And the first shoe drops. Man, I don't think I like that for Portland at all. Keon is okay, I think he dropped a bit more than he should have, but... seems kind of weak.

Seems really good for LAC.

Huh, that's seems a little light unless the Blazers are really high on Keon.

I feel vindication for suggesting the Blazers should trade Powell instead of CJ, but then when I see how little they got I feel like I was still really wrong.

This feels incredibly light and shows that Powell was being overvalued by us considerably.

Clippers are conceding nothing and Ballmer will spend and spend and spend.

And Dame has to be more on the table than ever.

Wow that seems light for Portland. They must really like Keon.

Agreeing that based off evaluations around here it seems quite light for Portland and good for LAC.

now trade me Kennard since you have Powell. You know you want to.

But yeah congrats. This feels great heading into next season.

For anyone curious, according to the ESPN trade machine yes this does get Portland out of the tax.

I believe this just gets Portland out of the tax. But Bledsoe's dead 4m and Winslow's useless 4m next year make this not great re cap imo.

I guess I was wrong to include a 1st in a trade idea for Norm and Covington. Wow. Love this for the Clippers.

I'm going to go ahead and predict the eventual poll is highly in LAC's favor ha.

Great job for the Clippers. I guess getting off of Powell's money matter a lot for Portland? Still feels like a weird deal for them. You'd think this deal could have gotten done minus the Powell/Bledsoe swap.
