fair point. I guess I’m underwhelmed with Wood and Green, who are supposed to be our best two prospects. Clearly there value across the league is poor. If those guys don’t pan out all we really do have is our picks. That’s not a good place to be; we’ll be two years into our rebuild at the end of the season. We don’t have anyone who is worth building around (I do like Sengun and Christopher but they aren’t close to prospects like Halliburton.)
Cap space can be used for other things than max players. They are going to have high picks and short contracts to make trades. You are right that Blazers aren’t a free agent destination but they put themselves in a good position to rebuild. Like most teams, they’ll need a bit of luck.
The funniest thing about the Sactown trade to me is Morey could have robbed the Kings so bad but he got greedy and asked for both Fox and Halliburton like an idiot and wanted them to take back Harris contract. He could’ve taken either one of them and then everything else from the Kings. Morey has fallen off a cliff since leaving Houston. You already have a franchise star, just do your job and get him the support he needs.
This was my fear. But keeping Turner makes no sense for a rebuilding team especially when the team has a younger cheaper player already on roster who plays very similarly. Still think Turner is on the table, Pacers are tearing it all down.
I'm all for trading Wood. For the right return. Trading him just to trade him for a low FRP and garbage salary is not a positive trade.
Fox is that dude... You trippin!... Fox is a closer and will now that he has an actual NBA lineup around him
Sorry bro, I see you’re disappointed but we simply didn’t have the chips. Sabonis >> Wood Justin Holiday >> Green They’re probably thinking to fight NO for the play-in
