View Poll Results: what date will the first Blazer trade be?

A Sign & Trade involving Joel is doubtful. We can only offer MLE money - he probably wants more than that.

And the Theo/Miles for Hardaway deal - I don't think can be done anymore. One, Orlando isn't known to want Theo or Miles. And two, once Orlando's season is done, I think Hardaway is a free agent, technically. Can anyone confirm?

Not only doubtful but frankly would be dumb (for the other team and Joel). We can't offer him more money then they (whoever they may be) can, and he's not restricted. Therefore, there's no reason for them to offer a sign and trade, and no reason for Joel to demand it done that way (do you think he really wants to weaken the team he just signed a long term deal to join?)

A S&T for Joel is improbable, but not totally out of the question. If the other team wants to use their MLE to sign another player and has a player that they want to move who fits the Blazers' needs, then a S&T would probably be to both teams' advantage. As for Joel, the money would be the same no matter which team's MLE was being used.

Zach, Darius, Theo, Juan and Vashon are all gone at the end of the year.

Blake/Bassy at PG
Martell / Jack at SG
Outlaw / Draft or trade
Viktor / Skinner
Joel / Draft, or trade

I doubt Blake will be moved, his shooting %'s and ball handling/assists are all improving.
If any guard moves it'll be Dixon....i wish he was 4 inches taller.

Vashon will be gone because he is a free agent.
Blake will be gone because he has a decent trade value
Joel will be gone because another team will outbid Portland for his services, or offer something seet in a S&T
