POR-CHI

[Portland TrailBlazers]

We, the Portland Trailblazers, are regretful to part ways with Meyers and Nicolas, but the direction our franchise is headed towards diverges from theirs. However, we see great potential in Mario Hezonja and are willing to take on the veteran talents in Taj Gibson and Kyle Korver to mentor our young core.

Chicago gets dramatic cap relief in Batum's expiring while getting youth in the Laker's picks and Meyers Leonard.

Portland gets a dynamic and talented forward in Mario Hezonja while eating the bulky contracts of Gibson + Korver.

Chicago Receives:
Nicolas Batum        13.20
Meyers Leonard       3.10  4.20
LAL 2017 1st
LAL 2017 2nd

Total:                  16.30 4.20

Portland Receives:
Mario Hezonja         2.00 2.10 2.10 2.80 3.90
Taj Gibson              8.50 9.00
Kyle Korver             5.70 5.20

Total:                   16.20 16.30 2.10 2.80 3.90

EDIT: Forgot to include the 2nd Laker's pick.

Receiving a team with a major cap problem. I set a goal to rid the franchise of the problem. Without picks in 2016, I looked to not only solve the cap problem but gain a veteran shooting guard in Batum and youth in Meyers Leonard as well as a look to the future in 2017 in which the Bulls will be able to get 2 extra picks.
