There's an over 5-6 mil shortfall

Harris+Murphy = 20+ mil
Miller+Przybilla = 14+ mil

Cho would have to add Camby, Oden or Matthews (or a combination of 3 low-salaried players) to make this trade happen. I smell a multi-team deal (Cho’s specialty)

Bayless’ 2.3M trade exception can’t be included (I wonder if Rich regrets dealing Jerryd, now?)

Remember this is Jason Quick we’re hearing from…is there fire behind his smoke?

You are correct.

Quick mentioned this on 95.5 earlier tonight on Canzano’s show and specifically mentioned Greg Oden’s contract as a fit. I highly doubt we’d give up Dre, GO, and Przy for Harris and Troy Murphy. Usually fire behind his moke but Marc Spears and others are reporting the same development on twitter right now.

Wouldn't make any sense to move Oden in that deal.

Being a Blazer fan is not exactly healthy.

unless...

you’re getting brook lopez in return

Not sure how I feel about that.

He’s fallen off a bit and I don’t know if a LMA and Brooks tandem could work defensively. Oden is a great piece to add to LMA even after his style change.

There are very few players i'd be okay with getting in return for Oden

but Brook Lopez would be one of them. is he potentially worse than oden? yes. He’s also a hell of a lot more likely to be healthy. At this point i think it would be an apropriate risk/reward. He’s certainly not chopped liver by big man standrards and he’s young.

no way NJ gives us Lopez

That shortfall was what I was looking at when i heard the deal.

Doesn’t seem financially possible unless the deal was larger but even then we don’t have enough assets to fill.

This is the most basic it could be considering the demands.

Miller, Pryzbilla, Babbitt, Marks works

Jason Fleming of Hoopsworld chimes in on twitter.

He is saying that the Blazer’s would only need to add $2.5M to make this deal work and that either Babbit, Williams, or Rudy would fit. My vote would be to send Babbit.
