Portland will not do this unless they are sure Fernandez is really unhappy or they realise there is no need for them. Spurs will then create a TPE which can be used to absorb players.

To answer the question presented: YES!
Not much in it for Blazers. Just because they CAN absorb the salaries, doesn't mean they'd do us a favor.
Anyway, Blazers won't have that cap space for long. They will (have to) spend a large sum of that this off season in the hopes of staying competitive. Hopefully, they overpay for Lamar!!
I'm on board with this plan now :tu
I'm not sure that they would give us Fernandez. It might be more realistic with either Martell Webster or Travis Outlaw coming back... Any of the 3 would work for me...
Parker, Hill
Duncan, McDyess, Haislip, Blair, Mahinmi
Manu, Jefferson, Hairston, (Fernandez/Outlaw/Webster)
Sign Rasho Vet Min
Sign Bowen Vet Min
Keep Williams
Assuming Webster, the roster is filled out for $77,128,718; about 2 million less than our current position.
When he said crazy I idea, I thought it would be to take the McDyess signing and turn it around into some sort of package deal to the Suns for Amare.
Now THAT would be crazy.
And no I'm not saying that that's what the Spurs should do or even if it's likely. Just saying that it's a crazy idea.
This isn't such a crazy idea and it is unlikely.
