The blazers are in the (collecting/building assets) mode according to management
m.brooks (1.2m, 1.3m, 2.3m) is a very valuable asset and teams are seriously under valuing him to get a player of his production and upside locked up for 3 more seasons at such a cheap (team friendly) price is extremely hard to come by
The trailblazers should take on k.Humphries and m.brooks hell they don’t even have to give any assets up just spend cap room (hibbert aint coming so move on) and they can even take a crack at free agents in 1 year
The blazers were very impressed with Humphries after seeing him first hand last season
Aldridge and hibbert would have made a fantastic frontcourt but it aint happening so Aldridge/Humphries would still make a good frontcourt and I have heard they are interested in hickson and or e.brand (no guarantee anyway) for the frontcourt as well
n.batum/w.matthews/m.brooks would make a good trio for the SF/SG spots with batum getting about 36mins and matthews and brooks getting 30 mins each
No way do the blazers want to allow d.howard going to the lakers and being nearly unbeatable they would rather make it an eastern conference problem with howard going to the nets
The blazers have the cap room to accommodate the trade and m.brooks is awesome compensation, k.Humphries has very little interest from NBA teams as evidenced by last year having to resign for 1 season @ 8 million with the nets because no one else was interested, I am hearing only minimal interest from other teams signing Humphries (even as UFA) and only interested at 7-8 million per year, why not just offer Humphries a 1 year deal for 12million dollars (that would get him to sign) and he can have another year (he has improved for consecutive years now) to show teams he deserves a big long term deal
