Melo to the Blazers

If you look up "oof" and "wiff" in the dictionary it just has a link to an article about this.
 
Maybe.... just maybe.... This will be the implosion we need to steal Lillad (He did say 2 ((?)) or so years ago that he would love to play for the Jazz or Lakers).
 
The Lillard idea is an interesting hypothetical.

For instance, if the Blazers completely sink this year... and they’re staring at however long that contract is, knowing it climbs to something like $50M when he’s 35, and they could get away with dumping that for a year and a half of Conley.

I don’t think I’d do that, but it’s worth asking yourself the question, especially if you ended up losing Conley for nothing summer after next. But then Dame Dolla could also be Franchise Killa with that $200M.
 
Dame's salary on the back-end of his contract is on par with the GDP of Costa Rica.

Having said that, they'll never dump him. It'll be McCollum first and I wouldn't want my fingerprints anywhere near that train wreck.

Besides, Portland's salary cap situation really isn't that bad - Nurkic is insanely underpaid and they don't have any bad/long term contracts other than CJ.
 
They need to get rid of Whiteside. Nurkic's injury really hurt them. I think they'll be fine and can still make the playoffs but I wouldn't have guessed they would have started off 4-8.
