Doesn't want to go into the luxury tax
 
I'm guess this is coming from Jody.
 
Magic just signed frank mason to a two way. Must be nice.

Because of Nurk's bonus coming off the cap, we can get someone who makes anything under 1.8M. We could take the protection off of the first that's with Houston this year and use future firsts if we thought that someone would make a big enough difference who is in that price range.

Guys that might fit that bill: Shake Milton, Kendrick Nunn, and maybe Shaquille Harrison are guys that can play point on offense but defend both guard positions.

If we wanted to go big Alex Len's numbers are really good for the limited PT he's getting, not that it's realistic but Mitchell Robinson fits and I know he was just drafted but Jalen McDaniels can do a lot of things on offense but his D is suspect and we need defense.

I would only want Mitchell out of the bigs and he would be next to impossible to get but Miami has such a huge amount of guards and wings I think we could get Milton for a couple of picks and I don't know what Nunn would cost but he'd be a good fit for us.

There are also the possibilities of a one for two or two for three trade that would give us more depth and could even cut salaries.

You not getting Milton from Morey for a couple of 2nd round picks. They have no reason to do that since they are first in the East and they want to win now. Nunn should be much easier actually when everyone is healthy he is out of their rotation.
 
Doesn't want to lose his draft pick in what's supposed to be a great draft class?

You're right but it would be really cool if we could get Shake. If we can get Nunn we should.
 
The team won't sign anyone as it triggers the luxury tax. Team needs to trade away Collins or such to sign even a vet minimum. Maybe they have enough space after trade deadline as contract will be for less games and cheaper.
 
This would be the worst season the Blazers could ever try to add salary to contend in the west.....Neil would be an idiot to go into repeater tax territory with the short season, our injuries and the super teams in the west primed to contend now....that's throwing money in a hole.....we need to build trade value heading to the deadline or bench contribution heading into the playoffs.....I don't usually predict any losses but I don't see us contending this season at all....because of injuries mainly...it's a training camp season for our new guys to become a bona fide core of contenders moving ahead...Rodney Hood and Gary Trent and Ant are going to handle the ball when CJ and Dame can't....

So you are agreeing with me that Olshey is tanking so as not to lose the valuable draft pick this year?

no...I'm saying that our 3rd string isn't worth going into the repeater tax for this season...cards fall where they will but it'd be dumb to pay a Chris Paul at the trade deadline..you still try to win every game....
