Behind the Blazers Locker Room Door: San Antonio

Good point . . . Webster could be that piece where you are getting some talent back while shedding salary.

My new flavor of the day . . . Parker. Duncan is to the point he can't play back to back, Manu has months of recovery to go to see if he can come back and be the same player. San Antonio is not exactly killing it at the box office and Parker's not in love with San Antonio (according to the moring show).

Or maybe Gay. Gay is due for a big contract extention. I was thinking Travis (because it's Memephis). But Travis and Webster at a much less cost than Rudy. I know Rudy might be a pipe dream, but with Mayo and Gasol and maybe Conley looking like they will comand big bucks . . . can they give Rudy a near max contract he will be looking for?

Anyways, like you said, maybe teams are willing to downgrade to cut salary.

 

I just do not see Rudy Gay as the target. He is not an effective player if the offense does not run through him (which it will not in Portland), he is not a great defender. We basically get from Travis what we would get from Gay if he was here - but without the drama of being a star that does not get a lot of touches and at a reduced cost.

I still think that the targets are either a stud PG or prospect if this team is not certain Bayless can make the leap - or/and a backup banger PF.
