I think they just said Jack was also in that potential deal. Don't know if I like that...

Dont know how that would work. Would give us too many players under contract.

Portland only has 11 guys under contract.

ProudBFan

Dont know if I like that. That would make it Miller, Korver, and the #12 for Zach and Jack. Doesnt seem like we would be getting equal value back, even if you count the pick.

Besides, MM and Canzano both indicated that the pick the Blazers have targeted in this deal is better than the #12. Seattle has #2, and Atlanta has #3. Who currently has #4 - #12 that are not in the Northwest Division AND who need a low-post scoring threat? THOSE seem to be the potential trade partners here.

Yea, if Jack is in the trade I don't do it.

11 players.

No Ime, no Outlaw, no Magloire.

Don't you mean:

Hear no evil, see no evil, plays no defense?

Miller's not a bad player, certainly better than any PG on the Blazers right now, a bit older though, but Korver... great 3Pt shooter, but his defense and passing abilities aren't that impressive, and I'm not sold on him as being a real starter. Adding the pick, is it enough for Zach and Jarrett?

Why does it matter, though? We could have a hundred people under contract until the seasons starts, if I understand the rules correctly.

A player like Dickau could be waived with little lost other than some of Allen's millions, or contracts could be retained through the summer in case a deal pops up where they might have some value...

This is a terribe rumor. If we could get Jack for 11, which is better than 12...why on earth would you deal Zach for Dre and Korver? Korver is good at 3's, but we already have Martel who is young and will get open looks with Oden down low. Dre Miller isn't much better than Jarret is right now.....bah humbug.
