    No, the Blazers didn't have the combination of ending contracts (unless you're willing to part with Chief and Curry for Mirotic) and second round picks that were needed to get the job done. Sure, he could have thrown an offer of Harkless plus a first at the Pelicans (and probably did), but they want cap relief for this summer, not next.

    Which is a pretty steep fall off considering we got swept in the first round with this exact team and they probably should've won a title...

    Good for them, I suppose.

    I’m starting to get a sinking feeling that our “needle mover” (if there is one) might just be Frank Kaminsky. FML......

    Hey Neil, you are wasting Dame’s prime. Don’t blame him if he ask for a trade in the future.

    Well guys I think Olshey is done and if players don't during free agent I don't expect picking up anybody on players getting dump. You might see Olshey picking up players on 10 day contract till the end of the season or leave the spot open.

    About 70 minutes to go. There have been a bunch of trades earlier than normal... but if feels like things are fizzling out. Suppose most teams are done for the year?

    Perhaps he's thinking, "Unlike the Bucks, Nikola Mirotic wouldn't make us a title contender this season, so it's probably unwise to spend picks on a player who won't be here long term."

    Possibly...

    What a move by Milwaukee. They somehow turned Maker, Smith and a bunch of second round picks into Mirotic who will help them massively in the playoffs.

    We couldn’t really match that offer with a bunch of untouchables though.

    Maker --> Collins
    Smith --> Simons

    Would we have done Collins + Simons + seconds for Mirotic?

    They only gave second rounders. They did send Maker, a lottery pick, to a third team to make it happen.

    Neil may be stuck going after 'buy-out' players.....who will have the option of where they want to go. Wonder how that will work out....

    Nik will be picked up by the Lakers -- this is my prediction for him

    How is Smith an equivalent for Simons? That would be a much higher price to pay.

    Collins and Maker aren’t equal either.

    oops, was thinking about sterling brown. We don't have a Jason Smith analog. My bad

    Collins and Maker have like the exact same stats over their first two years and both were #10 draft picks.
