, during that run Portland had like 9 lottery picks on it's team

Wasn't that I was saying all along? You can build without lotto picks.

Well we have 16 million in cap space this summer. I assume we can pick up some there

It's a weak FA class. Yeah, the "assets" will be better than what we currently have (outside of 4 players), but they still won't be trade chips that'll dramatically improve the team.

That's a pretty big assumption. I have hopes for this summer, but the last few times we've had money it wasn't quite so simple.

Weak FA class? Look again

http://sportstwo.com/threads/230116-2013-Unrestricted-Free-Agents.?highlight=2013+free+agents

Millsap, JJ Redick, Jack, Harris, Calderon, Mo Williams, Billups, Gibson, Robinson, Udrih, Tinsley, Martin, Foye, Korver, Barbosa Webster, Brewer Jackson, Howard, Maggette, Barnes, Childress, Stackhouse, Joshn Smith, David West, Brand, Jamison, Odom, Hickson, Wright, Dwight Howard, Bynum, Al Jefferson, Kaman, Dalembert, Pachulia, Oneal, Turiaf, Alrich.

Sometimes I think you just toss out opinions without even thinking it through.

We didn't have a GM that was worth a shit. Oshley needed a year of evaluation before he makes any drastic changes. I wouldn't even be surprised if he trades Matthews or Aldridge this summer. This free agent class is a damn good one. Better than what we could find in the draft.

We have always settled for plan C or lower in FA

Brian Grant was a plan C? How about Rod Strickland? Shremp? Maybe Kenny Anderson?

EDIT: WITH THE CURRENT FREE AGENT CLASS.

even plan C's will drastically improve our team's strength.

We need to build enough to make the playoffs next year, maybe even make it past the first round. Then our assets can be used to trade for higher quality players.

I think the team with the worst history of lottery picks has GOT to be the Clippers. Until recently they have been horrible.

Hickson Knows Trade From Blazers Unlikely


When told it wouldn't make sense for him to accept a deal out of the Portland Trail Blazers and that a trade scenario is not likely, J.J. Hickson smiled and nodded in approval.

“There you go then — you just said it,” Hickson said, laughing. “You just answered all your questions.”

Hickson has had a productive season for the Blazers, increasing trade speculation that has left the forward unfazed.

“I’m not going to get all hysterical about it being the trade deadline,” Hickson said. “I’ve been traded before. I’ve been waived before. This is nothing new to me.”
 
Thunder, Suns Discuss Perkins, Lamb, Pick For Gortat, Tucker Trade

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns discussed a trade over the All-Star break centered on Marcin Gortat for Kendrick Perkins.

The Thunder would receive Gortat and P.J. Tucker from the Suns for Perkins, Jeremy Lamb and a first round pick.

Perkins is signed through the 14-15 season while Gortat becomes a free agent in 2014.

That is a damn good deal for them. SUCKS!!!!
 
Redick To Seek $10M Annual Deal In Free Agency

J.J. Redick will be looking for a four-year, $40 millon contract on the free agent market, according to sources.

Redick is unlikely to get a deal that hits $10 million annually, but teams with interest in dealing for him contend a $7 million per season amount is likely.

The Pacers, Bucks, Bulls and Wolves have been interested in Redick.

The Magic are willing to re-sign Redick at a deal at approximately $5 million per season.

If that's his going price, then let him try and find a team stupid enough to give him that kind of money.
 
Something being over looked here about the cap space. Ther4e are lots and lots of rumblings about teams not wanting to get into repeater tax and will be looking to move long term contracts now or in the summer. The cap space we have could come in very good use in the summer.

I was thinking the same thing. On that free agent list, there are players that are on teams on the cusp of going into luxury. They just can't afford re-signing those players. Then you have sceanrios like you mentioned, where teams are willing to give high contract talent for expiring.

Blazers are interested in Blair?

NBA trade rumors: DeJuan Blair could draw interest from Celtics, Heat, Trail Blazers

San Antonio Spurs forward DeJuan Blair is drawing interest from several teams after the Detroit Pistons turned down a deal to acquire the 23-year-old.

According to ESPN NBA insider Chris Broussard, the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers have all expressed interest in acquiring Blair, who will be a free agent following the 2012-13 season and will earn just more than $1 million this season.

Each of those teams could use some added frontcourt depth, and Blair is a career 8.0-point, 6.0-rebound player who can provide solid minutes in a reserve role. The Spurs currently own the NBA's best record at 41-12 and have plenty of depth to bolster their draft prospects for the future.
