    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.

    This is classic indication that LA is gone

    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?

    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.

    Cap space for NEXT summer is maybe the play.

    Here comes Wheels on radio now beginning to trash Nic already. Why the fuck didn't you call him out during the season, dumbass?

    If we sign Jordan and Kevin Love, I may be done as a Blazer fan until Olshey gets fired.

    Henderson is a $6M expiring contract.

    So the play would be to sign someone major next year?

    I dont get the outrage. I'm a Nic fan but I think most of knew his time here was coming to an end. Got a good depth player and a nice project while saving money.

    Does this say anything about Wes?

    I think Wes is going to get overpaid by someone. I think that's what it says. There's no way Neil is giving him a big payout right now.

    Without a pick I don't like this trade. And it isn't like I am against dealing Batum. This seems panicking though imo.
