    When Turners on the court, we get outscored by 10 points per 100 possessions. You di t think hes a problem?

    That trade saves us about $10M next year because Smith's final year is mostly non-guaranteed.

    No sacred cows and we do have trade assets, so hold on tight, I feel a block buster in the works that will blow our minds!
    Rip City.....if the right trade came forth for Dame I'd pull the trigger in a nano second. That could happen?

    Anyone interested in checking out Jabari Parker? I think he's contract is rich but he's only 23, and apparently Chicago is taking him out of the rotation. Maybe the Blazers could even get a pick from Chicago in the process.
    I know he hasn't been great, and oft injured. Just throwing the name out there.

    I just got online to post something similar. He has a team option for next year so no way could get a pick too.

    Turner and a 1st for Parker?

    Olshey could probably spin it as if we picked up the option on Parker next year it is just slightly more than Turner's contract and if not it puts the salary well below the tax line.

    LOL, true, but I meant to Jody. It's perfect because it could be a huge salary dump if ownership wants to save money or a boost to the team if Parker plays well.

    Didn't they pull Parker because of his lack of defense?

    That and the fact he is shooting under 30% from beyond the arc. This is a guy who has to be a *major* scorer to compensate for all the things he isn't very good at - and this season he hasn't even been a consistent contributor on offense.

    Honest reaction? If Melo gets waived and decides not to retire he would contribute as much on the court at a fraction of the price.

    My guess is Jabari will be bought out soon. He’s a younger, better version of Melo. I’d take him.

    Only if the pick was lotto protected. I get twitchy at the idea of giving up picks for what is really just a salary dump.

    Parkers got 2 years 40 million contract, thats a LOT to spend to buyout a 23 year old.

    Jabari is also repped by Bartlestein. Lock it up.

    How about this second unit

    Stauskas
    Trent/Simons/Curry/Layman
    Turner
    Parker
    Collins

    Parker could also play with the closing unit and give them a third option.

    Who are you trading for him in that scenario?
