    If we can get another first round pick, maybe take on a little salary this year helping a luxury tax team that makes sense.

    FULL REBUILD ON AHEAD!

    Was just trying to think of who has the 2nd-5th longest Blazer tenure.... crazy.

    Would be all for bringing back Meyers.

    not that I've seen. I'm still confused on the wording of who actually gets the Lakers pick between N.O. and Memphis, which could come in to play.

    Maybe why the trade took so long to finalize... Could have a dozen conditions on if then when not it conveys.

    I'm sure you have looked at it too:

    upload_2022-2-8_21-25-30.png

    let's see...the Laker's pick is traded to the Pels, but it's protected 11-30. That's easy to understand. So it doesn't go to the Pels if it's 11 or later...it goes to Memphis...but it's protected 1-10....is it protected from Memphis? or New Orleans? Doesn't that seem like the pick is protected 1-30? Which team was initially traded the pick with the top-10 protection? Had to be New Orleans, right

    this makes it even more confusing:

    upload_2022-2-8_21-36-0.png

    so, initially the pick was unprotected. Then where did the 11-30 protection come from?

    I'm sure if we flip him it'll be for a couple future seconds.

    Was it from the Adams/Valanciunas trade?

    Blazers should try to trade for every second round pick. Can't miss!

    Yes my understanding was unprotected from LAL to NOP.

    Then Pelicans traded it to Memphis unless it's top 10 in which case Pelicans keep it.

    Oh, no! I sure hope he is smart enough to buy a walking cane for the occasion.

    He's already 27!

    Being from Bosnia, add 5.235 years to his American age.

    I was kidding, although with this GM, I don't really know.

    No but 3 1sts + 3 swaps + CJ seems like a Morey fleecing and sounds completely in line with other offers we heard floated for various teams player plus picks. Certainly, IF that trade was available it was far better than this.

    My only thought on this is trading picks and maybe a young prospect for an all Star and absorb the contract with TPE. I don't know I don't really understand how that sort of thing works other than on trade machines.
