    Lit it UP for Detroit 2 years ago. Not much of a defender or rebounder but at least an option when Zach inevitably gets into foul trouble.

    He's a veteran PF who can shoot the 3 and averaged about 19 mpg coming off the bench for his career.

    I'm hoping Olshey will sign another C or PG.

    I’d probably leave the 15th spot open and let guys battle it out in training camp

    Tolliver is a guy that potentially could have some trade value at the deadline if he's out of the rotation.

    I don't mind this signing at all. Good solid vet who won't be an issue if Skal beats him out for rotation minutes.

    Who is our GM right now????

    Olshey certainly wouldn't sign and trade for all these guys that make our team average age not near the youngest in the league. LOL

    Tolliver is a solid team defender. He also draws charges. He's literally top 20 every year in charges drawn per game. .22 last season, .23 the season before. How many total drawn charges did the Blazers have last year?

    Olshey is setting himself up for mid year trade with all our one year contracts

    Why?

    Dame isn't a liability anymore. Baze and Hood are good defenders. Collins and Whiteside are rim protectors.

    I think they'll be fine.

    Also, of the stretch 4s left in FA, he's probably the second best one after JaMychal Green, who I don't think is actually a minimum guy and is just waiting to see which team Kawhi goes to before he signs his deal.

    And by stretch 4s, I mean actual stretch 4s. Not theoretical stretch 4s. Not like, this guy can kinda shoot a bit maybe (ahem, Vonleh). Like....Tolliver actually takes a lot of threes, and makes them.

    The good part about that is we can use some of these vet signings as trade filler instead of having to include guys like Skal or Little.
