Thunder also get rights to Giorgio Printezis from Portland

Edit: I'm not making this a 3 way, because it essentially wasn't and instead starting another for Brewer:

Knicks traded Ronnie Brewer to the Thunder for a future 2nd round pick.

No poll until word of what its for, but interesting landing spot for him as a backup to Lillard.

I believe it's just a trade exception. Either way, win for the Blazers since they now have seven NBA caliber players.

[DusterBuster]

Might be getting a 2nd rounder too. Either way, this is what I've been saying Maynor's value is for awhile. He never had the crazy value RealGM claimed.

[HartfordWhalers]

Yeah, it needs to be for something, but sounds like it might be a top 55 2nd. If so, decent pick up but not sure why OKC needed to trim the salary versus just keeping the insurance.

[DusterBuster]

Blazers will probably waive Elliot Williams to make room.

I knew blazers would pull out some nonsensical trade.

Surrender a minor asset for a player that has at least five equivalents in the d-league.
And of course, the Pargo's weren't good enough, but Maynor is.

Bet they won't waive their 3-4 futile players either in favor of d-league talent.
Theres good front offices and there's bad front offices, just reality.

Have u seen what Presti is doing with these picks ?

Money saved is money in the owner pocket. If I can essentially be a million dollars richer by cutting my 3rd string PG why not. If needed and somebody gets hurt , FAs out there that can give you what Maynor gave you for cheaper

So ignore everything you all have posted in here. The Maynor trade yielded the trade exception that OKC sent to NYK for Brewer. Pretty solid I think. Gives them some depth at SF.

EDIT: OKC also got rights to a Euro from Portland. Don't know anything about him.

Reptile is relieved to learn the red and whites kept pick(s).

[deanwoof]

okc traded maynor for brewer.

you're telling me portland didn't couldn't get ronnie brewer for that same trade exception? brewer is sort of kind of better than maynor.

[RoyalWun]

The only thing I DONT understand this from Portland's POV is why give any assets for somebody they will probably waive (cap hold)? We are trying to preserve as much cap space as possible and his cap hold is going to put a dent in those plans.

[DusterBuster]

Price is the player who's going to be waived according to reports in Portland, not Williams.

Also, according to a beat writer from OKC, Portland didn't trade any picks, all they send out was the TPE.
