Trade rumor

Odd scene in Blazers' locker room: Before leaving, Festus Ezeli approached teammates and exchanged hugs/handshakes. Like he was saying bye.
4:29 PM - 14 Jan 2017

Ezeli has some serious injury issue so I don't know why anyone would trade for him, unless of course, it's to move Asik.

Gentry knows Ezeli well. Might have been begging Demps for a tougher big man.

Also speculation about Harkless not playing tonight due to a phantom injury.

Ezeli & Harkless would be an interesting pickup.

Portland has some real defensive issues. Could see them wanting defenders like Hill and Asik, maybe we throw in Frazier

If this happens I weill ******** my pants with excitement.

I honestly think it is a serious injury and he need to retire or end his season.
Not a trade.

A lot of Ezeli's teammates don't like him.

Even if Ezeli never plays again, stretching Ezeli in the offseason = $2.5 million for 3 years compared to stretching Asik at $3.5 million for 7 years.

Ezeli's 2nd year is only 1mil guaranteed I've found out. Essentially hes expiring or gets healthy and is a bargain big.

If we can salary dump Asik do it three times fast

If Portland's defense is as bad as everyone's been saying, they could be interested in taking a flyer on Asik.
Something like Asik for Ezeli's contract + Ed Davis or Vonleh. We might have to throw in a second rounder, but it'd be worth it to clear up that cap space and move on from the failed experiment. And then find a way to trade/stretch/buy-out Ajinca and his contract, too.

.......make it happen Loomis?
