    I need Wenyen back. Where's the PT come from for Nassir? He has more talent than Jones.

    They have to want to play here. This deal tells me that those guys.....didn't want to play here.

    I am not so sure this takes Melo off the Table since Melo is more of a 4 now -- i mean granted prolly not as likely but i would not be surprised to see within next 24 hours -- Blazers re-sign Melo for the 3.7 using the Bi Ann

    Okay, from what I can see from Miami's side, sounds like Crowder wants two years guaranteed, and maybe that's why we didn't make the deal for him.

    I think it takes everyone off the table because it's going to be all minimums from here on out to prevent us from going over the tax.

    I need that second yr to be a team option. Only way this is even remotely palatable.

    I love how everyone is looking out for Judy Allen's money and assuming they do not want to go over the tax line cause even IF they used Bi-Ann they would either be just under or just over so not exactly a huge blow -- LOL

    I don't have any info to know which of the available players were willing to consider Portland or who we wanted.

    If my math is correct we are at 125 million with 3 roster spots left. Lux tax is 132 million, so we can use the full BAE + 2 vet mins and be just right under the lux tax. Talk about cutting it close.

    Kind of crazy Miami chose to pay 9 million to Meyers instead of this guy.

    Neil likes to leave a roster spot open....the rookie might get a two way contract instead of a guaranteed roster spot as well

    Can we re-sign Whiteside at this point? Either for the purposes of keeping him or sign & trade purposes?

    a bit disappointed by the Jones signing.... thought we might have done better
