...... what? No draft picks? How much cap space does this clear?
 
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

I officially hate Olshey.

I'm going to assume they're including their pick, because if not, that is one of the shittiest trades ever.

And it's still pretty shitty.
 
I have to think this is not a good sign that LA comes back. This seems like a "blow it up" trade.
 
Nice!

Vonleh really came on strong towards the end of the season.
 
Didn't Olshey really like Vonleh last year? I'm sure Fez or someone would know/remember...
 
(Assuming this is true)
Batum had two problems for Olshey:
1. He played some defense
2. He was not acquired by Olshey (and had an agent who wasn't one of NO's buddies)
 
Vonleh was the #9 pick in last years draft. 37" verticval and 7'4" wingspan.
 
Wow I'm in shock. Batum had a rough year but wow.
 
6'9.5" | 7'4" wingspan | 9'0" reach | 19 y/o

Big potential as a two-way PF.

GIANT hands.
 
I like Vonleh's potential as a defensive big. Also a big Gerald Henderson fan.
 
I dont think thats great value for Batum. If we get their pick as well I like it otherwise it sounds like we cleared space to go after Jordan
 
Ouch.

Not #4 by a long shot.

Can't be replacements for Wes and LMA, can it. That would imply a significant rebuild.

Or maybe stockpile massive cap space for 1st year of the new TV deal.
 
If they don't mention picks now, it fucking better be because we're giving them the 23 for their pick and we can't do that before the draft.

Because if it's just for those two players, there may be some Blazer merchandise getting burned soon.

Did it clear much space? If Wes and Rolo were renounced would we have enough space for two max deals?
 
Man this sounds like we expect LA to be gone :(

You realize that there was a very very very good chance that Batum walked next summer, right? I'd rather add a couple of young guys rather than let him walk for nothing.
 
Here comes Wheels on radio now beginning to trash Nic already. Why the fuck didn't you call him out during the season, dumbass?
