    Would you trade #15 + Leonard for #22 + #27?

    I'd be tempted.

    I mean, yes. We get rid of Leonard. Those people at 22 and 27 will be worlds better than him.

    15? No.
    20? Yes.

    We stand a real chance at getting a nice player at 15. As much as this fanbase hates Meyers, there's no reason to pay to get rid of him just yet...

    Honestly, I think 22/27 together are worth more than 15 by itself. Divesting ourselves of Leonard would just be a bonus.

    I would because you could easily get back up there with 2 of those 4 picks.

    Depends on which players are still on the board. Don't want to miss out on a good player that might drop.

    Quick says the blazers want to keep 15 but trade 20 and 26 to shed salary or get future picks. Says mondays workout was underwhelming.

    Don't believe the salary dump part.

    My guess is Olshey is shopping around for a deal that isn't a pure salary dump, but is something he can spin as a move that improves the team. Think Leonard+20 for Kyle o Quinn or something of the sort.

    Fans will be underwhelmed because it is really a salary dump in disguise.

    It makes me giggle when people try to do outlandish trade scenarios for players to come to Portland.

    I'm watching this paint dry, and I feel like I'm using my time wisely.

    It's Quick. He peeked through the blinds and read their lips to get their draft strategy.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    When you showed up for
    #15, #20, #26, Crabbe and Turner for Butler and Porzingis
    but came away with
    TJ Leaf at #15 and #20 and #26 traded to dump Crabbe and Leonard

    Yeah, me may have to do a trade like that, or perhaps 15 and Leonard for O'quinn and 22?

    If Olshey uses this deep draft just to dump contracts HE SIGNED, he might as well include his resignation papers in the deal.

    How is it ok with ANYONE that we may sacrifice assets because Olshey overpaid everyone?

    Won't be a pure salary dump (capspace), but sly salary dumps will let him flex his salesman muscles.

    I mean, that is what he is good at. He tried convincing us last year that these contracts he signed were actually good value.
