Blazers trade CJ + DJJ+ Ant + 2 firsts 2022 and 2024 for Ben Simmons. Blazers trade Nurkić for Marcus Smart and a 1st to Celtics. Blazers renounce rights to Zach Collins. Blazers resign Powell. The Blazers resign Melo to Vet min and use him sparingly. Blazers renounce rights to Kanter. Blazers sign a PF/C who can hit the three. There is an FA who fits the bill, Bobby Portis h/t to Blazerkor. The blazers also sign Wenyon Gabriel. As GM I let the money guy figure out how to pull this off and cast off anyone else for 2nd round picks to make this work. PG Dame/Smart SG Powell/Little/Eleby SF Simmons/Little PF RoCo/Melo/Portis/Giles C Bobby Portis/Giles/Wenyon Gabriel we could also experiment with Simmons at the 5 and Little as the starting 3.
Nothing. Sign Whiteside as a bench replacement for Kanter, AGAIN. Add some scrub third-stringer to the end of the bench and proclaim it's a NEEDLE MOVER, then complain when the team starts out 15-20 and say the coaching staff needs more time. Dame plots his exit.
I swear if olshey does nothing or marginal moves and the free agency period passes.... He should be fired.
Hell of a performance review thatd be. "Let's see here... no Dame, no assets, no picks, just what in the hell did you do here?" "That's propietary."
I think Neil will look into acquiring a G league franchise for the Blazers to control...I'm hoping they start one in Eugene but probably will end up being in Seattle or Spokane
