    Guess no one wanted a salary they could buy out for $1M in a couple of days. So $7M plus a $1M buyout for not one single game played. Where do I sign up?

    We might be able to work a deal for you, but first we're going to have to put you on the rack and stretch you out to 7 feet and then surgically remove the cartilage from your knees.

    Well, that closes the door on the option of trading FEEC for something of value. It was a long shot, but with so many teams looking to clear cap space before tomorrow, I was holding out a tiny glimmer of hope.

    Let me know when you sign up, I'll not play a single game for you for a 1.5% commission...

    Well that's not encouraging. Sad that we couldn't find any takers for that deal.

    The sad thing is that that is actually true.

    Bulls released rondo, which was an even more appealing contract. Guess no one wanted cap space bad enough to give up anything

    And with this, the Blazers off-season is complete...
    I don't anticipate any additional trades or signings (except for maybe 1 g-league contract)

    Deal. I'd rather get the smash your bones and stretch them surgery than just a rack but whatever. I don't think I have much cartilage left in my right knee.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Festus brought veteran leadership, which manifested itself in the team's surge after the trade deadline.

    Good work, Festus. Shame you couldn't play. You'll always have a place in Blazers lore.
