If anyone for the Blazers is even considering trading away Batum for anything they should have their head examined. We just traded away our best one-on-one defender in Webster. This team will never win a playoff series next year if they trade away their 2nd best one-on-one defender.

Correct on all accounts.

That disqualifies you as having an opinion worthy of anything. What part of the playoffs did you miss this Spring? Did you not see that anyone who's opinion is worthy of anything praised Martell Webster as being the best defender the Blazers had on the Court, including Nicolas Batum? Just...

Nate's only opposition in the Blazer organization was Kevin Pritchard. Pritchard's gone. Nate will be here for another 5 years.

For everyone who was espousing Gomes' great talent after the trade, here's to you being wrong. If he had such great talent, he'd be kept on the roster, as money isn't an issue with Paul Allen. He burps $10M when he gets up in the morning. We are now a lesser team without Martell Webster...

Re: Now that Pritchard's gone does anyone honestly think there will be a "real" trade Yes. While everyone else has rumors about free agency signings and trades, the Blazers only rumor is about Danny Ferry. How's that working for you, all of you kool-aid drinking Blazer fans?

Re: Now that Pritchard's gone does anyone honestly think there will be a "real" trade Let us hope you're right. But, again, to be fair to the new regime, I can't think of anything this team needs right now. I can't see a reason to make a trade. It's hard to find players that mix well with Roy.

Re: Now that Pritchard's gone does anyone honestly think there will be a "real" trade Wow. Try a little common sense before typing. Marcus Camby was a trading coup. We got ourselves a great Center who's willing to play alongside of Oden. It was "The Perfect Trade" for the Blazers. Also...

Re: Now that Pritchard's gone does anyone honestly think there will be a "real" trade Of course, it's not like there's anything left to do in order to put a Championship team together. At least not in the next 3 seasons. Players just need to play, such as Oden, Batum, Bayless and Camby. If...

Good Luck, Martell! Minnesota's going to love having you there. With Kevin Love and some of the other young talent there, your "veteran" presence will help them out a lot. Your excellent Defense is sorely needed there.

:clap:

Can PA and Miller redeem themselves this week? NO!

Pritchard is the guy who made everything happen. Every other person involved in the Blazers will be too chicken (like most GM's) to do anything. Everyone will be too afraid they will make a mistake and be fired. As a result, the Marcus Camby trade will end up being the last good trade...

No, thanks, Paul Allen. I wish he'd sell the team. We were good before you got here. We don't need you.

I'll just say that I like Babbit's shot. I've seen a lot better, though. It has some holes in it, but for his age, it's not bad. For his height and size, it's beyond his years. But, I don't think he'll get more than 1400 minutes total his first two seasons as a Blazer. That's not very many...
