    Lakers give away Zubac for an open roster spot so they can get Carmelo. Things could be worse folks.

    GREAT trade by Clippers. Zubac is going to be very solid.

    Zubac/Harrell is really nice up front.

    Hell yeah, Swanigan for Skal is okay! Still hoping for something else though.

    I didn't claim that he advocated for it. Just that it's kind of ridiculous to bash Olshey because we had the assets when it would be stupid to do the deal for that package. In my humble opinion, of course.

    well yeah, that's an argument; so is the inverse. And god knows we don't have enough arguments here

    they could re-sign Mirotic using Bird Rights.

    but the thing is, right now Portland will be 4-6M below the tax line with only 10 players. If they add a player using their draft pick, they would be 2-4M below the tax line...with ownership questions and without PA's deep pockets

    and Portland would have Aminu, Layman, Curry, & Hood as free agents. And if Layman keeps producing similar to how he has been, he's going to get a good offer sheet; and right now, he sure looks like the priority free agent

    I think Aminu is going to walk thru the same exit door that Ed Davis did, and Curry could be beside him, so any future value for Portland you see in those players is pretty questionable

    really?? what's a better PF rotation, Aminu + Zach or Mirotic + Zach? One better defensively, another better offensively, but it was offense that failed in last year's playoffs. And would Portland really be a worse team if Curry's minutes were replaced by Layman, Harkless, Hood, and Turner?

    I do not see any compelling argument for either situation, but we do know that the Aminu + Zach rotation didn't do a lot of good in the playoffs

    geeeezuz....I didn't bash Olshey for this...do you get that? What I bashed was the reasons people gave for defending Olshey for the Mirotic trade because they weren't accurate. Portland did have expiring contracts sufficient and they did have draft assets

    Yeah, can’t wait for Neil to spin this as to how much we’ve improved.

    And the obligatory, “at the end of the day, we like our team and it takes two to make a deal fit.”

    Skal was acquired because Collins is being moved in a deal for a quality PF.

    Not.

    That seems like a lot for Fultz, IMO.
