    But I see your point. He one day will be an unrestricted free agent. Better to deal the Legend now, before the Legend grows and leaves on his own.

    I agree that makes the most sense, but man we've spent a lot of years watching rebuild basketball.

    Maybe it's just me. But they just fired his favorite coach and our team just fell a part. I would definately be thinking ahead if I was Olshey.

    I guess that Olshey spent a lot of time structuring the current trailblazers with cheap, young, and athletic players. So he is going to see how they do without a lot of tweaking. A major trade would take away most or all of the talent he has acquired. Minor acquisitions like backup PG are possible. He must think he has a pat hand and hopefully he is not bluffing.

    yes, if we can work something out with other teams, for example if Dalls need some capspace to sign Lin we could S&T Wes while they S&T Aminu to us
    I think you like many "hope" something is brewing when in reality very little or nothing is, what we see is for the most part likely what we get

    You guys do realize your talking about being in the same position BOS was in this season...where if they had missed the playoffs they would have gotten Winslow rather than drafter Rozier 6 picks later and then offering as many as six firsts to move up to get and draft him?

    Playoff experience is overrated when it comes to the first round or two. Give me fresh talent every time over one and dones. Coaching experience in the playoffs is the underrated aspect, IMO.

    Actually the likelihood is the opposite just mathematically speaking. They still have roster spots to fill.

    25 mil is a ton of money. More than any other team right now.

    I keep saying were going after a RFA or two. Last years offer sheets by Parsons, Hayward, etc didn't leak until a day or so before the moratorium ended. That's by design. Give the other team as little amount of time as possible to maneuver around to keep the player.

    You don't have to sign just free agents to spend that money buddy. Look what Neil did with Just 9mil 2 years ago
