Portland's upcoming UFA and RFAs Ed Davis (UFA) Jusuf Nurkic Noah Vonleh Shabazz Napier Pat Connaughton Guys they'd love to unload Meyers Leonard ($22m, two years remaining) Moe Harkless ($21m, two years remaining) Absolute Albatrosses Evan Turner ($36m, two years remaining) you're Neil Olshey, what do you do at the trade deadline? Personally I sell high on Napier, since he's basically already regressing a bit. Desperately try to unload Meyers or Moe, but who knows what that would take or who would be interested. I keep Ed Davis because he's maybe their best bench player and they can probably re-sign him for a decent price. Similarly Connaughton could be a reasonably priced role player. I have no idea what to do with Vonleh. He has looked like a good glue guy at times, but Stotts doesn't play him and they just drafted Collins and Swanigan. I dunno what they're gonna do with Nurkic. He looks basically identical to the guy who left Denver. I kinda hate his game. Wants to be a skilled big with none of the skills. Basically looks like a worse Ed Davis right now.

I didn't see it posted but the Knicks and Noah have "agreed on indefinite leave" for Noah.

El Gallinero Gros posted:The Clips just made a trade to cut money and they're hypothetically willingly taking back a bit more (35MM) than the amount they saved (34.6MM) for a fading defensive big and a shoot first PG who is putting up slightly worse numbers than the one they're giving up. My friend you may be vastly overrating Jusuf Nurkic.

If KLove gets healthy and IT starts to look good I'm not sure I'd bet against Cleveland going to the finals. LeBron is still the best player on the court in any matchup and it's not even close.

i don't really get what that trade does for Portland unless there is more involved. Vonleh is an upcoming RFA on a rookie contract. i still half believe in Vonleh too. i think he can be an OK bench guy. maybe like, Ed Davis type ceiling.

Dejan Bimble posted:Did Portland give up on Vonleh? Or is that guy whose rights they traded for good? The guy the traded for will probably never see the NBA. I'm pretty surprised this works at all in the NBA, cause they effectively traded a guy for nothing. Ghetto SuperCzar posted:They gave up on Vonleh just to dodge the luxury tax because they spent big money on: Neil Olshey is doing an acceptable job cleaning up all the poo poo he left in the bed I guess. I think he should be fired.

Ghetto SuperCzar posted:LETS GET HINKIE Olshey turned 3 first round picks into Zach Collins and Caleb Swanigan. Two guys that look an awful lot like they could be sharing the fate of guys like Meyers Leonard or Noah Vonleh in 2-3 years: riding the bench, struggling to get minutes, or traded away with dumbass Blazers fans saying poo poo like "I still think he has potential  "

WhyteRyce posted:I usually applaud teams and GMs for not having that sunk cost fallacy ruin their decision making. George Hill didn't work out and probably would have become a big issue if he was still on the team come next season. Papa John was garbage and clearly not developing the way they were hoping. Malachi is a chucker who is stuck behind two better SGs. So kudos to Vlade for recognizing his mistakes and quickly moving on. The eternal question of how much credit you should give GMs for cleaning up after their own mistakes.

Ghetto SuperCzar posted:It's hard getting excited about Swanigan or Collins when so many other players from the draft are performing better. They're like 47th and 52nd in PER for rookies, and even worse on winshares. Not going to talk poo poo on them until a year or two down the road but I do not dare get my hopes up for them. It's obviously hard to judge Biggie and Collins, but I can't shake the feeling that they are more guys who are perpetually on the cusp of putting it all together. They just have that look to me. And it's Portland's fate to collect guys like that.

EvanTH posted:"practice makes perfect but practice makes permanent" was the warning piano teachers would give to emphasize that practicing incorrectly can be hugely detrimental. It's true enough. And "SHOOT GAME SHOTS!" is a very common coach's warning. But then again I've been waiting years to see this move make its appearance in a real game: lol, piano practice is exactly what my mind went to. Thing is your piano teacher can't be around 24/7 to tell you to stop loving around screwing up the same measures over and over again in the exact same way, and break it down to practice reasonably. I assume coaching in the NBA works a lot like paying $30 an hour for piano lessons once a week.

the big mystery with fultz now is why he's allowed to practice anywhere remotely near where the media might be and why he hasn't been shipped off to an air gapped bunker gym somewhere in the middle of the desert already.

Lockback posted:Isolating and ostracizing a kid who may have anxiety issues sounds like an A+ plan. As opposed to him being ostracized by everyone else? The media around Fultz is basically in overdrive right now. Is that really better for the dude than getting out of the spotlight for a bit?
