Rumor Woj says the Blazers are one of the teams most interested in a wing upgrade at the deadline

[Boob-No-More]

Yes fans like Harkless. We need a wing and would want a pick as well. The younger the player the better. We could use a back up pg as well. Rumor has it Grant is included in a trade to Detroit with Mirotic for Johnon, Jon Leuer and a lottery protected first. So maybe they want to move Grant at deadline? Cameron Payne will not be the ideal back up pg. Bulls would not want long term players, however, if Blazers insist on that picks would have to come back to Chicago.

Shabazz Napier is a great backup PG (starter quality for many teams) and POR may be willing to move him in spite of how great he's playing. He will be a restricted free agent next summer and due to the luxury tax situation POR may not be able to match any offers he gets.

If you take Harkless and Napier that's almost an exact salary match for Mirotic. If you also take Noah Vonleh, that gets the Blazers under the tax threshold. Vonleh and Napier are both in the final years of their contracts, but you would get their Bird rights. So, you would have the choice to either match any offers they get next summer, or let them walk. It would be your choice. You'd have half a season to see how well they fit your roster/system before making any decision.

Sounds good to me.

I know Utah wants to move Burks, his salary is too high for us going forward in the rebuild. Napier would make since, especially if Bulls are looking to move Grant.

Tell me what you think of this, posted on twitter 2 days ago. I get feeling many of you would not like a pick included.

Noah and Moe is a good offer.

I wouldn't trade a 1st unless it was a 2019 1st with Turner attached.

We don't need a stretch big. We have a 1000 of them. We need an athletic wing who can defend and shoot

 

[BrunoSOC]

the perfect trade is evan turner and 1st round for mirotic. Move back harkless for the starting lineup or put aminu on the 3 spot.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Shabazz is the 3rd ball handler we are looking for. We need him.

If Napier were the 1st ballhandler and Lillard was gone, all the other players would blossom as they did last night. But Stotts wants to hang every game on 48 minutes of Lillard.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or ridiculous.

Like who? Who's available on the trade market that checks those 3 boxes?

Middleton? Don't know--is he athletic?

 

[illmatic99]

Middleton? Don't know--is he athletic?

He's not on the trade market-- at least, he shouldn't be.

 

[dviss1]

Maybe read the first line of Woj's post?

"There are far more teams chasing wing players -- shooting guard/small forwards -- than quality talent available at those positions. Drafts have been lean on those spots in recent years, and they're in great demand now."

Ouch! That was a quick lil' MM smackdown!

 

[Natebishop3]

I was really hoping OKC would be worse off at this point so we could poach PG13.

 

[tlongII]

Like who? Who's available on the trade market that checks those 3 boxes?

Like nobody. But that doesn't mean we should make that trade. Getting Mirotic for Harkless and Vonleh would be regression in my opinion.

 

[dviss1]

Just sucks that we still have to wait a week for it to even be possible.

Like nobody. But that doesn't mean we should make that trade. Getting Mirotic for Harkless and Vonleh would be regression in my opinion.

We have several free agents this summer and we can't afford to keep them all.

Vonleh
Nurk
Bazz
Davis

These are players that we could trade for something useful. That is unless you're looking for a repeat of a couple summers ago when we overpaid Harkless, Leonard, and Crabbe.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Like who? Who's available on the trade market that checks those 3 boxes?

I don't know if he is on the trade market but a guy named Aminu might fill the bill.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I don't know if he is on the trade market but a guy named Aminu might fill the bill.

If only he could play small forward, he'd be perfect.

I would ideally like to keep Shabazz and trade CJ... but knowing Neil will never break up McLillard, I think a trade of Shabazz, Ed, and Harkless for Mirotic makes sense for both sides. We get a stretch 4 who leads the league in 3pt % and shave off like 8 mil salary.... Bulls get a potential starting PG and SF

 

[Mediocre Man]

No idea? Just saying it's what we need rather than, yet another, stretch 4

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ouch! That was a quick lil' MM smackdown!

Not really. It had literally nothing to do with my response.

Can Dame play the two?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Can Dame play the two?

For 8-12 mpg, I'm sure he could.

If you trade CJ though, and keep Bazz..... what then?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

If you trade CJ though, and keep Bazz..... what then?

Depends on what you get in return, but with the current roster, I'd think you would start Pat at the 2, and then move Dame to 2 when you bring Bazz in. Optimally, of course, any CJ trade would return a starting-caliber swingman, but I have no idea who that might be.

How about.... Fournier/Gordon/Ross for CJ/Leonard/Vonleh?

And then Harkless/Davis/pick for Mirotic?

Dame/Bazz
Turner/Ross
Fournier/Aminu
Gordon/Mirotic
Nurk/Collins

 

[BBert]

We don't need a stretch big. We have a 1000 of them. We need an athletic wing who can defend and shoot

This.

Besides, ZCO "SkinnyZ" Collins is our SBOTF
