FYI, some of your information at the beginning of the article regarding how much the Blazers could/would pay a buyout candidate is incorrect. I detailed a lot of the minutiae of that in the Markieff Morris thread.
We’d be better off keeping them. They both become assets after the season as expirings. Could be used to acquire a big contract like Blake, Gordon, or Hayward (just examples)
The $2.4 million figure for the veterans min? The MLE? Edit: read your posts in the MM thread. I didn't realize the MLE decreased. Thanks
No reason to. They become assets next season. Wait, and trade them. The Blazers still have 3 stretched contracts they are paying off, and are nearly rid of. Add 3 more?
JUST TWO! Can almost guarantee you NO doesnt move both, and I was sort of kidding, but seriously how else do we convince stotts to get them off the court...
Oh, I was thinking Meyers too. Still. He has to to resign our free agents and not go into repeater tax territory

Pau Gasol wants out of SA...he'll probably be bought out...not happy with his minutes ..now that's a vet to teach our young bigs about footwork...elite hoops IQ guy...fits the culture..I think Pau would be great here starting at PF next to Nurk...let him start at PF and give him some burn. Chief can come off the bench..Dame ..CJ...Jake...Pau...Nurk...nice starting core..bring in Curry, Chief , (Hood/ET and Collins/Leonard)....those use for offense/defense tag team until someone clearly earns the spot
Gasol would be a great fit. He can still play, has seen and won it all, and would be a great mentor to the younger guys, specifically Zach. Dame CJ Layman Aminu Nurkic Turner Hood Collins Gasol Harkless, Leonard, and Curry can fight for scraps
