More evidence of the tanking value of big men in the NBA. Dedmon was just traded for mere garbage. I'm not saying Dedmon is great, I call him dead money. He is like the mediocre big men from the past that used to get huge money. Also, McGee exercisd a player option to accept a mere $4.2M.

Kanter and Millsap would be offseason over. Need some bigs in the worst way. I think Kanter provided more than whiteside did.

Blazers are still 1 or 2 big men short of a full roster. I am hoping for something better than Whiteside, or re-signing Whiteside.

I would prefer Millsap and Taj Gibson. Nurk, Collins, Millsap, and Gibson would give us solid rebounding and awesome defense.

Add RoCo, Melo, and GTJ to the above-mentioned frontline, our team is complete. Hood or a replacement is icing on the cake.

TE- I like the idea of Bjelica from the Kings. We have made plenty of deals with them, they have a new GM tho. I would give up a future 2nd if we have one and that TE for him.

Kanter I liked when he was here. If the TE was used on him that wouldnt be the worst.

MLE- I think Millsap fits in here pretty nice. His age doesnt bother me. I would love Gallo, but I just dont feel like we have a shot. Montrezl Harrell could be a possibility.

I would love for Portland to get Randle from NY. I like Bobby Portis and i think he’s going to be a free agent.
Here’s to hoping we see the deepest Portland team in years come together in the next few days
BALL DON'T LIE.

I like Gallo as a Melo replacement if we lose Melo. I would rather keep Melo, if possible. I don't want both players. It would make our defense too slow on the wings.

I also like Millsap, Harrell, and Kanter. Favors would be my top choice. Taj Gibson would be good and maybe cheaper.

I don't like Portis or Randle at all. I don't see any value added by Bjelica, if we have Melo. He wouldn't get a sniff of PT on our team.
