Forum Game Be The GM: Your Best Plan For The Blazers 2021 Offseason

Resign Powell.
Trade CJ and a pick for Middleton.
Sign the best PF/SF with the MLE such as Otto Porter Jr.
DJJ opts in.
Resign Kanter for 4 million for one year.
Zach takes the qualifying offer. Ideally if he gets healthy he beats out Kanter for minutes.
Let Melo walk.
Sign Austin Rivers with the BAE or whoever the best backup PG is.
Resign RHJ.


Dame Rivers
Powell Simons Elleby
Middleton Otto Little
Roco DJJ RHJ
Nurkic Kanter Collins

 

Thats not how the salary cap works. The Blazers don't have cap space, even if they let Powell walk. Unless you mean DeRozen would sign for the MLE.

 

yeah, people forget about cap-holds:





if Powell opts-out (almost certain), you need to slide his cap-hold to this summer

those cap-holds are charged to a team's cap unless the team renounces all right to the free agent

 

Lose Olshey somewhere in the desert and bring in Nelson. Nelson may not be great, but he is competent and represents a breath of fresh air for a stagnant organization.

 

he had a championship team in 2011 and broke it apart willingly.

 

?? What would you suggest? He should have quit rather than follow Cuban's instructions?
