Hey, welcome to the forums.

As of right now, I think if the Sixers were trying to work a trade with someone, the moment they throw Aaron McKie aboard the trade instantly dies. He's got a bad contract, and his career is in freefall mode.

And about the other deal, I think with the Blazers looking to cut salary, they're probably going to hold onto Rahim until after the season. If the NVE experiment doesn't work for them, they have Van Exel's, Stoudamire's and Rahim's contract coming off the books giving them a ton of room...

Which I believe would put them under the cap, and would put them in direct competition for us over Dalembert next offseason.

I still do not want to include Korver in any trade that doesnt bring us back a deep threat jump shooter. Im not saying we are a championship contender, but besides this past season with the Pistons every championship team has had a game stretching and changing 3 point shooter

I actually looked at this the other day, and I really don't think Portland is going to end up with much cap room. Even if all they do between now and next offseason is re-sign Darius Miles and Zach Randolph and add their 2005 first round pick they will only have about $5 Million in cap room, and with that they'll have to sign a center and a backup center/point guard with Ratliff, NVE and Damon expiring.

Portland is so far over the cap, Damon's $16 Million, Theo's $11 Million, NVE's $12 Million and Abdur-Rahim's $14.6 Million all coming off the books still doesn't give them much room.

Derek Anderson: 2005-2006 Salary- $9,093,000
Ruben Patterson: 2005-2006 Salary- $6,353,200
Trenton Hassell: Estimated 2005-2006 Salary- $4,000,000
Darius Miles: Estimated 2005-2006 Salary- $5,700,000
Zach Randolph: Estimated 2005-2006 Salary- $12,500,000
Sebastian Telfair: 2005-2006 Salary- $1,676,280
Viktor Khryapa: 2005-2006 Salary- $1,095,960
Travis Outlaw: 2005-2006 Salary-$901,800
Sergei Monia : 2005-2006 Salary-$848,000
2005 NBA Draft Pick(1st Rounder)- Estimated $1,200,000
_____________________________________________
Estimated Total Salary for 2005-2006 Blazers(Also Assuming they let go of Qyntel Woods, declining the team option, if not add another $2 Million): $43,368,240

Estimated Salary Cap in 2005-2006: $45.8 Million

$45.8 Million - $43.37 Million($45 Million if they keep Woods)= $2,431,760 cap room

That leaves Portland with $2.43 Million dollars to find a center as well as fill various other holes. The point I'm making is that all these expiring contracts isn't going to just help the team when they come off the books by magically transforming into loads of cap space and good players. Portland would have about $2.4 Million to fill several holes if they keep their core of good young players together(Randolph and Miles), and even if that worked out ideally they'd still be losing Damon, Van Exel, Abdur-Rahim and Ratliff.

You're right, you're right. Some reason I was thinking Randolph came in 2002 draft, which would allow the Blazers some room under the cap. That Trenton Hassell contract doesn't help much of anything either.

Agreed, I don't like the Hassell signing at all.

The new trade for Portland was

Big Dog
Marc Jackson

for

Rahim
Woods

gives portland expiring contracts and a good young back up center.

I really doubt Portland would take on Marc Jackson's contract, he's not good defensively, he's injury prone, and he's 29 years old. I think the Blazers under old management *might* do it, but I doubt they will, they will probably get more attractive offers for Rahim because even if he holds out, they can just hold him until his contract comes off the books at the end of the season, if they so choose.
