Notice 2023 Blazers Free Agency

nope.

 

I'm just skeptical that he had value. Look at his stats. If Ant has no value, I don't know why FVV would have value.

 

FVV gets 3 years for 20 mill less than Grants 5 years.....it's simple

 

Have now...

$100m more than Grant!

 

read my post and what i responded to. do you not understand what "guaranteed money" means?

 

badji and butler are the second coming of ibaka and chet. how dare you?

 

Clearly FVV had value to Houston. I'd be shocked if Toronto couldn't have got a pick or two for him. Unless Cronin extracted max value for Hart.

 

I agree that if Grant left, Dame would be out the door too.

However, just because Grant is returning does not mean that Dame will also be back.

Those two statements are not mutually exclusive.

 

Well that's all fine but banking on young cheap contract 7 ftrs that have been in the system is part of the game...Watford was on a two way and broke out ...these guys can make the leap...Badji I've read is ready to show what he's got and I'd take him over a Boogie Cousins about now. I think you'll see a bigger team and better bench come preseason. If Mike Schmitz thinks Badji and Butler deserved qualifying offers and Eubanks and Watford needed to walk...I'm going to trust Schmitz. As to the date...it's June 30th...we have time to construct a roster...it isn't all happening in one day.

 

it's Schmitz. who is Mike Schmidt?

 

these rookie extensions that are coming in are wild.

makes Ant's contract look like a bargain.

 

If we re-sign Matisse, give roster spots to Badji and Butler and sign all three rookies which seems like a given since they were all on our big board as lottery picks, then we will have 12 roster spots filled. I really hope there are trades but I don't know what to expect from Cronin and worry he would actually just sign two more guys one might even be under 6'5" and call it good.

I think that would cause Dame to demand a trade but I can't be sure of that either. Weird time to be a fan of the Blazers.

 

I stand corrected, I mispell his name often..not an uncommon mistake bro...I went back and fixed them for you but really I think you knew who I meant

 

You might want to reread what you said in the first post I responded to.

I agree the Grant signing doesn't mean Dame will be back. I disagree that it has no impact. The only way your first statement can be true is if you think Dame is gone regardless of what happened with Grant.

 

I have to stop myself EVERY time I write it out.

 

Grant at 32M/year makes me gag a little. Haliburton is a better player, but I don't think he'd 20M/year better. My hunch is that if we could see some of the contracts given out in 2025, the first year of the new media deals, and see them now, eyes would pop out of heads

for instance, if the cap is 180M, a max designated 5 year deal would be 365M; that's 73M/year. Could you live on 73M/year?

 

Mike Schmidt is our district attorney.

 

any backtracking on your stance of ant being overpaid?

have a look at the desmond bane deal that just came through.

 

OK.

sorry @riverman im being an ass to you. just frustrated from the inactivity yet again.
