    That's what I'm thinking. If we're keeping Leonard and Vonleh as well, Davis and Plumlee become redundant behind Ezeli. Our frontcourt is already getting crowded for minutes with Turner taking SF minutes away from Harkless and Aminu and pushing one or both of them into more minutes at PF, and I'd prefer to keep both of them over both Davis and Plumlee. I really like both Davis and Plumlee, but if we're picking just one to come off the bench, I think I like Davis better for that role.

    Why? Ezeli will only be playing 20 games. Plenty of PT for everyone.

    I'd be okay with this.

    As long as he does it around the time frame that works best for our roster shaping.

    Yes we can't let these guys leave. Ezeli might be the starting C, but for security we need at least 2 more for back up :lol:

    "There is something good brewing here"

    "I bought a one way ticket, we are going to figure it out"

    Festus wants to be here, and apparently he isn't taking no for an answer.

    Ugh! I think Festus would be a solid pickup, but not for 20 million, Jesus Christ, and dump Leonard, not Harkless.

    Ezeli
    Plumlee
    Davis
    Leonard
    Vonleh

    Idk, it's a tough decision. I don't see how the team can rely on guys like connaughton and layman though. Not yet at least. Gotta trade a big or renounce Meyers, but we'll see!

    Don't shit your pants. The Blazers aren't going to pay that much. Ezeli wants to be here, he bought a one way ticket. Now, in my neck of the woods that means he is willing to negotiate.

    Looks like he mixed his whites and reds in the wash again.

    Well, if he's not signed, he can stay over at your house.

    Double fuck. Guess it's my turn to be disgusted with a Blazers move.

    If he sign it looks like that his intention then you properly you would trade Plum down the road. He is going to what to get paid next year. I wouldn't trade until ML can play again it insurance just in case Festus go down.

    If he takes the QO I don't think you can trade him without his permission.
