Plausible destinations for our vets?

Mike is my go-to guy in Blazers related podcasts. Never too high, never too low. I feel cleverer about my team when listening to him. And his dedication in his every day podcast (except for a few weeks) is impressive. I have a weekly podcast and it's really time consuming. I appreciate the effort.

 

Probably want to give us Lyles and nothing else. Maybe a 2nd?

 

Timelord would fit into the MLE and I believe the Kings could use it without going over the 1st apron

but yeah, they'd probably want to move some salary

a 2nd round pick for Timelord works for me. Maybe pry two 2nd's

 

Houston paid 3 2nds for a broken Steven Adams when it was widely reported they were interested in Rob Williams first. That's the least I would take for Rob. But even then I think the risk/reward of maybe prying a future 1st if he proves he's healthy is worth more than a few seconds. Pretty sure that's how the team feels as well, especially since they just moved a 2nd for 3 future 2nds and then sold another one for nothing.

 

* Adams has played 70 or more games in a season 7 times; he's played 80 games or more 4 times
* Timelord has played 60 games or more one time when he played 61

* Adams has averaged over 25 minutes/game 9 times
* Timelord has averaged over 25 minutes one time

* prior to last season, Adams had averaged playing in 71 games a season
* prior to last season, Timelord had averaged 42 games/season

* including last season, Adams has averaged 64 games
* including last season, Timelord has averaged 38 games

trying to prop up Timelord's trade value by labeling Adams "broken" in comparison is a joke, right?

 

I would assume calling Adams broken was in reference to him being out for the season for knee surgery, but don't let me stop you from doing a career games played recap of two scrubs

 

lol...as if you could

 

Adams was out for the season, like Timelord. It was widely reported they wanted Timelord, and ended up paying 3 2nds for Adams. You don't have to see it the same way, but that's what it is.

 

I get that, but just because Houston paid that price doesn't mean any team would pay the same for Williams. There's also the factor that Houston was dumping the very negative value of Oladipo. The exchange rate for his contract was likely at least one of those 2nd round picks

 

I don't know if there's any real strategic advantage to ditching RW3 contact a year early, but he is a big waste of money. He was more than just a filler in the Dame trade, he was supposed to be one of the key returns. I don't trust him to ever play meaningful minutes for us though.

 

guys who get hurt and miss the season always seem like such a big waste of money. that's the gamble you get with rwiii, i guess.

 

Amic-NO!
Amick-yes.

 

These reportors are insufferable, quoting each other as sources based simply on speculation of drafting DC.

 

Wow, talk about a worthless article. But since this is probably the slowest time of the year for NBA news, I can see why Amico is sharing a post from Ashish.

Yes, the Blazers could trade anyone on the roster.

 

Good find, but seems like a writer needing to fill space. No news.

 

Man screw Aaron J. Fentress, he is one of the worse reporters around and super bias. I’m sure he got that from reading this forum lol.

the way he was engaging and posting about the Dame trade on Twitter, and how we’re are doing him wrong by not sending him to Miami and should do him a favor, even if it hurt us as a franchise.

He was almost trolling on Twitter regularly about it, while getting roasted in the comments, from me included. And he blocked me on Twitter lmao.

I don’t take anything that guy says.

 

These stories of the Blazers should / might etc trade so and so are so obvious that any clown could report this shit and be right at least to a certain degree. The truth as i see it unless something magical on the court happens we should see at least 2 of the 3 if not all 3 gone from the Blazers. This is not breaking news or anything just common damn sense.

 

It’s common sense that you guys think you’re so right lol. Why don’t you guys go and try to become a GM?

anyways, if the right deal is to be had sure, so it’s not about trading them in here, it’s what people what to trade them for. A lot of it will make us take a step back, and we already suck.

It’s all about getting fair value for them, if not keep them. If Cronin makes another CJ type trade people here will rip him lol.
