Rodney Hood opts out

[DusterBuster]

I’m keeping an eye on Jaymichal Green (spelling wrong), Blazers showed previous interest in him. That’s assuming they can’t swing big for Millsap.

[PDXKnight]

Blazers quietly having a nice offseason. Basically bringing back the WCF squad from 18/19 while replacing Aminu with RoCo is a move I’ll take every day... plus still a MLE to work with. If they can get Millsap, this will be a strong strong squad of everyone stays healthy.

I kinda think we see Covington as a Pf based on our history of using small PF’s. I would suspect crowder would be our top target

> Pretty hard to prove that stuff if the only people that have direct knowledge of it are Rodney Hood and Neil Olshey. Very easy to keep something like that a secret, when only two people on earth know it ever happened.

... and Hood's agent. That's three people with a potential axe to grind somewhere down the road, or to mouth off to the wrong person after drinking too much. I suspect that any "promises" were of a very general nature.

Isn't that how TPups got caught and ruined their franchise? Larry Smith fired his agent so the agent ratted Smith and the TPups out.

Edit: It isn't worth it.

Aminu was the Blazers PF for those teams. I always considered Harkless the 3, but admittedly, they were pretty interchangble. PF's and SF's are basically the same thing in today's NBA.

Aminu played PF here but his floor game is better than Harkless's. They were both PF's in skillset inside a SF body.

Melo has one of the best floor games. Melo has SF skillset in a PF body.

A GM having a handshake deal like this one, doesn't seem unheard of to me. Maybe it's never happened, but would it surprise anyone, considering how tight to the vest Olshey has been? It's really no different than a GM making a player a draft promise in that, it's a deal based on trust and honor.

I've been more or less mummified on this board the last 4-5 years, there was a Pupgate?!?

OHHH YOU mean the Wolves. Ok. I'm an idiot, I thought you were referring to the guy who always had the inside scoop, our "Woj" if you will. Thought he was TBPup or something really close.

Oh, no. I have always called Wolves the TPups. A lot of people here used to call them that.
