I wonder if Zeller agreed to the min, but if the Blazers don’t find a good target with the TPMLE, they agreed to give him the 5M….
It was incredibly important to bring Powell back. Losing him would have been a disaster. It was a huge win for all sides: Dame/Portland/Powell
The CJ for Siakam talks didn't go very far. I don't think any trades involving Blazer starters have gone far. But there have been quite a few talks involving DJJ, I don't want to report who, but I'd keep an eye on this. Outside of that, it's been very quiet in Portland.
Neil is very high on CJ still. It would have to be a slam dunk deal for them to move him. It would have to be an absolute obvious upgrade to break up the Dame-CJ duo.
you really think this shock jock idiot on radio even understands the implications of this? doubt he even knows. he keeps harping on and on that neil thinks this is coaching problem and billups fixes everything (even when Neil never said that). what a waste bringing Fischer with this moron asking questions.
what a waste of 15 minutes with the most connected guy this side of Woj. At least we have confirmation on the DJ thing. And Fischer's rationale for that was that the org thinks there was a massive dropoff from starters to bench last year, and they want to address that. So it doesn't sound like upgrading the starters is really in the cards. ugh
