    a lot more 'we-already-knew-that' rather than 'wow-this-is-new'

    I mean, we already knew that Olshey wouldn't consider trading CJ for players like PG13 and Butler; so hearing he wouldn't trade him for Hart and Lonzo is not surprising.

    They alluded, several times, to the potential value of cap-space without really going into what the Blazers would have to sacrifice to have that space. And with that in mind they didn't once mention the value of Portland's TPE's which to me, seem much more valuable than cap-space

    the Grant rumors I find a little disturbing in that it raises the possibility Portland is tanking with the hope of landing a high enough lottery pick to leverage Detroit into trading Grant. I worry that Portland might trade a top-6 or even a top-4 pick for Grant. That would suck big time

    My definition of "private conversations" must differ from Fischer's.
