    That many teams, it's not going to be the "right price". It's going to be overpaying.

    Love this idea. Legit SF with a higher PER than Batum.

    If we landed Wright; I would love to see what teams would give us for Batum. I would really try my best to get Horford from Atlanta.

    Backup 2/3, I don't think signing him means shop Batum.

    If you're a player and your choices include the Spurs and Thunder, do you really consider PDX if we're merely matching the others? We have to surpass them.

    NOt that it means anything. I'm just saying we could use Batum in a trade. No hidden message by the Brass.

    Well if you are looking at OKC; then you take into consideration that Durant will suck the life out of your playing time.

    Lots of factors. Playing time, role, interest from the team, did they talk specific numbers or just interest. And if you are going to over pay I would rather the hit come here and not on a huge contract

    Had this pegged mid-season.

    Dorell Wright, Matt Barnes, and one other person were my SF targets

    Identifying the needs in the roster (appeasing LA still TBD)....

    Addressed the b\u PF with Robinson (Priority #2)
    Attempting to address the b\u SF w\ Dorrell Wright (Priority #3)

    Still TBD

    Addressing the starting center position (Robin Lopez?)
    Addressing the b\u PG with a vet (Bobby Brown, DJ Augustin?)

    With other teams competing for Dorell Wright, OKC's likely going to have offer something that breaks into the tax, or waive a player.

    At least not initially.

    EDIT: I should add that with Allen wanting to win now and Aldridge wanting an improved roster around him I don't think Olshey is really in a position to start a rebuild ... unless the wheels fall off by mid-season.
