Let's assume Olshey knows more then we do about LA and there is an outside chance we can resign him if he can work some magic.
lets look at what he's done this offseason...
Pre Draft
Shipped out a floundering batum for a solid 2-way guard (Henderson) and a lottery pick big man with potential from a year ago (Vanleh) = 3,000,000 savings
Draft
Swaps Hollis-Jefferson for a stating quality young athetic big man on a bargain contract and maybe the steal of the second round (Connaughton) = 1,000,000 savings
total cap = 41,000,000 to 45,000,000 (depending on if we cut Kaman)
we now have enough space for 2 max players and to sell lamarcus and Wesley on the moves being made for them to stay here.
we could go after...
Deandre Jordan (max contract) or absorb Roy Hibbert (Indy doesn't want him)
and then sign or absorb a sf. Maybe Demarre Carroll or crazy alert!!(he's p.o.'d about NY's offseason so far) Carmelo Anthony?
That puts us at best ...Dame - matthews - Carroll - LA - DJ with an deep, athletic wnd well rounded bench ...CJ - Henderson - Meyers - Plumlee
Then we can sell Matthews and Lamarcus on staying, we have there bird rights to go over the cap after making these player moves. plus we all know Paul Allen is happy to spend money and pay the tax for a potential title contention!
Obviously optimistic but we have the potential with a ton of cap space, a willing owner, and a savvy GM.
夹克的粉丝,你知道,作为一个粉丝和弗兰chise we're going to do everything we can to sign two historically great blazers. We have a real opportunity here for the first time in recent blazer history put together a title contending team.
first post and Go Blazers!
