    So who do you think will be out there?

    Drummond?
    LMA?
    Porter?

    Who do the Blazers try to go after?

    We have two roster spots available. About 2.7 mil under the tax line.

    So plenty of room and money to be able to land two guys of significance.

    I think the rotation now looks like this:

    Dame (35)/ CJ(13)
    CJ (22)/ Powell (25)
    Jones (25)/ Nas (20)/ Powell (3)
    Roco (30)/ Melo (18)
    Nurk (28)/ Kanter (20)

    Spot minutes: Simons/Giles

    Melo and Kanter need to be staggered in some way so I can even see Melo starting a bit. But I see a glaring hole for a PG. Assuming Collins isn't gonna do much of anything even IF he returns, I feel like we could really use some more depth at the wing. Porter seems like an obvious choice there. He might push Nas out of the rotation but also allow us to go to the Roco at C lineups that have been successful.

    Unfortunately, I don't see any PGs available in the buyout market. Tentatively on the list now:

    - Drummond
    - Aldridge
    - Porter Jr.

    Hard to guess since we don’t know who’s actually getting bought out but among the rumored names Porter is clearly at the top of the list. Problem is hes probably on top of every other teams list as well.

    The “sleeper” for me would be Dieng. Protects the rim and spaces the court.

    I kinda don't want it to be LMA, but it's probably LMA.

    If we didn't do Powell, then Redick would've been interesting, but likely not now.

    If Horford does a Blake Griffin deal, sign me up.

    Whiteside may be available...?

    Why would Miami buyout Harkless?
