I suspect we won't see a trade, unless....

No, I'm wearing my rosey homer glasses today...and the sun is shinning in Portland.

Yeah I doubt Portland will actually make a trade. Expiring contracts have lost their value, and I can't see Neil breaking up this unit since I don't think anyone knows what they are or are not just yet.

 

shocking everyone is swayed by a small stretch of good play by a player and now they dont want to trade him.
guys.....hes gone no matter what next year. he wants to be a starter and we are not gonna pay him starter money to have him come off the bench. if anything his play has driven up his value to as a player who can contribute for a contender or as an expiring contract.
if you put his contract together with kaman i believe thats roughly 10-11 million. yes the cap is exloding next year but that amount of money is still a good chunk.
the difference between a player fro 20M than a max player at 30M....plus you can throw in a good asset like one of our younger guys that are restricted next year to give the team we trade with an option.

 

I would trade CJ and parts for Paul George.

I apologize for nothing!

 

A great three guard lineup is nice, but a great FOUR guard lineup is better, if all four are cool with it.

 

Why stop at four?

 

I get your angle, but the parts can't include Crabbe or Hendo if you trade CJ.

 

Because eventually, playing 8 guards 12 minutes a night just looks silly.

BTW, if we didn't have active roster limits or salary caps, we'd totally do that.

 

7 minute abs bro

 

12 GUARDS 8 MINUTES!!!

 

So you'd give up CJ and your left.................arm?

 

To be fair, I'd give up Nate's left arm to get Paul George too.

 

Oh. You're just trying to work my last good nerve aren't you!

it also depends on MONEY, how much he wants and how much other guys want. You can't pay Hendo and Crabbe if they get close to 10 mil each plus or minus a little, Crabbe may get more as RFA's who are improving and shoot well often get overpaid, especially so with so much capspace available this summer. So not only do they have to choose but so do we, tough calls.

 

Meyers is NOT an "expiring", he is a RFA ("restricted" free agent"). That means he can get an offer from another team and POR has the right to match and keep him if we want. A UFA like Hendo or Ryan Anderson can go to any team he wants and if he does not pick the Blazers there is nothing we can do.

 

You lost me. You are saying trade Kaman and Henderson (10-11 million worth of expiring contracts) plus one of our restricted FA's to a contender for what? A player or a draft pick?

 

Really? When was your interview with him? When did he state he wants to be a starter just because he used to start? Yes, odds are you are probably right, but Its not in stone, he hasn't made such a comment and I think he is smart enough to know that he could have a bright future as our 6th man.
I don't think its such the foregone conclusion you are painting it out to be. that 30 million max player isnt just gonna sign here right now. unless you did that interview too? Who is that max 30 mil a year player that will sign here that its so important to shed Hendo's salary for?

Im not opposed to trading him if the right trade comes along, but you dont just trade him because you "think he wants to be a starter and wont stay" These are conversations for NO and the player and I highly doubt NO is gonna let the media or us in on those details

 

Neither are the future at SF. Id rather have Crabbe at SF and reel Aminu in a package for a star (Horford), but teams would rather have Crabbe by far. I wouldn't mind trading Aminu though because it'd open up more cap space next year.

 

well if you were giving up that much money wouldnt it have to be for a player? i guess i didnt specify but if i was using common knowledge i would think, if we were giving up that much in contracts(lets say 13 mil) between kaman,gerald and a young RFA that you would most likely be getting a player back unless that team can take on that much money for this year.
gerald can be used to trade for a good player on a contract in that money range...or he could be the perfect aaron afflalo type trade last year. u heard some team gave up a first round pick and will barton for that chump.
and maybe i watch too much talkin ball, listen to the radio too much and read all the articles around the blazers but gerald thinks hes a starter in this league and wants to stay a starter. if i didnt have a life i would try to find it for you.
if you think gerald is going to stay here to come off the bench well...sorry. if you think we're going to pay gerald 12-15 million to come off the bench well...sorry
you dont trade him cause you think he wont stay? boy i wonder what we could have gotten for lamarcus last year...
next time i interview him ill be sure to let you know lil sassy gal
