Trade Varejo to Portland!

[TBpup]

That's better.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

are there any picks comin our way?

We won't know until a reliable source gets the details right.

 

[Blazinaway]

Cavs send conditional 1st to POR & 2nd Rd pick from POR to ORL Per twitter

ok, that's makes sense now

 

[illmatic99]

Also, WTF have our local reporters been doing? Not a peep from them. Useless hacks in POR media

 

[Sedatedfork]

Maybe in a draft day trade. Listen I don't think it's a great trade, but if they weren't getting anything for CKEC, might as well trade for AVEC?

 

[Rhal]

That's better.

that made me go from "we better have gotten at least a 2nd" to "STEAL!"

 

[craigehlo]

MUCH better

 

[Blazinaway]

Dont be surprised if we are getting the Laker pick from the Howard trade.

what pick is that?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

If we buy him out, does he count against the cap next year?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

So we give up a 2nd but get a 1st?

FINALLY they've been frozen out of the system! The quiet is blissful.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

If we buy him out, does he count against the cap next year?

In portions over the next three years, likely... ~3.25m per year.

Jason Quick is trying to peek into Neil Olshey's office right now.

First rounder from CLE can't be until 2018 draft

Olshey probably has N+1 offices scattered around Oregon, where N is the number of Oregonian reporters.

 

[BrianFromWA]

your 2016-17 big man rotation: Plumlee, Vonleh, Davis, Andy

 

[illmatic99]

If we buy him out, does he count against the cap next year?

Yes. We can use the stretch provision and drag his deal out a few years to increase space.

Not like we're going to do anything with that space, but regardless.

First rounder from CLE can't be until 2018 draft

But can we obtain one they may have from someone else?

 

[Rhal]

First rounder from CLE can't be until 2018 draft

Hopefully it will go unprotected at some point and in 2021 we get the #1 pick after Lebron falls off a cliff, Kyrie is out for some reason and Love has left the team.

They own Miami and OKCs pick this year I believe.

A nice young player to get their start right as Dame/CJ hit their peaks; he'll be at his peak as Dame/CJ age out of the window if all works out.

Thought both are going to Philly. http://www.tankathon.com/

Their pick is going to PHX this year

I think they came to the realization that there is no reason to even try to break any news. They can't compete with the national guys, so they might as well wait and report it afterwards.

 

[jlprk]

Are their 1st and our 2nd in the 2016 draft, when there will be little difference? (I expect to finish closer to .400 this year than our current .500.) I hope it's into the future, when we return to way ovcr .500.

Quick is on a tropical vacation and back sometime today.

Yeah....welp that sucks.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

This is a conditional pick. It could be top 16 protected for all we know..... I still lukewarm on this deal if we gave up a 2nd rounder (although it could be 56 and later) and only get pick 27 out of it.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Quick is on a tropical vacation and back sometime today.

Is that a mental or physical vacation?

What a boring trade. Doesn't do anything.
