Awesome - thanks. For some reason, I had it in my head that was before the new CBA, and the new CBA did away with that. Glad it's the opposite. If we want to waive Williams, it's essentially $1 mil per year over 3 years.
Chris Haynes: F Victor Claver reportedly on his way to Portland next season | http://www.csnnw.com/pages/… | #Blazers #PDX 2 minutes ago http://www.csnnw.com/pages/landingb...-on-his-way-to-P=1&blockID=730858&feedID=5212
Jason Fleming: First talk of Freeland, now Claver...add in up to four draft picks...re-sign Batum, add a vet PG...Blazers will be very different next year 1 minute ago Yes, without some serious improvement via trade or free agency, we will be different (and worse, but younger). Makes the next month super-critical.
take out Failton and Crawchuck and Nate and (hopefully) add a competent point guard ... and worse? I don't know, I guess so, but maybe not.
The last two seasons have seen big shake ups compared to say the Roy, Blake, Trout, Aldridge, Pryzbilla team
It'll start with how draft day shakes out. Then free agency. We draft a young PG (like Lillard), I expect it's going to take some time. We draft Waiters, we'll still need to add a real PG. If we were able to get one, a 3-guard rotation with Wes, Waiters, and said FA PG could work. It'll still take some time, but it's somewhat intriguing. But still hoping for a guy like T-Rob to fall, a solid big that can contribute immediately and help slide LA to C (at least for stretches of a game). Then add a PG via free agency, or the #11.
Meh, smells like trade fodder to me. Perhaps include his rights in a draft day trade to move up a spot, or two to insure getting "our guy". BNM

Has little to do with size. They just don't have the ability to see or drive. You can't hold someone's God-given abilities, or lack thereof, against them. Don't hate.
