[ official ] 2016 summer moves

FIFY

Lillard (36) / CJ (12)
CJ (24) / Crabbe (24)
Harkless (34) / Montero (12)
Okafor (30)/ Davis (18)
Whiteside (30) / Leonard (18)

Crabbe could get minutes at the 3 if Montero isn't playing well.

EDIT: That's a fuckin' SQUAD...

 

We gotta keep Harkless. Saw enough of him this year to feel like his future is full of bright days. I like his potential in the right system, and I think that system exists with Stotts.

 

I love Montero. If he's good enough to crack the rotation next year that'd be dope.

Playing Harkless, Okafor, and Whiteside together would be a problem though. Not enough spacing and Okafor would struggle checking 4s

 

One thing Philly don't need power foward and I really don't think Horford will be coming to us anything Philly being giving back more than us maybe a draft pick and we throw Cleveland first round draft choice in there to make it more complete. I wouldn't have Aminu in this trade.

 

This plan is if Olshey does not sign a major FA such as Horford or Whiteside.

Crabbe, Henderson & Leonard all sign big contracts with other teams.
Roberts & Harkless re-sign with Blazers
Vasquez signed to vet minimum
Trade Davis & Cavs future 1st for Monroe
Sign FA Ryan Anderson
Probably buy a second round pick, but that player will be the end of the bench project.


Dame, Roberts/Vasquez compete for BUPG minutes
CJ, Connaughton, Montero
Aminu, Harkless
Anderson, Harkless, Vonley, Alexander
Monroe, Plumlee


Defense? We don’t need any stinking defense. We are going to be a fun team to watch, and win by outscoring every other team.

 

Embiid, Vonleh, Noel and Saric would be their big man rotation.

Philly wouldn't give up a 1st round pick and a future all star Center for a one year rental and Vonleh..

Youd pretty much have to throw in Aminu if you wanted Okafor.

 

You forgot Ingram or Simmons in that rotation.

 

Ingram isn't a big he's a SF, Lu's Simmons is a combo Forward. So those 4 Bigs isn't too many especially when Embiid is always hurt

 

Damn dude

Dame
CJ
Aminu
Horford
Whiteside

Best S5 in the league!

 

Is Tim Frazier going to be a Blazer again at some point?

 

Not likely. Performed well for NO and they offer a better opportunity for him to play.

 

Beastly squad. Get 'er done Mr Olshey!

 

There are rumors Nando De Colo maybe ready to return to the NBA. He is now 28 years old and in his prime, with two full seasons playing in the Euroleague.

De Colo finished the 2015-16 season as the Euroleague MVP, the MVP of Euroleague’s Final Four, and a member of the All-Euroleague First Team.

 

He'd be a great replacement for Gerald

 

Oh great it's Sergio all over again. I get the draw of the NBA, but these guys in Europe are living the life, making good money, close to home, in beautiful cities..I don't blame them for not wanting to leave, or getting homesick. I'm European myself and I miss it all the time and no ones even offering me money to be there :/

 

PS I don't want Okafor. Something about him I don't trust. That's my reasoning.

Should try for Noel instead.

 

If you combined Noel with Okafor you'd basically have the perfect NBA center, Okafor's offense is already among the best in the league, Noel's defense is one of the best in the league as well.

 

Or, Nando De Colo could be a poor man’ Manu Ginobili, who he is often compared to. Maybe that is why the Spurs drafted him?

Several teams are rumored to be interested in signing De Colo (Bucks, Nuggets, maybe a Raptors return).

The Blazers have not been mentioned as a possible suitor. I’m just adding a new name to the prospect list to consider. But agree, he would be a good Henderson replacement @ SG, but he can also handle the BU PG duties.

He is projected to be either a NBA starter on a lottery team, or a quality 6th man on a playoff team. His 3 pt shooting has improved greatly. .471/2014 & .460/2015, with a .900+ FT% both seasons. EFG% .551 & .598.

 

The Raptors actually have restricted free agency rights on Nando De Colo if he decides to return.

 

Thanks for the update, did not know that.
