    It still leaves a roster spot open.

    Nurk ate him alive. So now he can do it regularly in practice.

    He ate WCS alive. Skal barely played that game.

    Actually Skal's stats compare very favorably to Zach's.

    The only thing they have in common is position.

    Skal is underrated. I get why he didn’t play in Sacramento, but this is a good get for a guy that hasn’t flashed any nba ability imo.

    I wanted us to dump Harkless for Skal. Getting him for only Caleb is a win. But we need an actual starter. Come on!

    Agreed. A couple of minor deals but nothing that really makes this team significantly better.

    Skal's FG% is a touch higher, his 3pt% is a touch higher, his FT% is WAY lower, he averages .9 more points, 1.1 REB lower and he rides the pine just like Swanigan. tell me how this trade benefited us....

    matter of fact, he has played less games than Swanigan....

    I remember when this guy was seen as a top 5 pick in his draft and compared to LMA!

    How it benefits us is a different topic than how they compare as players.

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAA we finally got rid of him!! one of my least favorite Blazers of all times.

    If this guy can shoot or pass or dribble or catch the ball then he is a huge upgrade!

    How did we end up with two fucking “let the cake bake” boners in a row?
