Drummond!

 

Dreamon!

 

Brook Lopez is another candidate.

Had a thread on this earlier, but more directed toward getting another lotto pick in exchange of taking on salary, rather than going after an actual building piece.

I really haven't watched Brolo much. Is he more inside or outside?

I wonder if you could pair him with Davis.

Dame
CJ
Crabbe
Davis
Brolo

 

Nearly 85% of his attempts are < 16', with a fairly even distribution in the paint and outside the paint. And his percentages are all solid. Raw numbers are all solid (21/9/2, with 2.1 blks) and has a 21 PER.

And contrary to popular belief, he's a actually become a decent rim protector. Shitty rebounder, but could be similar to his brother in a way, where he does the boxing out while his PF gets the boards. Thad Young is averaging career high rebounding numbers this year next to Brook.

Biggest fear with him is his foot. But if we wanted a quick rebuild this summer, adding the BK PF/C combo here will giving up some young scrubs and absorbing salary could be an option.

 

So you don't like the Davis/Brolo pairing?

 

Don't like the idea of Davis starting or playing major minutes period. He's a terrific role player for up to 20 mpg, but he's not a strong enough defender to compensate for his lack of impact on offense to warrant huge minutes.

And besides, Thad and Brolo would work pretty well I think, next to Crabbe (or Aminu) /CJ/Dame. Good floor geometry and skillsets there.

 

So those two make a combined 31ish million. You were thinking about waiting until after the season and absorbing most of that?

 

Only reason being I don't want them killing our lotto chances this season.

 

That's what I figured. It would be nice though if we could dump hendo and Kaman for one of them right now. The thing is, they don't want to tank because they don't have a pick, so clearing space makes no sense to me.

I think a good place to start is looking at tax teams. Cleveland, Miami, okc, GS, clippers, Houston, Chicago. Something small in return for saving us both some $$could be possibility.

 

I bet OKC would trade us Kanter

 

If KD re-signs with them, they'll want out of the Kanter deal.

 

Any interest in Markieff Morris? Listening to Zach Lowe and Windhorst, both of em feel like he's a valuable piece to invest in if you have a nice foundation.

What if we ask for their pick from CLE as incentive?

I love the skills he has as a mini-Draymond.

 

Huh? He's a MUCH better defender than Brolo...

 

Draymond is the CP3 of PF's.

Morris is much more Portland version Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

 

As I noted in the Blazer Salary Cap thread -

If a team was looking to cut salary, they could have traded for one of these guys and simply waved them to save their remaining salary. Frazier was an obvious candidate since his services are easily replaceable. I wonder if the market for a 'Salary Dump' trade isn't very strong out there with the CAP going up significantly over the next few years. Teams may be okay with taking a one year hit. Instead, teams may be more focused on adding established players for a playoff push . That probably rules out a Kaman trade (along with most of the guys on our roster). Henderson only has marginal value in that department.

 

Brolo is one of the best shot blockers in the league for what it's worth.
