It'll make it more valuable because there are plenty of teams willing to take the risk and gamble, and there will be more blue chip guys available in that draft.

Even if it made it slightly more valuable i would not hesitate to use it in a trade that improves the team. Potential and upside is just way to subjective, especially when it is a hs player.

It also opens us up to give the full MLE, I believe. PJ Tucker is one of the best 3&D players in the nba, he can guard 1-4.

Tucker will only make 3M less than Mo. It's not enough margin to use the full-MLE.

Could we ship Skal to make enough room?

ok, now, I'm making an assumption about Nurkic's bonus...that it applies against the cap and apron. I'm also assuming Little's salary will be in the 2.3M range

with the Bazemore addition, that puts Portland at 130M with 11 players. That does not count the 5 free agents. The tax line is 132M and the apron is around 138M. With 11 players, Portland is assessed a roster charge putting them around 131M. The full-MLE is 9.2M and creates a hard cap at the apron. Portland only has a 7M margin and that doesn't include any of the cap-holds for the free agents

Mo for Tucker drops the Blazers down to 128M. That only leaves a 10M margin and they are still 4 players shy of a full roster

The only way the Blazers could free up the full-MLE and have enough margin for hard-cap comfort is to trade Mo or Meyers for no returning salary. That would get the Blazers about 17M in margin (an extra roster charge). Then, theoretically, they could use the 9.2M MLE, maybe the 3.7M BAE, sign a vet minimum deal, and either sign another vet of pay Layman his QO. That would keep them just under the apron with 14 players

and the CBA is so tricky I might be wrong about some of those assumptions
 
At this point I can't even figure out what Portland can do with such small funds.
 


Idk how I stumbled on this tweet. It’s probably bullshit but we got nothing else to really talk about.

Moe, Meyers, and Trent or Skal works financially.

If there was no agent present, then I don't believe the "papers on the table" part, which might bring the whole post into question.

Why would there be papers on the table? Love isn't a free agent so he doesn't have to be wooed or sign a contract. Sounds like BS to me.

I'm not a fan of Love either, but if we were giving up spare parts I would be down. The chances that we'd be signing a guy with Love's ceiling is quite minimal in the free agent market. I think he'd try to get back to his old self playing with a contender.
 
what papers would be on the table in a trade scenario, exactly? It's not like they're talking contract

Why would they need to do that? His contract ots set in stone. Olshey could get a copy and read it in hours office. Love already knows his contract. That tweet is BS for the gullible.

Can we add incentives?

They wouldn't be. If there were papers, there should have been an agent. Additionally, in my practice, the papers stay in the office. You talk at the restaurant, but you go back to the office to look at papers and sign things--which you wouldn't need to do with Love anyway.

Unless Olshey is paying him something under the table as a bribe, whereby we will trade for Love, not make the playoffs for the remainder of his contract, and then have all our draft picks for the next ten years taken away by the NBA for CBA violations.

Not that I've got a lot of dogs in this fight (plus it has pretty much petered out) but teams are looking at the addition of high school kids back into the draft as essentially a "double draft" where effectively 2 freshman classes will be available at once. So to your point, it's not that any pick becomes "slightly" more valuable, it's basically doubling in value.
