_____

Motive:

portland
in need of young wings
lower costs & open time for wing development
-
memphis
seeking a perfect fit next to JJJ
grab a vet they can slot in perfectly & re-up at a lower cost following this year
-
milwaukee
lacking depth & in need of a change
fill some holes, play more uptempo & add some D

I don’t like it for Portland. Downgrade in talent, lose a roster spot thus trade flexibility, and have a 3 year contract for Konchar who likely gets buried on the bench. Blazers save a small amount now, which current money is no longer an issue, but have us taking more money overall long term. You have to believe in Beauchamp developing for this to make sense, and I’m not sold. I’d rather trade Thybulle for 1 player and a couple of 2nds.

Pass for POR. No incentive to trade Thybulle for a reserve and a mediocre prospect.

For Memphis this was a possible deal before the draft. Now we´ll roll with Edey
