I'm wondering, IIRC Reath is on a minimum deal and it prior CBA's a team trading for a minimum contract didn't have to send a player back. That may have changed in the new CBA


Except the trade proposal has the Blazers sending Reath AND a SRP, not the other way around.

Thanks for your feedback guys!

Can you tell me more about Duop? You’ve seen him more than me. MIN really only has one center on its roster, since Naz (and Luka Garza) have slimmed down to find minutes, expecting KAT to eat all the back up center minutes. Naz specifically is probably down from the pudgy 270 when he entered the league to 230, and he’s just a big wing. What MIN needs is a legitimate back up center who can play those minutes when Gobert rests, or misses games.

You saw Reath last year. Does he have enough overall game to play center in that role, on a possible contender? He doesn’t have to be great at anything, but he needs to be competent enough that he doesn’t always get attacked on both sides of the court. Is he a top 31-60 NBA center?

Nah, IMO. No disrespect meant to Reath, but he is basically a try-hard defensively who will log blocks, steals, and rebounds without being a real difference maker, and a guy who looks passable on offense only because he stays out of the way and just takes wide open shots -- an archetype which is likely unplayable in the postseason.

Other fans may have a different view. I admit I saw very little of him, but that was my impression.

I am reaching the and anything stage when it comes to Simons, just trade him. That guy will never be a major part of a winning team.

Wait, are you saying you think MIN needs to add a 2nd to their #27 pick to get Duop Reath?

Or did you not cross out 2027 meaning there’s a 1st coming back? (Shannon for some future prot 1st, 2nd for Reath)?

Wait a minute, where did this come from? This is the first I have ever heard of this, except maybe the LAST 300 days in a row, 5 times a day.

Well done coach, you got it all figured out. Have you floated your resume to Jodi to be coach/gm/talent evaluator/owner? With 781 posts in a year one might say you are the chucker of this board. :lol:

You're a low-quality poster who brings almost no interesting points to any conversation on here and you just attack posters you doesn't agree with.

It's better reading this board when I can just skim over your posts.

Now back to that as I've already wasted too many posts interacting with you.

You would rather just read TRADE SIMONS, TRADE GRANT, TRADE AYTON, F*CK CRONIN, AND JODI everyday x10? Well good for you?

Why on earth we didn't trade our vets is increasingly looking silly. Grant's stock has absolutely plummeted.
