    Faried is on the last year of his deal.

    So just ride him out. Thing is sounds like Neil's main aim is veterens not more rookies.

    No one's arguing that point. Just saying that not liking Faried as a player is not really an argument against this deal, as his ability to contribute to the Blazers' success is not at all a consideration.

    I've always thought Wilson Chandler would do well here.

    Aren't most of these players either free agents or making more than our big TPE?

    Faried coming to Portland would be a huge MEH for me....the dude hasn't played well for several years...I'd roll with Swanigan over him anytime...we need 3 and D guys and lights out shooters.

    It’s like talking to a brick wall.

    Exactly this! It would be such a huge win to add Courtney Lee and the 14th pick for Meyers Leonard.

    I also think the Vonleh TPE will come into play as well. Would allow Neil to target someone still on their rookie contract that a team may want to dump for savings. So think of something like when we got Harkless from Orlando, except things are much more urgent nowadays with the financial landscape of the league. Another reason why it would serve Portland to go “all in” the next two seasons.

    TLC would be cool. He barely plays. Philly would be better served dumping him. I’d throw in a second if they wanted it.

    Sounds like he's been so bad Philly would give him away.

    I don't think it's necessarily about Faried, it's about the pick that would come with him.

    Slim pickin's. Kidd-Gilchrist would be about the only one here that tempts me, but we already have Turner playing that "non-shooting wing" role.

    Idk how much Zbo has left in the tank but he'd be interesting for a year or two until Collins is ready if they traded Aminu.

    Evan Turner is Steph Curry when you compare his shooting to MKG’s.
