I wouldn't be surprised to see a cost saving move, but very surprised to see something more than that.
Except Wiggins is only 24 and still has room for growth... CJ is 29 next season and hasn’t improved in 5 years
Why did Minnesota give Golden State a gift like this? Wiggins will fit so much better with a healthy Curry and Thompson next year than would Russell. AND a 1st? Unreal. The rich get richer...
I agree as Olshey made his move a couple weeks ago. I guess to satisfy the impatient maybe he should have waited to the deadline as having Ariza for a 6 fewer games would be better than getting him when we did. <sarcasm alert>
I realize the whining going on is just the norm for Blazer fans but let's be REAL for just a moment the Blazers are going to need Memphis and / OR the Spurs to implode to even have a chance at a 8 or 7th seed. Also if Hassan is traded there is a better then even chance that means the Blazers are throwing in the towel for this season possibly pissing off Dame so as much as NeO has made some bad decisions in the past but atm he is kind of between a rock and a hard place. I think a WIN for a Whiteside trade would be a solid player in return and a mid to late 1st round pick but i do not think Whiteside can be turned into much more atm but we shall see still 90 min til the deadline as i am writing this up.
They have essentially traded Crowder for Winslow. The other pieces don’t really matter. As long as Winslow is healthy they might do well.
