I know you always look to improve but right now I think just about every Blazer is outperforming their perceived value. Hard to win a trade that way.
No, if a player is waived after a trade then you can't reacquire him for a year but any player traded during the season like Vonleh was the restrictions ended after the Finals.
Depends on if you believe they will revert to some earlier form. Will Meyers return to MyLe? you think thats likely then you are right, trade now (or soon) but I you think Meyers has actually figured something out and will continue to perform and even grow, then even if his stock is higher than before, it would still be a bad time. I'm sure several will grow and several will fade. pick correctly.
Kevin Love? I'd hate to lose Aminu's defense but Aminu/Meyers for Love? Dame/CJ/Jake/Love/Nurk Love can play some center too Defense might be slightly worse but offense would be pretty close to Golden State's level. And Love has experience beating Golden State in the Finals.
He's not eligible to be traded until Jan 24th, two weeks before the deadline. I still don't get why Cleveland signed him to an extension this summer.
I think we need to dump meyers so we can keep stauskas. We are going to be very close to tax threshold next year, and even pa wanted to avoid the tax.
As a top 5 team in the NBA, do we have glaring needs? Saric doesn't fit in Minny, but he wouldn't fit here either. An "upgrade on Aminu" would be basically either Draymond Green or maybe Jaylen Brown, and neither is remotely available. Our bench is great. CJ (our prime asset for trading purposes) is our current +/- leader. So... nobody? If I had to say anybody, I'd say target a Harkless replacement on the cheap:
