    Hopefully Chicago just reroutes Porter.

    what we're seeing is that expiring contracts have been integral to a lot of the trades

    unfortunately, for Portland, there are about 3 times the number of expiring contracts next season as there are this season. This year when there are buyers of expiring deals there are only a few sellers. Next year will see the reverse. Blazers and good timing seem to fit together like motor oil and new carpet

    Aminu and Curry probably have some value out there in addition to our 1st and Collins. Let's use them!

    Doesn't change that it was a salary dump.

    Such a weird deal.

    I know Otto isn't much of a value on that contract (he's probably a negative), but I thought they could get more. And Porter doesn't really make sense for a team like the Bulls.

    Nice pivot. You have a different definition of salary dump then. Portis is an asset.

    *Dwight Schrute voice*

    Question. Will you be satisfied if the deadline passes with Hood as our only move?

    Seriously, if all my local teams had the luck of the Blazers I'd have drank drano a long time ago. Look at the opposite scenario in the Oregon Ducks. They lose their head coach to Florida State. Turns out the replacement is a much better coach who got a bad reputation at his last job and happens to be maybe the best recruiter in the country. The Ducks land the best recruiting class is over 100 years of football while Willie Taggart crashes and burns in Florida State. That's called having a decent turn of luck.

    If the Blazers lost their coach and replaced him with an assistant. We'd probably find out the coach was a serial arsonist who was addicted to crack.
