    I think each Portland and Milwaukie would need to give NO a future pick, but what about this?

    Puts a shooter/creator next to Giannis. It helps with NO's rebuild, and we get AD to put next to Nurk and a starting caliber shooting guard to replace CJ.

    Dame/Simons/Trent
    Snell/Brown/Trent
    Harkless/Layman
    AD/Skal/
    Nurk/Kanter?

    Doesnt help our cap, and would likely need to do another trade with the excess guards to shore up the big man backups.

    Josh Jackson just got arrested. He also got arrested for assault in college. He will never be a Blazer as long as Olshey is here.

    Not even Pot.
    He was trying to get into a VIP area and was told to sit in a golf cart. When he took off the police went after him and arrested him. He is 22 years old. He is a kid that made a kid decision. Exactly the kind of kid that Olshey would consider.

    And his assault charges were for "Verbal Threats" against a female basketball player. This all stemmed from some damage to her car. Then there is the word they were in a relationship at some point.

    If he just got arrested stock should be low and a better trade might work, giving up less.

    Number 4 pick should be worth at least a look right?

    Doesn't matter. Olshey avoids these type of guys like the plague.

    I wonder how much of that was a pa thing because of the jail blazers and with jodi in control, maybe the goodie too-shoes theme can be backed off a bit?

    If Josh Jackson continues along this path he won't be in the league for long just like Isaiah Rider.

    Then we could just resign everybody without using the mle and just pay the tax bill? I thought once you hit the hard cap you couldn't sign anyone anymore.

    Makes no sense. Pelicans would never do that.

    There is no hard cap unless you use the Full-MLE or do a sign-and-trade to acquire a free agent. This is different than what we can pay certain players to stay. Layman and Aminu we can give max contracts if we really wanted. The other 3 are limited to the Tax-MLE or less.

    The pessimist in me says we lose Kanter, Hood, Curry, Aminu, and Layman.

    Our starting lineup on opening day is:

    Dame
    CJ
    Harkless
    Collins
    Meyers

    I'd be surprised if at least one of those guys wasn't kept, mainly Layman since he's a restricted free agent.
