    We get a second rounder and we help the Cavs screw the Spurs in the finals?

    why not?

    So we would waive Haywood, get a draft pick, and still have cap space? Or does Haywood take up our space? I don't fully understand the cap...

    Can we merge this with what has already been being discussed regarding Haywood?

    Here's a breakdown of the Blazers current CAP situation. -
    http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/blazers-salary-cap-info.286219/

    The Blazers have approximately $24,161,929 of CAP space available.

    Brendan Haywood's salary next year is $10,522,500. If the Blazers picked up his contract, it would leave the Blazers with $13,639,429 of CAP space.

    As far as what the Blazers could receive from Cleveland, it's pretty slim pickings. Here's a look at their future picks:

    You know your the worst destination in NBA for free agents when CLEVELAND has use for your cap space.

    I think the idea is for Cleveland to get a TPE so they can trade it for a much more useful player.

    They could just cut him to save his contract plus taxes.

    The Blazers have no reason to tie up any cap space by keeping him.

    It looks like his contract might not be guaranteed and the acquiring team can waive him....still trying to see if that is absolutely correct. Cavs could waive him but it doesn't help them cap wise. Creating a TPE helps them much more. I believe Portland could take him on, waive him and still have their $24+M of cap space for something else.

    Switch the future pick to the rights to Cedi Osman.

    That's exactly what I put in the other thread. He would be a good 'stash' piece like what Olshey was talking about with Diaz.

    This could be the entire "sitting on his thumbs" move Olshey is waiting for. They release Haywood for the future seconds and then make that last big move.

    Here's what I would try:
    Blazers Get: CLE 2018 1st Round Pick, Rakeem Christmas, Brendan Haywood
    Cavaliers Get: POR 2018 2nd Round Pick, rights to Dani Diez

    Cleveland gets no salary in return which is a plus for them, we upgrade our pick in 2018, and get another young asset in Christmas.

    I would wait until December to trade for Rakeem, just to make the headline writers happy.

    It's a nickname for him on another board like LaMarsha here, meaning he's soft. Also, thanks to the mod for fixing the title.
