Trade Varejo to Portland!

[Scalma]

What a boring trade. Doesn't do anything.

Except give Portland a future first rounder that will probably be a pretty good one once the cavs fall apart.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

I've been hoping if we did anything, it would be interesting. Still hoping someone/something can turn this lead into gold. (or at least silver).

What a boring trade. Doesn't do anything.

It gets us a first round pick, and actually saves Paul money this year. If we give up or pick to Denver this year, in the offseason we could have 2 future picks to try to throw into a deal for someone who becomes available.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Is that a mental or physical vacation?

Has to be physical because there's no mind to take on vacation.

wow. So cool. In what, 6 years when this window is about closed? lol.

It kind of does. Minimum payroll met? check. Get a future 1st? Check. Lose some salary cap? oh...

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

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

I believe Cleveland already owned that blazers second round pick and it is just a coincidence that it is being moved in this deal.

Not much though.

 

[Scalma]

Probably in two years when it's wide open.

And btw wouldn't you want an extra first when your window closes?

 

[Strenuus]

Probably in two years when it's wide open.

We're portland. It's 6 years.

 

[Scalma]

Do we have to cut someone even if we plan to waive varejao?

Ya it was from the trade we did with them to get Crabbe

 

[Sedatedfork]

Not much though.

It sort of moved my needle, but I am easily aroused.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

So Orlando dumps Frye for nothing? I am guessing there is more compensation coming to us from the Magic.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Remember, since we have 15 players on the roster, we'll actually have to make space for Varejao before we can waive him. So, are we cutting someone else first, or are we trading away one of our guys to create roster space?

 

[RR7]

Do we have to cut someone even if we plan to waive varejao?

Yes. Need the open spot to complete the deal.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Unless we do another deal before the deadline and send out at least 1 more player than receiving.

That's what I was afraid of. Don't want them to cut anyone (well besides Frazier) so hopefully there's another deal.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Hmmm, well, there is still about 1 1/2 hours left. I hope this isn't the only trade we make... Kinda got the shaft here.

 

[illmatic99]

WHAT! We're waiving Tim Frazier?!

Bobby Marks ‏@BobbyMarks42 56s57 seconds ago
Portland can stretch Varejao's $9.8m owed in 2016-17 and 17-18 over 5 years starting in July.

And frazier is being waived

 

[Sedatedfork]

An end of the bench player isn't going to be heartbroken to be cut and then resigned.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

 

[KeepOnRollin]

WHAT! We're waiving Tim Frazier?!

Must see too much promise in Montero to cut bait on him.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

A two-fer? Kaman/Hendo for Whiteside rental? (not that I like this, but you never know)

EDIT: Never mind, they just cut Dame's friend Tim.

 

[illmatic99]

Why can't we just waive Andy and stretch his contract while keeping Dame's boy

 

[santeesioux]

He never plays anyway, but we're just going to roll with only one real pg on the roster?

So sounds like not being immediately waived?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Can we re-sign Frazier after he clears waivers?

 

[Scalma]

I'm sure the cut is only temporary.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I odn't think bobby's right...it can be the 2016-17 9.8M over 3 years, or the 19M over 5.

And I think you have to make that decision now.
