    What is she doing? Probably waiting for the TV deal and removing leverage from buyers. Basically, she's willing to wait to get a few hundred million or billion more.

    I get what you are saying, but I just don't think that's a sound strategy. Probably 90% of the posters here know that in 2025 the NBA will be operating under a new group of media rights deals including potentially massive streaming rights packages

    It's known and the sale price of a sports team will always factor projected future earnings. Anybody willing to pony up 2B for the Blazers will know the scope of those media projections backwards and forwards. They won't be surprised. Neither will the seller

    She needs to be asking herself "What would Paul want?"

    I don't think she cares what Paul or anyone else wants. That much is quite clear.

    ... and that's how the Blazers go around the hard cap issue. It is also how they can play 6 players as the Nate McMillan Blazers once tried to do. Genius

    But if they aren't getting the offers they want they are better off to wait for the offers to come up. If there is no rush to sell the team, why do it until you get an offer you can't refuse?

    If Sharpe is the next Michael Jordan they might feel like they'll get the full $3 bil.

    It’s Official Now:

    The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired forward Jerami Grant and the draft rights to Ismael Kamagate from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for the draft rights to Gabriele Procida, a 2025 first-round draft pick (via Milwaukee), a 2025 second-round draft pick and a 2026 second-round draft pick, the team announced today.

    So no information on why the delay in completing the trade?

    considering the bledsoe waiving news came just prior, it seems pretty transparent that they were trying to squeeze him into the deal in some manner, but were unable to do so.

    no extension for JG either it appears.

    He averaged 8 shots a game that series. He shot 50% from the field, 45% from 3. Maybe we shouldn't have been letting him "shoot all day"

    there was an "extension plus sign" possibility that some of us were discussing earlier that would have extended his deal for two years that might have required us to wait until July 1.

    he can get a 4 yr, 112 mil extension 6 months from today.

    I tried like 6 times to buy a Nas Little jersey last year, the shop in Moda was ALWAYS out of 9's for some reason. Now I'm glad I didn't.

    2 things to note here:

    1.) There wasn't an extend and trade, so that means Grant thinks he can get more than 22.5M per year, or wants a longer deal at the very least.

    2.) Today is the first day Dame is eligible to sign his 2 year 100M extension.
