He talks a lot about the two trade exceptions and we definitely gonna use them. Paul Allen is rich af and doesn't care about the tax. Maybe some big moves are coming. Here the Link to the Interview http://www.nba.com/blazers/video/te...26636/1528247927706-espn-neil-05jun18-2126636
I hope I'm shocked, but I won't be holding my breath. It's also scary because if he swings and misses, he may panic like he did when he signed Turner.
Thats a contender payroll, Paul Allen would have to pay around 80-90 Million tax bill. But hey it's not our money and like i said he's rich as fuck
I want to believe NO / PA will do something to inspire confidence that next year will be different, we’ll see... Hope they figure out how to use the trade exceptions to bring in another good player.
The only way someone sends a player to us for TPE is if they consider that player not useful for their purposes. How is that going to help us? I'm literally going to vomit if we use TPE to acquire someone like Courtney Lee or Marvin Williams.
This is the move to make: DEN Gets: #21, Sefelosha UTA Gets: #24, Aminu PHI Gets: #14 POR Gets: #10, Faried, Bayless
Yeah, the last thing we need is a 40% 3pt shooter who's also a good defender as well as a veteran presence. That'd be horrible.
I'm not against this, but who do you go after at #10? I'm not that much of a Faried fan, would this make Zach the starter at power forward?
Here is another guy that Olshey could think about hiring as a big man coach: Green was drafted by the team a few months afterwards and the 2017 NBA Defensive Player of the Year told Utah Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell in an interview for ABC in the US the Aussie taught him everything he knew about guarding the post. “I’ll never forget it,” Green said. “My first day out at Golden State he was teaching me different things you could do that you couldn’t do in college and throughout the course of that year just teaching me positioning. “I wouldn’t be half the defender I am without Andrew Bogut. He taught me so much about defence that I owe all my success to him, defensively.”
Who will also be 33 when the season starts and will put us even deeper in the salary cap hell while maybe adding 2-3 regular season wins at very best.
Why would Denver just randomly give up #14 for #21 without any reward? Sefolosha isn't worth much currently.
I get where you are going....but that would massively put the Blazers into the Lux Tax basically just for #10. Seems like a LOT to pay.
They safe some cap. And it's Denver, they traded a 1st round Pick and Nurkic for Plumlee . And they traded the 13th Pick (Mitchell) for Liles and the 24th, you Never know what they do next
