    Zeller and Marvin Williams for Whiteside and Hezonja.

    How does that make the Blazer better next season? We have to pay Zeller $15 million. Couldn't we re-sign Whiteside for $15 million? Marvin Williams would be a free agent.

    First, it gets Hezonja off the team this year, so that's a win.
    Second, Zeller is a lot more likely to be accepting of a backup role next year than Whiteside is.
    Third, yes Marvin is a free agent, but we'd have his bird rights, and could conceivably re-sign him to a reasonable deal (more likely than re-signing Whiteside) without impacting our MLE.
    Fourth, Zeller would be a potentially valuable expiring deal come next year's trade deadline.

    And 5th Zeller would be tradeable this summer, Whiteside re-signing wouldn't be eligible to be traded until December 15th and would have a no trade clause on a one year deal.

    How can we get to Rose's salary? He's just above our trade exception and we can't easily do a 3 for 1.

    With our current turn around, if the Blazers are able to acquire Rose, we become a championship level team in all honesty. With him, Nurk, Little and Trent coming off the bench that would be magnificent.

    Somebody in my comment section just brought this one to my attention. I don't hate it.

    Well, I found my new dream trade...

    LAC Gets: Hassan Whiteside, Langston Galloway (Harris TPE)
    DET Gets: Maurice Harkless, Rodney McGruder
    POR Gets: Tony Snell, Ivica Zubac (Bazemore TPE), 2020 LAC 1st, $15.7M TPE

    OR


    LAC Gets: Hassan Whiteside, DeMarre Carroll (Harris TPE), Skal Labissiere (Harris TPE)
    SAS Gets: Maurice Harkless, Mario Hezonja
    POR Gets: Rodney McGruder, Ivica Zubac (Bazemore TPE), $27.1M TPE

    I love that 2nd one for every team involved.

    CLIPPERS swap Zubac, Harkless, & McGruder for Whiteside, Caroll, and Labissiere
    - They take on a lot of money but get the legit starting C upgrade their looking for who'd likely resign on a cheaper deal since he's starting. They also don't have to give up any picks or prospects.
    SPURS swap Carroll for Harkless and Hezonja
    - This would be a money saving move. The Spurs owe Carroll $7M next year, and by trading him for expirings would get out from that.
    BLAZERS swap Whiteside, Labissiere, and Hezonja for Zubac, McGruder, and a $27.1M TPE
    - First off, HOLY TPE. That would allow Portland to do a multitude of moves this summer and next year.
    - Second, Portland saves $19.8M with this move. Jody's happy.
    - Third, Portland gets a C who has been solid this year, is young, and is on a serviceable contract to be Nurks backup. He could be useful in a trade this summer (say, to SAC in a S&T for Bogdanovic?)
    - Fourth, McGruder is essentially a $5M expiring next year (the year after is unguaranteed), so he'd help match salary if we already used or didn't want to use our TPE.

    What would it take to land Otto Porter from the Bulls?

    We would play Ariza AND Porter, just like Aminu and Harkless, but with way better shooting.

    I like Bones ideas of three ways with Whiteside going to LAC. Just read they are worried about Zubac not being playoff center.

    Here's another idea.

    LAC gets "Whiteside and Hezonja. OKC gets Harrel and Harkless and probably a draft pick from us? Portland gets Schroder and Zubac.

    One other idea, pretty much same as above except include New Orleans instead of OKC and this time it's Jrue Holiday goes to us. I think Anf or Trent would have to go out in maybe both these trades.

    I will tell you some things guys:

    1. Whiteside is not getting traded, like it or not, but he will be here and maybe next Season too.

    2. At some point this Season, we gonna see a Dame-CJ-Ariza-Nurk-Whiteside line-up.

    I can't believe I'm the one saying this, but I don't think you can trade Hassan with the way he's been playing the last few games. His stats actually match his impact and his lazy stretches aren't as prominent of late. We will never get fair value for trading him.

    I think we need to put our tpe and pick into play to get another impact player and get Dame some help.

    Tpe plus pick for bertans sorta thing

    I truly wonder if Draymond Green will be available at the deadline.

    I’m all for re-signing Whiteside if possible, I think he genuinely likes it here, but I’m not sure he will be down for a backup role long term, we HAVE to get something for him, especially when his value is at its highest.

    I have serious mixed emotions over Whiteside.

    On the one hand, I think some Portland fans are underestimating his contribution. OTOH, the last time he was in a contract season he played well enough to get a monster deal - then left everyone in Miami seriously disappointed!
