    My understanding with Trent was it wasn't just the money, but a starting role. He was unlikely to re-sign with us. At best, we could have S&Ted him. Powell is a huge return for Trent and a hobbled Hood.

    What i am surprised we have not heard is something like this from a Quick or someone else --- Now that the Blazers have made a trade they are prolly done and will explore the buy out market to address front court needs

    This means NeO is prolly trying to get a bargain 4/5 but i guess we shall see -- a little under 90 min remaining

    I agree.
    But i do wonder who will be the whipping post now? CJ or back to Melo? Maybe Nurk can hold that position for a week or two? Simons can take a few weeks maybe as well?

    You don't think Powell wants to start either? And it doesn't really matter what Trent wants, he's an RFA. Powell can leave if he feels like it.

    I'm just glad Hood is gone.

    I gotta feeling the buyout guy isn’t gonna be Aldridge. I think there are other teams that can provide more minutes and I think there will be other guys that fit our needs better. Someone like Porter maybe? I would love to believe we’re just gonna hand minutes to Nas, but I just don’t think that’s gonna happen.

    He was a restricted free agent role player, he didn't get to call the shots when it came to if he was playing here or if he was starting. All of that is of no consequence now but I've heard it all season and it's been nonsense the whole time.

    How is Powell going to feel about being a bench player again?

    Gordon to Denver bugs the hell out of me. They were missing something when Grant/Craig left, now they got a better player back in return for a guy in Harris who was absolute trash this year.

    He's going to get 20-30 mins a night and will be in the game for crunch minutes. I don't see this as a problem?

    I'll tell you one thing, unlike Gary if Powell doesn't like it, he can go wherever he wants.
