    I don't want to help GS do anything except get worse.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they're a one hit wonder. Literally everything went their way last year, I don't see it happening again.

    Not that you're saying anything about this, but damn would I love it if the Blazers were a one hit wonder.

    If we keep LMA and Wes, then I think Gay could work. I think he needs to be surrounded by Vets. I think if he sees his team as a potential contender, he will do what it takes to win. Just like most players. But if he is on a young team going no where , his "team basketball" skills might suffer.

    So if we ended up getting Hibbert and Gay, while keeping Noah, dame, Leonard, CJ, Aldridge and Matthews. Would that be considered a trade that moves the needle?

    I'm trying to accept that Hibbert will be a Blazer. I have a feeling it's #1 on the list. So I use him, like he is part of the team. I would much rather have a better big, but I think Olshey is using the free agency to get someone different.

    We wouldn't have enough cap space to resign Wes, even if we traded Henderson and let Kaman go.

    I disagree. Kaman (5 mil) and 10 mil cap to get Hibbert. Sign Aldridge and Matthews for whatever. In August, trade Anderson and a couple players to get Gay.

    Hibbert $15.5M, Gay $12.4M, CJ/Dame/Meyers/Crabbe $10.6M Plumlee $1.4M Vonleh $2.4M = $42.3M
    $20M to resign LMA leaves you at $62.5M with $1.5M in cap holds so only $3M in cap space. You'd have to renounce Wesleys bird rights

    Bro, we would be over cap getting Gay. The cap space is needed only to get Hibbert (10 mil) + (5mil) for July 1st Kaman.

    Then we have bird for Aldridge and Wesley, so it really doesn't matter what we sign them for. Then we use players acquired to trade for Gay.

    Who knows, but it definitely can be done. Henderson makes 6 something. I'm sure you can find a player to get to 11 for the 110% of the salary

    Funny how the 29 win team is desperate to unload him, isn't it? Or maybe it's because every team that trades him instantly improves.
