    meh....I like what I see in both Layman and Swanigan and a 2019 first round pick is something I want to keep around. Seems like a risky lateral move including losing a pick to me...if we got a Jimmy Butler deal I'd sure move some assets but this ain't a Jimmy Butler deal to me.

    I'd be a terrible GM.....but as I said...Prince and Plumlee don't sound to me like an upgrade and a first round pick next season is only somethin' I'd use for a solid impact player at this point ….you could be right...I couldn't pick Prince out of a lineup ...Plumlee never impressed me though..I'm a bigger fan of Layman and Swanigan than most around here

    I honestly doubt either of these guys are in the league after their rookie contracts are up...

    Ed Davis and Aminu were good signings as he said.

    I'd do that once a day and twice on Sunday but why do the Bucks do it? Thon is probably gonna start for them.

    Actually Thon was a HUGE disappointment last year for them. They signed Brook Lopez too and still have John Henson and Tyler Zeller.

    As pointed out to you on NUMEROUS occasions if that was the fucking plan why not just cut them to begin with? At least make sense when trying to troll.

    This theory stems from a stupid tweet from a guy who is just as negative about the Blazers as you are. What team could take Aminu back without giving us something in return? Until you can answer that question stop posting nonsense.

    Because it makes no sense to dump wade or layman now if you can dump them in february

    Bro, Prince put those numbers up against actual NBA comp, not summer leaguers.

    I don't get what's so funny. We did the same with Noah last year. I'm sure we can find takers for them at the deadline like we did with Vonleh. Give em a shot for the first few months then cut losses.

    But Noah was guaranteed already. His point is, if the goal was save money, then they wouldn't have guaranteed their deals

    Ya we'd have to find a trade instead of being able to cut them. Don't think it will be all that hard to find a trade partner.

    Maybe sacramento??? Vlade and Neil made a Lot of Deals in the past. Neil:"Hey vlade my Friend can i Send you Aminu to safe our owners Money? He's on an expiring cheap Contract and i Don't want anything in return" Vlade: sure i'll take him till the end of the Season, have a nice day"...Thats probably the conversation
