If It's Tuesday, This Must Be.... ...the day a decision is to made on Gomes. Apparently, the Blazers have inquired with all 29 teams regarding trading him.
Re: If It's Tuesday, This Must Be.... Apparently, there is already a thread about the Gomes situation.
Re: If It's Tuesday, This Must Be.... Apparently BB is going to be persnickety until HCP starts going on road trips again.
Re: What happens with Gomes? Seems like the best move would be to send Gomes to a team with cap space to create a larger trade exception than the small one we got with Martell. The Raptors have to have one of the worst rosters in the NBA right now. They better pray for a sign-and-trade with Bosh to get some talent back.
Re: What happens with Gomes? Chad Ford said the Nets and the Bulls are CLOSE to signing 2 Max FAs....they just need a little help....
Re: What happens with Gomes? "Miami has $43.7 million to sign free agents. Need $49.5 million to sign Wade, Bosh and & Bron to max. Losing Beasley ($4.9) gets them close" -CHAD FORD TWITTERZ
Greater desperation as they get closer to their "championship building off-season?" A better deal to dump Beasley not emerging? Something like that. There are time effects that can change things.
Re: What happens with Gomes? I'd trade him to Toronto for Reggie Evans. Evans has a 5 million dollar expiring contract. Combined with Joel and Andre, that's 19 million in expirings. Rather do that than just waive him. Although I'd still be pushing hard for Beasley. Or, try to get Humphries and Terrence Williams from NJ.
Re: What happens with Gomes? BEasy or TWill (BRoy used to mentor him in Seattle) would be sick. Even your Evans idea isn't bad at all. I hope we pursue all these options before giving up.
