    Source: Trail Blazers have interest in restricted FAs Tiago Splitter & Nikola Peković as potential free-agent signing. More on @750TheGame

    Said on the radio that the Blazers are concerned about making an offer that will eventually just get matched and therefor waste time and other FA options.

    Agreed they should have interest, as well as agreed they should be wary about a waste of time.

    What are the new CBA rules about S&T? If both teams are under the cap, cant we work out a S&T for either? I know there was a change, but can't remember what it was?

    Uh oh...
    Honestly, I've never been all that impressed with Splitter. And given that he's been playing under Pops you can be fairly certain that he's already shown you his best and won't replicate it outside of the Spurs system.

    The New York Knicks are certainly planning a productive offseason. With free agency quietly approaching in a few weeks, the Knicks could possibly be looking to dump one or more of their marquee players. The team has very little flexibility when it comes to their roster and financial freedom. Knicks vice president Glen Grunwald has expressed his desire to keep the core players together, but if they want to improve, that might not be possible. As a result, the team is tossing around the idea of sending Tyson Chandler to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources report.

    Iman Shumpert is not going anywhere. The Knicks view him as a young asset. Amar'e Stoudemire has an inflated contract of $44 million and a poor history of injuries so he is not very valuable in a trade. This leaves Chandler as bait for a favorable package in return.

    The idea might be hard to swallow for Knicks' fans. Chandler has been one of the most productive players on the team in the past two seasons. However, Chandler will be 31 with a history of injuries in his knees and back. His productivity and ability to still play at an elite level make him very attractive to other teams.

    Truebluefan posted this somewhere else. Not sure that website is credible at all, but if true, Portland should do everything they can to get Chandler next to LMA

    14+ million for 2 more years. That is a lot of money. If the Knicks think they would get a sweet deal in return, they are crazy. He may only be 31 but he has a lot of mileage. Cap space is the best they can ask for, and they may have to take back a 3 million dollar player. I would do it for Joel, but I would not offer too much more.

    Disagree. He's already breaking down. At best it would be Theo Ratliff or Marcus Camby (as Blazers), only a lot pricier.

    I put this in the Papanikolaou thread. I hope Olshey just brings him over. The link says he wants to play in the NBA now, but the Blazers don't want to pay the buyout, and points out we have Claver and Batum. But I say you could play all three of them at once (Claver as a stretch 4, Batum as a 2) because they're all versatile. And, unless he nets us Dieng, he'll be a lot more valuable than a low first.

    Funny that the Knicks want him back so badly.

    Word on this! I just can't believe this kid doesn't have it! "experts" were saying he could have gone #1 last year.....he couldn't have fallen off that much right. Would love to have him on our team!

    Dude he is a PG! So what do we do with Lillard? You are fine having 2 6'4" guards on this team?
