    So how much money did Cronin cleared now? Are we signing Giannis at season end or what?

    If the team is truly committed to building an entirely new roster around Dame, then I hope this trade was done with the intention of keeping Ingles. He's exactly the type of player you need to surround Dame with. Floor spacer, doesn't need the ball in his hands, capable defender, good size, happy setting screens, etc.

    Agreed. CJ only has 2 years and Powell is on a reasonable deal. So selling the team in 2 years could have had a pretty clean cap sheet with the roster we still had last week.

    I think we are doing a full on long term rebuild.

    For this, he (Ingles) wants to play here - and he would only likely do it if Portland chooses to go over the cap to sign him for more than Utah would be willing to - as Portland now has his bird-rights.

    He tore his knee and is going to be 35, doesn't make sense to sign on a rebuilding team.

    Would you sign him for more than the MLE? I wouldn't.

    I am not saying I think she will sell but as some know before a sale happens sometimes the company will try and make the company look better by cutting costs aka salary and other stuff

    Now this could just be a rebuilding play and I hope it is cause I would love to see an Allen own the team once it wins a Championship in the next few years ( hopefully ) in honor of Paul Allen but not to be open to the idea this might be a possibility would be silly.

    I think the job Cronin has done clearing salary while not ideal and as i have said is a gamble at least he was willing unlike the NeO who played it safe for the most part.

    Ingles will never re-sign here. Pointless other than to clear more cap. They going after Harden in the summer? Oh and another 2nd rnd pick.

    If we didn't want Naw why didn't we take Hayes

    Well according to NBA GM's Westbrook is on a reasonable deal since he's been traded 4 times in 4 years?

    I'd guess we didn't want him due to legal issues or NOP actually preferred to keep him.

    for what? he'll prolly be out til March 2023. We better not waste any capspace on him next yr. It would not surprise me if he retired.

    He said he's probably retiring if he gets traded. Plus he's 35 years old, terrible defender this year, and coming off a torn ACL. Why would Joe Cronin, the guy who values super athletes, even want to sign this guy?

    He wouldn't. It's just more cap space. I fully expect Ingles to retire.

    This also has crossed my mind. If Jody is planning on selling hopefully the team will remain in Portland. Merritt Paulson Will need some help.
