    Wasn’t he on an extremely good contract? Must be penny pinching time.

    He was developing into a solid rotational player.

    I don’t get this - especially with how weak our PF/C depth is

    WOW. WTF? Isn't he a super cheap contract? I would have thought there was value to trade him.

    Hmmm. This one makes absolutely no sense to me. He will be picked up by another squad and will probably look good on a new team. I'm confused.

    That's surprising. I like his upside and it seemed like he had some playmaking ability. Feels like there is another shoe to drop here?

    walker is younger & chaeper

    watford was developing nicely, but maybe they see talent in walker too

    Bums me out. I like Watford. I know he’s not starter material but he was entertaining.

    At least we don't have to read the Blazers social media team call him T-Wat anymore. That is a win.

    Surely there is a reason

    Makes me excited for FA rather than pessimistic about management.

    WTF his salary was $1.8 million. He was a great backup option over an 82 game season. We had to play scrubs like Reddish/Knox/G league guys/or worse last season and surely will have injuries or other issues at some point next season. He had one of the best dollar for dollar contracts on the team.

    This Jody ownership era is total bullshit.

    The team better sign Draymond for the full MLE or something where there is a huge payoff for this. If we just did this to duck the tax for the umpteenth time I'm going to be furious.
