    I think we all knew deep down we couldn't keep all five of them. Olshey just traded the one who underperformed the worst last year. That kind of harsh realism is needed.

    Interesting that Neil does not comment on the new guys we just got, only on Nic.

    Also interesting how they mention Vonleh's name first

    So we're shooting for being almost as good as last season for a lot more money?

    Surprised at how far Batum's value has fallen. The guy almost got a triple double a couple of times last season.

    It would be pretty impossible to take on all the players that give the Raptors fits.

    I don't think it's just that. I believe Olshey doesn't want to be the team that gives him $16mil per when his contract needs to reup

    IMO really 3 ways to look at this.
    One is Aldridge is gone and boom rebuild.
    Another is the Blazers struggled when Freeland wasn't there to spell Aldridge for minutes for two straight years now. Can't rely on Freeland to avoid nagging injuries and Vonleh is being brought into back up Aldridge. Not saying Vonleh is on par with Freeland in contribution... But hopefully he doesn't miss half the season like Freeland did.
    Last one is theres going to be another trade involving Vonleh.

    Getting no pick back doesn't really bother me. Batum's value had fallen off a cliff. As was stated previously the NBA is the mistress of the French National team.

    I don't really know either of those players. But I'm glad Nic's ass is gone after his disappearing act last year. No, I take that back, disappearing would have been BETTER than what he did. He says in a public interview that he wasn't rested enough, yet he is still playing euro-ball this summer. Fuck off Nic Batum, you pussy.

    Dude, I just googled "vonleh" and his wikipedia page has already been updated saying he plays for the Portland Trailblazers.

    A lot of board members here don't like him. But some fan boys love to make excuses for him.

    When #Blazers traded for Maynor, Robinson, Lopez, Afflalo, news releases had Olshey talking up new guys. Makes today's release curious.

    i know its a stretch but i feel like this might have some legs
