Portland - 2016 Offseason

[DusterBuster]

Stein says Hassan has agreed with Dallas.

It's a fake Stein. That it was retweeted by actual reporters makes me laugh. This is Stein's real account:

Yeah, I just looked at his profile pic, decent fake.

Chortling at Mozgov 4/65 potentially.

Seeing the Lakers about to have Mozgov as their big summer signing improves my mood a bit lol.

Blazers offering Chandler a max deal. Back to feeling terrible. Per Woj on Verticle Live Stream.

sounds like time for another drink?

I just can't figure out how both Stotts and Olshey talked about the #1 priority was gettig better on defense and they go after Chandler....those two things don't match

[DusterBuster]

Lol at Yahoo openly making fun of NBA Free Agency rules....



Ticker was saying NBA League looking into how so many teams had meetings scheduled well before deadline.

I feel like you're in this scenario right now:

[DusterBuster]

This is the darkest timeline.

My feeling on trying to get excited about the Parsons sweepstakes....

[The Sebastian Express]

Whoo. At least we aren't the Lakers. Mozgov at 4/64.

[DusterBuster]

4yr/64mil for Mozgov from the Lakers. Done deal, back to being happy.

Prediction: Chandler Parsons signs contract, recruits Dwight Howard to the Blazers. /offseason

well, I'm an optimist. Blazers wine and dine Chandler, end up a "close 2nd" to [who cares? Memphis?] and sign mediocre role players that overachieve thanks to Stotts.

I like your optimism, Fitz!

Prediction: Chandler Parsons signs contract, recruits Dwight Howard to the Blazers. /offseason

As long as we improve at center I will be happy.

Now if your prediction is accurate two questions arise
1) Do we resign Harkless?
2) Assuming we resign Harkless what do we do with Aminu?

As much as it sucks, cause I'm a huge Harkless fan, I think they're moving on from him

Parson's is a poor man's Batum. Very discouraging free agency start

yeah, but Batum would have cost the max to retain, unlike Parsons who only cost the max to obtained.. while recovering from an injury.. and then we wouldn't have Henderson, who is likely not going to be retained..

[LicketyBrindle]

Let's go and make getting an average wing player a priority. Because, of course, we don't already have a bunch of those already. Now we could have another on a max deal.

For us to do this with Parsons I think shows that we have info that we aren't getting Whiteside or Howard.

[Run PDX]

Parsons at $23M seems fair if Mozgov can get $16M a season... Unfortunately.
