    Better defender then Henderson, has better handles and court vision and Both are bad 3p shooters and fairly good in the mid range.

    If we let Crabbe and/or Harkless walk for similar (or less) and get nothing in return, then this move becomes that much more confounding.......

    Evan fucking Turner? I'd rather just keep Harkless. This can't be real.

    I'm curious what other offers Turner had. I liked him as a college player, but since then... nada.... but Ohio State players have worked out so well for us... Ok, maybe Jimmy Jackson was okay?

    Just watch.... we'll do a lopsided trade for Monroe or Kanter now. They make 17.1 million. We have roughly 8.3 million in space left. That means we need to clear 9 million to absorb one of those guys. Renounce Meyers or Harkless, trade Plumlee for Monroe/Kanter.

    I bet that's the move.

    Remember when everyone freaked about missing on Monroe and were pissed at the Aminu consolation prize?

    Just breathe peeps.

    why is everyone blaming Olshey. I can't see how it is his fault that Whiteside and Parsons are making what seem to me to be irrational decisions. I'm glad he had somebody else ready so quickly, give him some credit.

    It's Gasol. And I doubt we can out pitch San Antonio to get him.

    Does it occur to you that maybe he just did that? Adding a quality backup PG could mean having the ability to trade CJ for a major piece.

    It's not the guy, it's the price. On the other hand, we all say cap space is pretty useless for the Blazers, so I dunno
