    Easy to root for. Hopefully he gets a chance.

    Do not fret. He once “was” a legit prospect as you wish.

    But he is no longer a legit prospect.

    He fits with Stotts offense he can hit the 3 and especially the corner 3. He got good handles he also can take guy off the dribble. Big key he is a good rebounder from PF position. I feel he might be the key of this trade.

    This guy is intriguing.
    6'9.25 in shoes
    7'1 wingspan
    9'1 standing reach
    Good shooting stroke
    Athleticism
    Ball handling ability

    I mean, this guy looks like a far more complete and versatile player than any of our forwards. I could see him coming in and outplaying Little and Hezonja.

    Also, giving his size, he's probably more suited to play C then Swanigan (god I can't believe Swanigan is a Blazer again).

    Just like any trade someone majority get thrown in to make the trade go through.

    Can they waive Caleb? He's at 2 million and the last year of the contract. Kind of doubt he will be in the league at all next year?

    Id be surprised if he was still here after the deadline. If he is and the blazers need a spot, he’d be first to go imo.

    Neil drafted him in the first round, never developed him, dumped him, traded good players to get him back...

    Wouldnt make sense to cut him now unless they needed the roster spot, but yeah, let him walk after this year. He's not an NBA player.
