What's new

You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Today I feel we should get Julius Randle. He is a high end talent that plays hard and is a freaking man on the court. He would add more offense to the team and even started shooting the 3 this year (.344). I know his defense isn't good, but he is such a dog on the court that I bet he could improve. Let's add some talent and grit.

Leonard doesn't make us better in any meaningful way and will cost $11m. Consensus amongst Blazers fans is that he's a nice guy, but lacks basketball instincts and is simply not very good on court.

He’s not good... but is a serviceable backup... I’d take him if we got a first too. Another example of why you don’t pay bigs unless they are elite.

We could seem to get Leonard. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ady-make-biggest-commitment-franchise-history

"The Blazers may try to ease their salary situation by moving Meyers Leonard, who's had some moments in these playoffs, but they've been trying that one for years now and no one has been too interested."

To me, he is like Olynyk. Both are guys I would trade for should we lose Favors.

I should’ve known this was coming. Lol, Leonard has one good game and now we can count him on the long list of players LoPo wants to trade for. Yesterday @LoPo said he wanted to resign Favors to a 12million $ a year deal, now he wants to bring in a bench warmer at 11million a year. LoPo has an impulse problem

I guess you don't read real good now do you?

I said if we lose Favors. If we don't get a quality backup for Gobert, I have concerns.

When I mention a player, that doesn't mean that player is the priority. It also doesn't mean that I would give a bunch of assets for said player. All I'm saying is that I could see us having interest in Leonard depending on how everything shakes out.

I wanted to come in here and talk **** about aquiring Meyers Leonard and if you just look at his PPG apg and RPG then he his numbers are not good.

But his efficiency is insanely good.
63% from 2 point range, 45% from 3, 84% from the line, true shooting percentage of 68%, efg 65%. Dude can flat out shoot. Depending on cost we should definitely at least look into it.

His rebounds and assists per 36 are quite good and if he took more shots and had any close to his efficiency then his scoring would be good.
26 years old. Makes 11 million. 7 feet tall, 255 pounds and pretty mobile.

Plus he is white

Tony Jones suggested that Brooklyn might trade us Dinwiddie for a pick if they know they are getting Kyrie... Use $10M of our space to take him in. He said it in terms of keeping Favors and addressing other needs.

I like the idea... If I could get it done I'd still waive Favors and do something else with the money.
 
If we miss on Tobias and Kemba I'm looking hard at bringing in Rudy Gay or JaMychal Green. Green is really intriguing to me. Could provide the stretch and switchy big defender... curious if he could play some backup 5 (maybe in the playoffs when things go small). I also think he is very gettable in the $7-9M range.

I think we could trade for Conley at that point using part of our space and Crowder or Exum plus a pick and Bradley... might have to include Allen (I think he still has value).
 
Oh man, Leonard is terrible at 11M. Just ask Blazers fans. He has underachieved for so many season (he is just soft, lacks commitment) and now people want him because he had some good games. On the other hand, as Handlogten pointed out, Dwindie would be a perfect fit. I'm wondering what it would take to get him

I just had a thought that I'm pretty sure is wrong, but I think it is a hot take so imma go with it. I have professed my love for Alex Caruso in the past... Alex is the next Spencer Dinwiddie. Both are bigger pgs... Spencer has a longer wingspan. Both have had questionable facial hair choices. People would laugh at you a few years ago if you said Spencer was worth 15-20M a year... Laugh at Alex now but I think he could be a really good option to steal on the cheap.

I’m in love with Alex Caruso (at the room MLE or less).
