    Then don't carry a billion dollars of cap space into summer. He should know by now guys don't want to come here. Acquire some damn assets and trade for them.

    There better be some team options or incentives built into that shit. I can't stomach a GM that pays 70 mil for 4 yrs for Evan fucking Turner.

    This is our big FA move. Jesus I was so excited for FA and then as usual portland gets kicked in the nuts by any of the top FA's.

    Neil could have used the cap space wisely, and put together a good roster even without top tier free agents, he squandered it on fools gold in Turner...what's next

    He's the Henderson replacement. At double the price.

    There are no positives... He is garbage, and Neil blew all the cap room on him...

    I don't dislike Turner at all, I think he can be a good player but he can't really shoot which is something our offense really revolves around is the 3p line.

    If the Blazers can make another signing this is not bad but were going down the Pistons build model from Billups/ Hamilton years get solid players who play Defense and such and hope it all comes together.

    Can we pull a Deandre Jordan and pull the contract off the table before he actually signs? I understand no one would ever want to sign with us again, but that is no different than now.

    4yrs 94M for parsons. 4 yrs 70m for turner.

    wow.

    what a time to be alive!

    (and a mid-level NBA player).

    cannot wait to see what people throw at meyers, but it'll feel good to not be paying it.....

    I'd rather have Austin Rivers!

    This just screams of making a move to make a move....

    It's gonna be Turner/Rivers.... so we're not addressing our need at center at all.

    I'm betting we do pay it unless we somehow still get Howard, who is most likely going to atl.

    I really am fine with the move. Just not at that price!

    Last summer we did value signings when we struck out. This summer we overspend on someone we shouldn't have.
