    Even if it made it slightly more valuable i would not hesitate to use it in a trade that improves the team. Potential and upside is just way to subjective, especially when it is a hs player.

    Tucker will only make 3M less than Mo. It's not enough margin to use the full-MLE.

    Could we ship Skal to make enough room?

    ok, now, I'm making an assumption about Nurkic's bonus...that it applies against the cap and apron. I'm also assuming Little's salary will be in the 2.3M range

    with the Bazemore addition, that puts Portland at 130M with 11 players. That does not count the 5 free agents. The tax line is 132M and the apron is around 138M. With 11 players, Portland is assessed a roster charge putting them around 131M. The full-MLE is 9.2M and creates a hard cap at the apron. Portland only has a 7M margin and that doesn't include any of the cap-holds for the free agents

    Mo for Tucker drops the Blazers down to 128M. That only leaves a 10M margin and they are still 4 players shy of a full roster

    The only way the Blazers could free up the full-MLE and have enough margin for hard-cap comfort is to trade Mo or Meyers for no returning salary. That would get the Blazers about 17M in margin (an extra roster charge). Then, theoretically, they could use the 9.2M MLE, maybe the 3.7M BAE, sign a vet minimum deal, and either sign another vet of pay Layman his QO. That would keep them just under the apron with 14 players

    and the CBA is so tricky I might be wrong about some of those assumptions

    At this point I can't even figure out what Portland can do with such small funds.

    Idk how I stumbled on this tweet. It’s probably bullshit but we got nothing else to really talk about.

    Moe, Meyers, and Trent or Skal works financially.

    I believe since he’s under contract he can talk to other teams as long as he has permission from the Cavs. I may be off though. It’s probably all bs anyway.

    It would be a trade, not FA, so as long as his team supports the idea then it should be okay.

    If there was no agent present, then I don't believe the "papers on the table" part, which might bring the whole post into question.

    Plot twist, Olshey has secretly known Love since he was born, and the papers are adoption papers. Olshey is officially adopting Love.

    It’s one time I actually hope there’s no truth to some random rumor. If it didn’t cost us Collins, Simons, or little I may consider it, but I hate his contract and how it’d hurt future flexibility.

    Why would there be papers on the table? Love isn't a free agent so he doesn't have to be wooed or sign a contract. Sounds like BS to me.

    I'm not a fan of Love either, but if we were giving up spare parts I would be down. The chances that we'd be signing a guy with Love's ceiling is quite minimal in the free agent market. I think he'd try to get back to his old self playing with a contender.

    what papers would be on the table in a trade scenario, exactly? It's not like they're talking contract

    Are we sure it was "papers" - plural. If it was just one sheet of paper, it could be the Blazer playbook. :drumroll:
