Why did Bobby Marks mention that in his segment? Throws out a 4 yr, 50 million deal to "keep an eye out for." I would love that deal given what guys like Malik Beasley got. And no immediate tax implications since it would kick in next season.
I'm not worried about Gary, I want him extended but if not let him test the market, he's restricted. We have the final decision.
I think 4/50ish is a max contract for Trent, since he is a second round pick there are more restrictions on the contract he can get. Maybe it's part of a revised Gilbert Arenas provision. Someone more up to date on the current CBA maybe can confirm exactly... but thats what I recall hearing at the start of the bubble; his max was around only 50mil.
I don't think that's true. He has a 3rd season left on this contract so an extension signed now would start in his 4th season. That would put his max at 25% of the cap but I don't know the CBA well enough to say that's right
I would agree, if it was just those 8 games they were judging this one. But as Lab said, he was solid for about 2 months prior to that.
Contract seasons can be tricky.....I remember when we thought Alan Crabbe was worth a big payday and Nic Batum.....Trent should get an offer from us but not a huge offer. Hopefully he will want to stick in Portland
Trent is very different to Crabbe, obviously a much better Basketball Player but he also has that dog in him. He's like a Pitbull
His stats were fine, but I really don't think he came into his own on defense until the bubble. Those 8 games showed me he could actually be a 3&D player that I'd want to pay 13 million a year to.
I agree but he is also playing for a contract....my example was Crabbe did the same....got paid after his rookie deal for a good season...and I think Trent is a keeper...just not at a huge price tag given our roster and cap
I could see him maybe agreeing to a two year with the second as an option. I think he will want a chance to start somewhere if he continues excel.
My hope is he sees himself as the heir to the Blazers next starting core when Dame is past his prime...
