    My bigger question is how damaging is it to waive and stretch Moe and ET?

    We’d be better off keeping them. They both become assets after the season as expirings. Could be used to acquire a big contract like Blake, Gordon, or Hayward (just examples)

    The $2.4 million figure for the veterans min?

    The MLE?

    Edit: read your posts in the MM thread. I didn't realize the MLE decreased. Thanks

    No reason to. They become assets next season. Wait, and trade them. The Blazers still have 3 stretched contracts they are paying off, and are nearly rid of. Add 3 more?

    JUST TWO! Can almost guarantee you NO doesnt move both, and I was sort of kidding, but seriously how else do we convince stotts to get them off the court...

    If Paul Allen read secondary sites like HoopsHype, he may have read tertiary ones like BlazersLand.

    Pau Gasol wants out of SA...he'll probably be bought out...not happy with his minutes ..now that's a vet to teach our young bigs about footwork...elite hoops IQ guy...fits the culture..I think Pau would be great here starting at PF next to Nurk...let him start at PF and give him some burn. Chief can come off the bench..Dame ..CJ...Jake...Pau...Nurk...nice starting core..bring in Curry, Chief , (Hood/ET and Collins/Leonard)....those use for offense/defense tag team until someone clearly earns the spot

    For some reason I thought Pau had retired.

    Can you imagin Teodosic throwing lobs to Jake of finding Hood with no-look passes for '3'?

    Gasol would be a great fit. He can still play, has seen and won it all, and would be a great mentor to the younger guys, specifically Zach.

    Dame
    CJ
    Layman
    Aminu
    Nurkic

    Turner
    Hood
    Collins
    Gasol

    Harkless, Leonard, and Curry can fight for scraps
