In other words, hopefully, by trade or FA signing? The return for Davion and Sasha and pick 45 is who we get from the next move…is that correct?
Welcome Jalen McDaniels

Pretty much.
All my sources say McDaniels makes $4.7M, not $3M. Sasha and Davion made $13M+.
At this point I expect another shoe to drop

We used the BAE for Sasha last year so it’s we don’t have that. MLE is fully available though

even after turning things around to close the season. It was probably either move him now or let him expire

Both Mitchell and Vezenkov had little value. The Sasha experiment was a swing and a miss. Will be interesting to see if he gets anything going in Toronto, but I wouldn't bet on it
Jalen (no, not that one) McDaniels was a horror show in his year in Toronto. Unplayable. Hopefully we at least get Charlotte McDaniels.

I think at the very least we can use the MLE for a wing in FA.

Obviously a dump. I get it. Wish we could’ve atleast kept our pick for tonight since I didn’t think the last year of Davion’s rookie contract was a massive burden and he’s playable.
Jalen McDaniels fits the mold of a player we need…but similar to Edwards I don’t suspect he’ll play much for us. Maybe he’s the new last 15 seconds of the quarter defensive sub.

To be fair, pretty much everyone looked terrible in Toronto last season. Even the good players they wound up trading looked bad before looking great for their new teams.

bottom line is don't expect much

shooters always have some level of value. Certainly not negative value which is where we are at currently with this trade.
I’m guessing Monte wants “optionality” in the MLE market but if he can’t sign his target(s) this is bad asset management.
as far as 45 goes, I don’t think there will be many good prospects left but at least one will slip through the cracks. We really need a developmental piece or two on the roster. Our cupboards are pretty bare in that regard.

That’s basically a first. Gross.

Maybe Monte was really high on the Blazers’ draft class?

Well, time for the annual "let's get upset about trading a 2nd round pick even though those guys rarely if ever even crack a bench rotation spot in the NBA" complaints!
We all knew Davion was gonna go after the Carter pick, which looks like an instant upgrade. Sasha didn't work out last season and there was already smoke about him grumbling or considering a return to Europe.
This is not a needle mover in either direction but helps to clear out the guard logjam that everyone was bellyaching about yesterday.

Colby Jones is definitely still a good developing piece,... but isn't a longer wing
It just keeps getting worse. We keep adding more stuff to dump useful players.

He’s 6’5”/6’6” and played almost exclusively at the wing whenever he got minutes with the main team last season.

Monte better get his guy, there are teams out there trying to get value in the 2nd rd, especial in the new CBA. But Monte said **** it.
