Dan Marang was tweeting today just how much he would love to have LaMarcus Aldridge back right now. Have to say i agree. He would help them quite a bit.

The salary numbers are set for this year, it is based on revenue from the season prior so it won't make matters worse this season.

It's hard to know how much a loss of revenue from China would effect the cap. I've heard anywhere from 0% to 15%. I'm guessing it will be closer to 0% than it is 15% as time goes on but that's simply a guess.

After this season the Blazers should be in a better spot financially in terms of not being so crazy over the cap. That's why trading an expiring contract like Whiteside for a Kevin Love or Blake Griffin gets tricky though. It pretty much guarantees they'll be in the tax next season so the China thing could cost them a lot of money if the tax line is a lot lower than projected a couple years ago. I think they're fine overall though.

Thanks.
That covered my questions nicely.
Pretty much China ain't gonna effect them this year.
Yes i agree when all is said and done i presume the loss will be minimal then if this year is set. By next year a tweet and the issue might be water under the bridge.

I don't think the Spurs will trade him if they continue to play well though.

The projected cap for next year is $116 million, up from $109 million this year. If it truly dropped 15% then it would fall all the way down to about $99 milion for the 2020-21 season but I just don't see it being that extreme (admittedly I could be wrong). Worst case scenario I think they'll just keep it the same as this year and not bump it up.

There is a way for Portland to get nearly $20 million in cap space this coming summer if the cap is $116 million so that would be erased by a lower cap but that would involve letting a lot of pieces walk for nothing and leave a pretty thinned out roster all to try and sign someone for not the max anyway.
 
Until they can figure out how to do something about the defense end we end up in the lottery. We scoring enough points to win games but given over 120 points the last couple games your not going to win many games.
 
neither one is coming back this season. read between the lines.

Sounds like tank is on to me. I’m okay with that but you have to trade Whiteside then.

look what Drummond got Detroit. Garbage. What if they need Hassan because something happens to Nurkic (again)?
 
I think Nurk will be back and I think Collins will back. But if they hold Zach back even thou he healthy will be mistake by Olshey. You got a young kid dieing to play and if he knows he healthy to play your going losing that player in the near future. Zach says he is head schedule so there no reason he shouldn't be back in March. But he gets look at first week of March let see what the doctors say.
 
From Reddit:

"Postgame I heard Baze ask ZC "How long you out?" And I think he said "couple weeks" So there's that. But I'm still dead inside."

"I caught this as well and he did say couple of weeks!"

What he does he impact the defense and offense he doesn't get enough opportunity to score. Give the shot attempt that they give Melo he be average as much as does with better defense.

He's a hell of a lot more mobile than Melo, or Whiteside for that matter. He could have defended Baynes a lot better than anyone we put on him in that Phoenix debacle. He also plays with the attitude and energy that you say this team is lacking. Dude, you're just negative to be negative. You don't put a lot of thought into your comments or if you do then I feel bad for you. This take on Zach is garbage and your recent takes on Dame are complete garbage. I try not to comment on your nonsense but it's just gotten to be way too much.

He makes a big difference for the reasons I stated. As we saw last season, anything can happen when you get into the playoffs. Zach just gives us a far more competitive roster. With the two LA teams this year, I don't think we would beat either one of them if we were completely healthy or not but Zach would make a huge difference. So to answer your question, no he would just make us a competitive playoff team (not WCF) instead of what we are right now which is most likely the 12th to 14th pick in the weakest draft in recent memory.
