    We need Tristan Thompson more than we need Love.

    Over Whiteside?

    I guess I'll use the same question as Love/Anthony, what does Thompson give us Whiteside doesn't? And, if not, what does he give us as a backup that Skal doesn't?

    I can give you $90 mil why that would be a bad deal. His contract is horrendous.

    but his contract is likely why the Blazers would never consider it.

    we also have Hood to consider for a new contract next season as he will likely opt out and let's say he will get around 10 mil. That would be around a $122mil starting lineup that would balloon to around $130 mil the following year. We would be at salary cap hell for the next several years with very little flexibility to do anything.

    Melo will definitely have a shit-fit if he's demoted to a bench role.

    It's funny. Being that the Blazers are considered a championship contender. Hardly anyone wants Love in Portland but if he gets traded to a team like Houston or Utah people are pissed!

    So maybe you missed where I said, if Jody is ok with it, then I also won't worry about the money? I understand the shitty contract. And what we'd need or want to do next year. I imagine if I do, and you do, that she and her people sure as shit do. So, if presented with all that, she says ok, then ok. Depending on trade package, of course.

    I'm not saying it can't or won't for sure not happen, but i would put it in the very unlikely category.

    I assume you would be for it. In my opinion it would be bad for the team

    Maybe the one good thing about signing Melo is that it makes a Love trade less likely.

    With the Hood injury Iggy is a no brainer. Even for a season rental IMO.

    Over Bazemore.
    They have matching salaries and Thompson was even projected to be a buyout guy this year since his contract is expiring and he'll probably want to go to a better team after this year.
