    thats why i said "damn near" the same player. their stats are VERY similar.

    it's not like i compared Swanigan to Randle or anything like that.

    Clever, but minus five points for having to explain it.

    Another bottom of the roster move that neither deals with the payroll issues nor makes the team a threat to win a play-off series. Why?

    All this talk about being aggressive, putting our pick in play, being buyers, making moves, and we got fucking Skal Labissiere.

    And we did nothing to address our salary issues.

    Fuck this guy man. I'm done with him.

    Skal can catch a lob and the real upside to him is he can become a shot blocker which we really need...he's fast..has incredibly good footwork and handles for a guy with a 7'2 wingspan...can shoot...can run ...only 216 lbs...that can improve

    Yea I think next year during draft you don't have to draft a big you now can draft the best available player.

    Skal sounds like something the Klingons would name a Bird of Prey.

    It saved the Blazers $546,385. Skal makes $195,049 less than Caleb. Add in the $341,336 in tax savings on that and you probably see the main reason for the trade.

    Bean counter move.

    I've been defending Neil, but I don't like it.
    Hood trade, fine.
    Skal trade, good.

    Together? Don't like it. We traded 3 players who don't play for 2 players who should. It's the opposite of the consolidation trade I was hoping for :)
