Don't get me wrong, I'd love to keep Meyers ALSO but we've got to give them something they want to get something; what about Meyers + Mike Miller for Morris PLUS Devin Booker? Would u guys like this? Or do you guys think they'd take instead Kaman + Mike Miller for Morris straight-up? ps yeah, that'd b shitty if "he starts whining about forcing us to sign his tweener brother." So... potentially nvm w/ the Morris thing
Didn't this dude stomp the shit out of his mentor or some shit? I'd give them Miller and Kaman and that's about it, definitely wouldn't give up any young guys with potential. Taking on this guy isn't worth losing some young guys AND being just good enough to lose a top 4 pick.
This guy has red flags on top of red flags...I don't want him anywhere near Portland. He's also pending an assault case with his brother. If ever there was a jailblazer to be found...he's the guy.
You only take on this headcase if he comes the same way Harkless came -- absorb contract + second rounder. Pelton offering Vonleh is beyond stupid.
That is exactly what I was thinking. A non-rebounding power forward with an attitude has no value to me. Hopefully he does to some other team.
I wouldn't even trade Kaman straight across - Kaman is far more valuable to us than Morris even if Kaman never steps on the court.
I'll not totally disagree w/ this, I actually do like Kaman a lot & he's done a TON for Meyers; I do enjoy thinking about how he can help Voleh & Mason & such too Kaman's definitely got a future in the league as a big man coach (hopefully w/ us!).
Exactly. Now that we have not just one, but FOUR young bigs Kaman will be four times as valuable to us as he was last season. I think it's imperative that we keep him at least until the trade deadline just so he has a few months to work with Vonleh. I think Kaman's game translates best to Meyers and Vonleh, but he can still probably help out in some aspect with Plumlee and Davis if they're willing to be mentored.
Yeah I agree Kaman has value to us. I don't understand why a number of Blazer fans expect him to be traded. If we got some great young player or a first round pick obviously we make the trade but Kaman doesn't have anywhere close to that kind of value around the league. He's slightly overpaid on a $5 million contract which doesn't matter to us; but other teams won't want to absorb that salary. If we did find a trade we'd maybe get a heavily protected second round pick; a pick around #45-60. Those are the type of picks you can normally just buy at the draft. Kaman may retire when the season is over so just keep him around.
