Yup - preserve the cap flexibility for trades. And this is why I keep saying that Free Agency should be the last resort for improving the roster....
Hey - I'm rubbing it in my own wounds, too.
You were saying?
I've liked Olshey throughout his Blazers tenure despite some questionable moves. But the questionable moves keep piling up and I'm becoming less...
Except Lakers meetings!
S&Ting Meyers for Howard is so much more difficult than finding a team willing to give a protected pick for a value contract like Davis and Aminu.
Yes, I think that's a given but we'd still have to clear salary for Howard even if both Parsons and Howard take a bit less.
I've seen a few different salary numbers out there for the 16/17 season, so this might not be entirely accurate but should be close enough: Trade...
Doesn't want the public humiliation of being rebuffed by Howard, and is too smart to pursue Biyombo.
One of the main reasons people thought it was a good idea to dump Nic was because he was going to leave us for TOR. Clearly he showed that not only...
Look at it this way: If we were offered a trade that netted us Howard/Parsons/2 draft picks, and we only had to send out Davis/Aminu/Harkless,...
Really? Huh - I figured cap holds were in the $2-3M area. And if I recollect Aminu/Davis are both around $7-8M. I didn't realize cap holds were...
If we need to dump salary to make room then it would seem to make more sense to dump both Aminu and Davis and re-sign our RFAs. We still need a...
Yup - it's Neil's job to get Parsons/Howard to understand that: (a) There is no meaningful difference between making $80M and $90M, and (b) They...
I believe that we can renegotiate Parson's contract up to the point where pen is put to paper. So it's conceivable - if unlikely - that the MAX...
I would bet that it'll take $8-10ish to get him. And I would definitely give him that on a 3-year deal with a team option on the 3rd year.
This makes the Nic trade even worse than it was to begin with.
I can't help but wonder if Parsons is honeypotting us as his only way to get back at us for 0.9...
Figured as much. I thought it was MIA with an outside shot for POR if he felt "unappreciated" by MIA.
