    Is that where he keeps his failure to sign a top tier FA?

    Now we need to trade a 1st round pick for Hedo Turkoglu.

    If there are really 3 teams interested in MM, I say forget the buyout and trade him to the team of his choice......for another 2nd rounder. 3 picks for absolutely nothing would be a good use of our cap space.

    This trade really shows how hard a job Neil has. A trade like this is akin to to putting your blown out amplifier on Craigslist and hoping someone comes along and claims it. There's an old saying that publicity is creating "something from nothing." Olshey's trying to do the same thing with the Blazers roster while we are incentially the St Louis Browns. What a job. I wouldn't mind the salary but not the responsibility.

    I can understand that 3 teams are interested in MM, but what can we get for Kingspeed and Mags? :)

    I'd trade MM for a bag of peanuts but Mags followed me back on Twitter so I hope we keep him. Maybe we could trade Rasta for a top 5 pick?

    With the Cavs payroll projected to be over $100 million this year and a massive luxury tax bill I don't think they use the big exception this season. If they add a player making $10 million it'll cost something crazy like $70 million.

    It won't expire until July 28th, 2016 though. So next offseason they can give Mozgov a raise, give LeBron the new $30+ million max, use the MLE and then also use this trade exception while the luxury tax level will be far higher. See how Dallas got Zaza Pachulia, Washington got Jared Dudley, Charlotte got Jeremy Lamb, Boston got Perry Jones III, and we got Moe Harkless.

    Heck we might even see them do the reverse of this trade next summer; acquire a player win a nonguaranteed contract for a second round pick. Then trade that pick and newly acquired non guaranteed contract again to an under the cap team for the same $10 million trade exception that will last until 2017. Pretty soon every over the cap team in the league will have Luke Ridnour and Brendan Haywood for a few days of the offseason to get $30 million of trade exceptions.

    Biggest downside for the Blazers is if we are targeting the same trade partner next summer.

    Paul Allen paid Cleveland $1M-3M, too. This benefits Cleveland so much that I expected Olshey to get a very late 1st round pick. Disappointing. Source:

    Cleveland concocted the 2nd round pick scenario, and even publicly announced the 3 teams who had enough cap room to partner with them. See this thread.

    http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/cavs-want-to-trade-brendon-haywood-to-us.287879/

    Allen's money made the difference over the other 2 teams. Olshey just went along for the ride and failed to get a #1.

    For 2019, Cleveland owned the Wolves' 2nd rounder, which is now ours. For 2020, we received Cleveland's own 2nd round pick.

    To watch a pick move from team to team, just read left to right. (I've pushed this site since I came to S2. It was the same a decade ago on the ESPN Blazer board. I couldn't get them to understand it, either.)

    Well...

    Keep in mind who helped who here. Maybe they should be.
