Will Ariza's decision influence Portland's?

[Charcoal Filtered]

I don't think that's right.

Incorrect. Ariza is under contract for the '20-'21 season & its partially guaranteed.

If Portland cuts him, he cannot be re-signed until after his contract expires (June '21).

Somehow my phone lets me get to cbafaq.com thru his Twitter link but not directly. My thinking was that we could use the non-bird exception. That is not allowed since he would have to clear waivers.

In regards to being limited on when we could resign him, it may be even longer. Says for however long the salary is stretched for. Not sure if that is cap or actual though. Might also be locked into stretching three years since it is more than 250k.

That's what I figured, just didn't know for sure.

Boo. Sorry.
Collins will be more valuable And hood is no pf.

Collins isn’t showing me much. Hood / Melo both can play 3/4.

The player we need to re-sign is Whiteside! I think he and Nurkic are a perfect pairing. With Aldridge, Melo, DeRozen and Dame...and youth like Trent, Little, Adams, Simons et al....

Fuck Ariza for his cheap shot on Rudy. Hated him ever since.

Always thought he swiped at the ball

Never thought it was dirty, rather careless or dangerous

Correct. However, I don't think his contract will have much (if any) value at the deadline.

I think a lot of teams will be angling for '21 cap space, which could make a large expiring somewhat useful. Of course, we've seen many a plan come through portland based on TPEs and large expirings, and nothing much ever comes of them, so...

I'd love to see Trevor back. He fit in flawlessly. And provides two things the Blazers need, defense and 3 pt. shooting.
