    Sporting News is reporting a Bleacher Report rumor that Portland may be interested in a return of the Buffet of Goodness that is Channing Frye for a Playoff run.

    Trying to get the link and confirm.

    Bleacher Report? Haha, cue @BlazerWookee Not with the length of that contract and Olshey trying to stay flexible. I don't think we need another big man unless we send one out. You could make the argument that some on our team (like Vonleh and maybe even Ed Davis) already don't play enough as it is.

    In a universe where you value the 3 pt shot...but I don't for a second believe he'd be a starter and more than likely, we'd trade one of those guys in the deal

    Leonard can hit the three. And Vonleh can too (he did In college).

    And you're eating 8 million per year into our cap space next year.

    No no no no no no no

    What if you got Orlando's pick in the deal?

    The Bleacher Report report I've found so far doesn't mention the Blazers, just that teams have begun inquiring about him.

    More than likely, you'd lose Davis in the deal and be able to slide Leonard to the center and utilize Frye at the 4

    Why would they be so desperate to get worse plus lose their pick?

    Then yeah. But I don't see them doing so. that pick is valuable. Much more than meyers Leonard bird rights. And much more than offloading fryes deal

    No way would I trade Davis for Frye. Davis has been a steal for us.

    This is where it could get interesting. A little wheeling and dealing to get that pick.

    There's a lot of shitty GM's in the league, including the one who traded Harkless for a 2nd round pick.
