Blazers/Heat

[TMurphy3]

Heat Trade:
1st (MIA)
2nd (MIA)

Blazers Trade:
Jasson Preston 0.8/0.8
Bojan Bogdanovich 12.4/12.4
*Blazers cover 6.2m this year only 

Heat cut Preston and take full 1M cap hit this year.
Also cut BJ Boston to create the roster spot, full 1M cap hit this year. 

Heat confirm.  Feels like I’m one key player short of really contending and Bojan fills a positional need, as well as, a production one.  He probably gets traded, but has a good track record of putting up points everywhere he goes so banking his stats don’t take too big a hit. Thanks to the blazers for the smooth talks.

Blazers confirm.

As previously stated, we aren’t sure we can seriously compete with the way our roster is constructed.  AD is great when he’s on the court, however keeping him on the court is the issue.  I think the added cap flexibility next year with the pending FA class, and/or draft picks will benefit the Blazers in the long run.  If AD and Judah miraculously shape into form down the stretch, we may still have a shot at competing this year by using the added draft capital at the deadline.

Thanks Murph and good luck!  Just happy, you’ve moved EAST!
