    June 30!! Today, N.O. must decide either to take the Ezeli contract savings by keeping it, and only paying the $1M next year and waiving him.......OR......trading his contract ($7.4M) for a player.

    Then the madness begins......Saturday!

    Where does Blake Griffin sign? (BOS, MIA or LAC probably)
    Where does Hayward sign? (BOS, MIA, or UTAH probably)
    Does Paul George get moved??

    Are our Blazers able to move any player or combo of players and improve noticeably??? Big Q!!!

    Non-guaranteed but they can hold on to him and make it stick for the year if they want. Otherwise, Collins and Swanigan just fill the spots of the recently departed Quartermann and the soon-to-be-gone Ezeli and the roster is set at 15.

    Wonder if they have any interest in a sweet-shooting 7-footer...

    You have to figure there are a gazillion conversations going on between teams right now, and every form of 3rd team facilitator is being discussed.

    Doesn't necessarily mean anything. Just smart management. Something could pop up last-minute. Why close the window on a potential opportunity before you absolutely have to?
