    Barnes is a pest that can be had for cheap. A nice guy to have as much as lot of people don't like him.

    Just a terminology issue, but "Poison Pill" denotes someone who's on the last year of their rookie deal, but has signed their extension giving them at least a 20% salary increase. This particular provision makes it extremely hard to trade someone. (Like if HOU somehow wanted to trade Harden last year).

    "Toxic" contract is the term the author is looking for--one where you put in the max signing bonus, trade kicker, up-front payments, etc in order to get the other team not to match.

    Blatche could come fairly cheap.

    My God, no! He would infect our locker room and be a horrible influence on our youth!

    After getting Robinson, I think the biggest holes left are a starting caliber center (not easy to find\acquire), a vet b\u PG (at\close to the vet minimum) and a veteran SF to b\u Batum and push\replace Claver....

    A guy like Barnes (mentioned above) would not be a bad move at all, decent defender as well....a shooter like Korver...I like Budinger, and I am not sure MIN can afford both him and Pekovic, Landry perhaps? I think he could play alongside Robinson, Gerald Henderson is intriguing, Aminu has underwhelmed but is really young (22)....Brewer, Dunleavy or Webster could be other less interesting options IMO....

    There is zero chance Olshey uses any more cap space on a back-up PF. Landry is not coming to Portland.

    The Blazers, who now have roughly $9 million in salary cap space and another $2.6 million via a "room exception," are still expected to be players on the free agent market

    Asik is the guy I want. Guy is tough as nails. Has that Przybilla quality to him, but can actually finish on the offensive end.

    Get. It. Done.

    I am confused on why HOU is going to move Jeremy Lin. He wasn't great this last year but if they move Asik they will have more then enough salary cap room for Howard (they actually have enough right now - barely).

    So why move your PG when you just have to go find another?
