At least it shows me Olshey was trying to get multiple wings. Harkless played better in the second half but that should still be the focus. Just gotta find someone in that 10-12m range that fits.
I think this was posted just minutes before Stotts was extended. Just doing a welfare check on you, my man.
I doubt it would be cheap, especially considering they’re in division and they gave up Butler for him. Best I’d give for him would be Moe, Trent, and 25.
I thought Olshey said that the biggest name he was after didn't get traded, I could be wrong though. Porter is a weird fit for Chicago. I could see him being traded again this summer.
Would you guys trade ET, Harkless, and Leonard for Porter if we had to take back Felicio too? He still has two years and $15.7 million left on his deal. It adds salary two years from now but saves us $6 million this year. We could maybe swap our pick 25 for their 38 too to sweeten it a little more if needed. I like Porter but I'm not sure if I'd do that.
I doubt it. He would be a 2nd straight time 1st team Defense if not for his injury. To most teams he would be even more valuable than CJ and he has an incredible contract.
Oh maybe he did. I dont think theyll move him, but if he's on the market, we have to go after him. I guess if Chicago drafts Reddish (or Culver or Hunter) at 7, then they may look to move him. I expect them to take Coby White.
Instead of Porter, I would go for Luka Samanic at pick 25. Porter was out with a shoulder injury at the end of the season.
Thats not a lasting injury and Samanic wont contribute for at least a couple years and is likely to never be as good as Porter is now.
Casey and Joe are convinced that Seth is gone and that Simons will comfortably replace him as a mainstay in the rotation next season. Other nuggets: -Blazers will try like hell to make a trade for a player and the pick will be dangled all over. -Employees have been told there are no immediate plans to sell the team and Jody is fully invested. "she is NOT interested in selling the team."
Julius Randle has been mentioned here before and that’s pretty intriguing in a sign and trade scenario. His playmaking ability out of the four would be huge and his outside shot has improved. Pelicans are rebuilding too so they’d probably be open to taking on an expiring in return for assets instead of cap space. Wonder how much Randle will get.
I think Hood, Kanter, and Curry will all leave. I’m 50/50 on Aminu. He has value as a backup, but I also wouldn’t get in any sort of bidding war for him.
