Back to Turning The Corner™ here in Portland. Vuc is killing it and can shoot 3s now, so he's looking like a great re-sign target. I was going to have to start paring down my roster anyway which has a few players on the chopping block. It just so happens that Taurean and Lonnie are the first up to bat. Good dealin'!

[Philadelphia 76ers]

I accept. I’m afraid Vuc is killing it right now in a contract year and his fit would be unsure if he were to be traded.

Prince and walker are two guys I wanted to draft but wasn’t able to, now I finally get them and some cap space.

[Dallas Mavericks]

I like this trade for Philly (two second rounders and two promising prospects, hell yeah!) and can see sort of why Porty does this. Porty does have a lot of obvious resigns in the next period (Lonzo Ball, Lauri Markannen, and Triple Trae) but he really doesn't have anyone to resign this period so Vuc makes some sense, even though I'm not a believer. Sort of surprised Porty gave up Lonnie Walker so early.

I approve.

[Minnesota Timberwolves]

I approve. I think I made like seventeen offers on Vucci, about half of them in earnest, and none of them were this good. Well done Philly. I like him as a re-sign, which is a thing Portland can actually do, so I can see why they went higher. I don’t see how Blazers can be turning this many corners unless they’re wandering some kind of labyrinth, though.
