[Official] BAE targets

Yeah, I agree. He wants a minimum of 3 years, too, so a team is going to have to be willing to swallow that as well. But, yeah, after seeing what salaries are doing this summer, I think Mo's played his last game as a Blazer and I don't think we'll get anything back for him.

 

If Portland was able to have him agree to stay for 3.18, then I think that qualifies for a free agent and Portland. Obviously he could get more somewhere else

Mavericks, I'm told, are closing in on a verbal agreement to bring back point guard Devin Harris. Sides expected to strike three-year deal

Does anyone know if Dallas signing Harris effects whether or not they would still go after Mo?

 

I would say yes. Regardless if Dallas has cap space, Harris would fill their guard position up

 

I'd have to think so. They have Felton, Harris,mekel and Ellis who can all play Pg.

 

They may still go after Mo if they decide to do a salary dump with Felton.

Then what other teams is Mo talking to besides PDX?

 

if we lose out on Mo i'm betting we get black back.

 

Good luck in getting anyone to take failton.

Maybe the heat if they are desperate?

 

Here is another link discussing Mo near the end of the article.

Why does race have to be involved? haha, i know who you're talking about.

 

I didnt even notice what I assume is my phone autocorrecting that. Ment Blake of course lol

 

Williams and Augustin could be fallback options as well, but they could also fill a need for backcourt perimeter shooting ability, even if Harris returns.

Wonder what Augustin will go for this summer? BAE?

 

I think Blazers are better off waiting. I think they rushed to sign Kaman when Hawes said no when they could have gotten the same talent or slightly less for a lot less money. Let's wait to see what happens with Augustin and Sessions who are both better than Mo. I swear, if the Blazers end up with Kaman and Mo this off season, I'm going to puke watching that second unit again. I don't mind Kaman, but Mo destroys the ball movement in the second unit which in turn stunts the growth of guys like Barton, CJ and T-Rob.

Just say no to Mo. Please?

 

Name some names that they could have gotten if they waited instead of Kaman. There's not a lot of back up centers that are FA's this year.

 

Yeah i would like to see that list as well. I know Kaman was on our list last summer, (This forum's) not sure what the options are this year, seems like there are less.

 

You're right. There aren't that many FA centers out there -
Andray Blatche. 27 yrs old, 11.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 0.5 bpg, 47.6 fg%
Jason Smith. 28 yrs old, 9.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 0.9 bpg, 46.5 fg%
Jermaine O'Neal. 35 yrs old, 7.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 0.9 bpg, 50.4 fg%

I'd say after Hawes, Kaman stacks up pretty good -
Spencer Hawes. 26 yrs old, 13.2 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 1.2 bpg, 45.6 fg%
Chris Kaman. 32 yrs old, 10.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 1.0 bpg, 50.9 fg%

 

How do you know that? Nobody seemed very interested in him last year and he signed with us for 2.5 mil, the interest in him won't necessarily increase this year.

 

Last year there wasn't any teams with enough cap room to sign him. Currently, there is sooo many able to sign him. I would be surprised if he signs with someone less than 3.5.

 

Since he took less than the MLE, by about half, EVERY single team had the ability and money to sign him last season.
