    This is the biggest gamble trade Olshey has ever made in Portland. It's a single, or stretch double, but giving up the picks is a sign he's to put together a roster to win right now.

    @BonesJones et al. What does this mean in terms of cap and trades? I assume this is roughly equivalent to
    picking up Ariza contract, but would like more info.

    No wonder we’ve been so connected the most to Scrubb, Neil wasn’t planning on joining the draft until late lol

    We probably could have had Covington at many points for 2 firsts. Wonder what sprung the decision to do it now?

    Either way, ballsy gamble finally by Olshey. It's a lot, but they should be able to recoup at least one first for Covington if things go south. Thinking about this a bit more, something like this needed to be done.

    Probably our best lineup since Dame/Matthews/Batum/Aldridge/Lopez

    Covington is a role player on paper, but this move could be a game changer. We saw how much of an impact Ariza made, well we just got a souped up version of that.

    that's it.

    Think some FA decisions are coming that will finalize this roster over the next few weeks. As Nurk said, this year is either KILL or DIE

    Sign Millsap and I'm feeling pretty good about our chances to be a top 4 team in the conference

    Makes me wonder if next year's pick could be a swap of 1st round picks as details come out?

    I keep seeing too much Evan Turner in my timeline with him working out with Dame/Nurk and Dame's trainer. That our FA target?
