Exclusive Official Buyout Thread (Aka Neil's dumpster dive for bargains)

For some reason, no GM will touch this guy with a 10 foot pole.

 

According to Bleacher Report, Orlando is planning to hang onto Otto Porter Jr. Not gonna lie, I was holding out hope we could actually acquire a forward who had at least some offensive (and defensive) ability.

Aldridge gives a shit about the Blazers.

 

DeMar DeRozan?

 

Kanter was given the option by Ainge to go to Memphis or to Portland. Enes is on record saying that he received a text from Dame, “Come back and let’s finish what we started”

 

...LMA does not fit Heat culture, I don't understand why they would want him. Nothing has changed in Portland and it makes the most sense. Beyond that, who else truly wants him? Lakers I suppose and he fits there nicely.

 

Not sure if that was before or after, but I'm sure Enes would have chosen Portland regardless.

 

Yes I do. You have literally no more insight than anyone else on who Dame has or hasn't recruited.

I'm not basing my post on just your one statement. It's the trend you've been on with your posts for quite some time. Like I said, you used to be one of what I consider the better posters around here. Nowadays you're kind of a rich man's Mixum.

 

Mixum....man that names sounds familiar!

 

Haha trust me...I still yell at the TV and get emotional. I live and breath Blazer basketball. I want nothing more than a Blazers championship in my lifetime, and especially right now with Dame.

 

Houston probably wont buy him out but Avery Bradley would be a nice addition for the bench as our 10th man.

 

I’m not sure what LA would even do for us? It’s not like scoring is the problem.

 

The truth is none of the players traded today would have changed the trajectory of this season and post-season under Terry Stotts.

Would have been cool to get Aaron Gordon but it wouldn't have changed a damn thing on the floor.

 

I don't know? The way it sits you are going to see more Little and no more Hood.
Things have indeed changed on the floor.
Then you are going to see no more Trent and you will see a guy that can hit a shot consistently.
Powell might even be able to pass the ball and throw lobs?

 

I like the deal but it didn't change our trajectory for THIS season.

It's a good thing to get Nassir more minutes but if all that means is standing in the corner for a 3 then I'm not sure how helpful that is in his development.

 

I feel like Olshey has to continuously save Terry from himself by trading his crutches. Tolliver and Hezonja before. Hood this season.

 

agree mostly but really now that Nurk is coming back and hopefully is mind air out some and Little & Powell contributing more? then there is Penny Simons, who knows maybe he see's an opportunity for big bucks next year?
