We don't have to swap anything for Ezeli: he is a UFA. or do you mean swap Plumlee and Vonleh for two firsts to clear space for Ezeli? Don't like that idea either . I think Portland values Plumlee just as much as Ezeli; they have different skill sets and they want them both. I think Portland wants to get Ezeli for the 9 million, maybe can sharply escalate after the first year.
Hopefully our new GM @Mediocre Man will be able to trade him for multiple picks or other compensation at that time.
With a name like mediocre man, i think ill keep my chances with olshey turning this around. The name mediocre man doesnt exactly inspire confidence.
