PORTLAND/BOSTON IDEA: Thomas Robinson +Meyers Leonard for Brandon Bass

[chambers]

Portland needs bench help desperately.
T Rob and Leonard are both underachievers but they're both young, and both recent lottery picks.

Bass ($6.75 million)
for
Thomas Robinson (3.5 million)
&
Meyers Leonard (2.5 million).

Saves us 1 million per year & they both have team options in 2015.

Have posted this elsewhere and Blazers fans seem okay with it.

We could then have a big rotation of Sully,Leonard,Robinson, Vitor and Olynyk.
Great trade assets with upside & expiring at the end of next season.

Can someone call Ainge now and tell him this is good to go?

^^ I like Leonard as a kid that's hardworking & doesn't afraid to get physical and put a body on his man

but Bass really step it up this season, he's our leading rebounder most of the games and he's a threat in mid-range and very good 1-1 defensive player... so I'm looking to sell high on Bass

There was a topic with a trade like that before

I'm also waiting to sell high (or at least a bit higher ) on Bass, which has a good chance to happen nextseason. I'm not a believer in Robinson, Leonard maybe could become something a little better.
