    Marks: ‘It would be difficult for the Blazers to part with Whiteside’

    ESPN’s Bobby Marks places the spotlight on Hassan Whiteside and Kent Bazemore in the lead up to the trade deadline.

    It would be difficult for the Blazers to part with Whiteside in a trade. He is on a $27.1 million contract, but he’s looking much more like the player who had a career year in 2015-16, making him a reliable insurance policy while Jusuf Nurkic continues his injury rehab. Holding on to Whiteside despite his expiring deal would give Portland the option to sign him as a free agent (he has Bird rights) or use him as an asset in the offseason in a sign-and-trade.

    Bazemore has struggled to shoot the ball well in Portland. Could his $19.1 million contract and a lottery-protected first-rounder be enough for a player such as Danilo Gallinari? Although Carmelo Anthony has filled in admirably at power forward, Gallinari would give Portland even more options. He would also come with Bird rights in the offseason.

    What is wrong with the Cavs? In our mock draft this summer, as Cleveland's GM, I traded Love for a first round pick, Derrick Favors (who I turned into another first round pick) and also two young guys, Tony Bradley and Nwaba. :)

    Zero chance Thunder trade Gallinari for a scrub like Bazemore... they are solidly in the 7th seed for playoffs.

    We would have to add in Little or a draft pick.

    I'd be surprised if either Gallo or Melo could play SF effectively

    I might do Bazemore, Little and a 2nd for Aaron Gordon.

    Aaron Gordon is basically the PF version of Bazemore who is good in the dunk contest.

    Gordon looking good against LA and Lebron right now. Defense, scoring, playmaking. I think he’d fit well.

    Sauce Castillo looked good against the Lakers.

    Gordon is 24 and his contract is ok. He is not a bad get. He just shouldn't be our top target.

    That’s pretty much where I’m at. Keep Whiteside, dump Bazemore and a pick.

    Whoa. Is Minny starting to throw in a towel?



    Now Minny has Crabbe/Layman/Napier/and Volneh on their roster with Vanterpool.

    But this is some idea of the kinda trades we'll see with expiring contracts for other expiring ones most likely.

    Minny only saves like $1 million in this deal. We definitely could have gotten in on this one with Bazemore. Tbh I think we would be a better team starting Dame/CJ/Teague than Dame/CJ/Baze.

    Disagree, I want to get taller, not shorter.
