Part II: Neil Olshey promises an 'aggressive' offseason

Sanders is listed as 6'11" 235
LMA is listed as 6'11 240 I am surprised LMA is 240. I still thought he was around 230.

Interesting that Dieng is listed as 6'11 245 on draftexpress. I am curious to see if that holds up

 

Just reading the scouting report. Said he has a pf build.

 

Plumlee is also listed as 6'11" 245 lbs.

 

I think that getting a veteran center who can have an immediate impact upon the Blazers' ability to defend the paint is what Olshey has in mind rather than another rookie project.

Whoops. I meant to post this in MM's hypothetical Leonard trade thread.

 

I'm thinking Gortat is the best we can get without selling the farm

 

How can people compare us to the 2004 Pistons? That team was built on defense. Our team barely bothers to raise their arms.

 

Olshey isn't going to get what we need this offseason. We have so many holes and not enough assets to garner them. He can be aggressive, but it's better to be smart and think long-term.

 

Houston is going to try and create room for a run at Dwight.

10th pick for Omer Asik and Terrance Jones.

Omer doesn't block shots but still ranks as an elite defender/rebounder.

 

Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey did an AMA on reddit today.

Sounds like Asik is a piece they value. Maybe the 10th plus a future 1st?

 

problem with Gortat is that he's "decent" yes, but do you want to give up the #10 pick for ONE yr left on his contract? I don't think I do

 

I'd go after Gortat or Noah first. Not sure why Chicago would let go of Noah though, Gortat was supposedly on the block for not much last year. The risk would be him not resigning with us, as he only has one year left.

DeAndre Jordan is really over-paid, but he'd help the team. He seems the most likely canidiate to be shipped out in a salary saving move.

 

I think McGee is more likely to go in a salary move, eseciially when they start Koufos and may keep Mozgov

 

If Denver likes Mozgov, I say we call Denver and tell them that we are prepared to over pay to get him. They will have pay a lot to match. Or they can trade us Mcgee at a reasonable amount.
Personally I think I would rather have Mozgov.

 

I think they reply; "enjoy overpaying for mozgov".

 

Mozgov sucks

 

For all I know you are 100% right. But just out of curiosity what are you basing that on?
Last time I remember watching him play was with the Knicks. As I recall the Knicks liked him and
did not want to include him in the trade.

 

Well, Javale is 2nd only to Larry Sanders in blocks per minute. He can finish inside....but what about the rest of his game? He seems like a bonehead.

 

Mozgov and Leonard seem failry similar.

Myers a little more offense, Timofey a little more defense.
