Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

Nurkic is better. They cant play together. So why would we get Gasol to bring him off the bench, which he wouldnt like and he'd leave over?

 

If they're moving Meyers Leonard for Marc Gasol or Caleb Swanigan for Marc Gasol....I like what the fuck Portland is doing...Memphis wants picks and rookies is what is being said...in terms of minutes played...Meyers is almost still a rookie....low miles

 

Gasol would either be taking Meyers or Zachs minutes I'd guess...he's at the point in his career where a bench role might be in order...his brother has been coming off the bench for a long time as well

 

Neither of those trade would work money wise and Memphis isnt trading Gasol for anything less than some sort of combination of picks and good young players.

No, Meyers is not a rookie. He turns 27 in less than a month. Swanigan isnt a good young player.

 

you didn't read my post about Meyers....I said he's played so few minutes over his career that he's almost like a rookie

 

Are you Meyers’ wife?

 

I haven't proposed a trade for Gasol that wouldn't include whatever is necessary salary wise or other.....nor do I have much interest in cap issues etc....so my post is …..I like Marc Gasol...if we got him I'd be happy about it.....and we could move Meyers or Caleb or Zach to obtain him...

 

Gasol makes 24M; Meyers makes 10M. Blazers would have to add another 9M to the deal, and then they'd be paying Gasol 25M to be an 18 minute a game backup. So yeah...what the fuck?

 

Not making that connection but....hey

 

There is no need to insult anyone's sex life.

 

If Olshey trades Nurkic for Gasol I’ll kill him myself.

Assuming he’s not THAT stupid, Gasol coming off the bench would be amazing. I still don’t see what we’d offer that Memphis would be intrigued by.

 

first of all you don't know what minutes he'd play or deal we would get...….Stotts makes that decision...don't like getting Gasol....that's fine...I read we're looking to acquire him this morning and the last thing I thought was that it was a negative thing...really have no interest in arguing the point...Gasol would probably love to get out of Memphis grind it out system for once in his career

 

what I immediately noticed about the article was it said Portland was being "aggressive" going after Gasol...I think that word is leaking out of Olshey's office at a nuclear pace

 

I hadn't gotten that far yet …...

 

A whole lot of folks are down on Neil Olshey for not making deals......rumors include him working on a deal and people complain...in my view, Olshey's job is on the line this season...he has a ton of motivation to get us to the next level or lose his job. Either way....we either get better or lose Olshey….for most folks around here wouldn't that be a win-win?

 

Like last year with deandre

 

Evan Turner and Zach Collins for Marc Gasal?

 

If we made an aggressive offer for gasoline he would already be a blazer. We probably inquired that’s it and offered garbage

 

Could be smoke and mirrors...Olshey starts the rumor so other teams rush to sign Gasol when the wing player he really wants is up for grabs so that team can clear space for Gasol......this wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

We don’t need Gasol, we need a fucking FORWARD, actually 2 of them.
