[ABM]

I'd even throw in a pick.

I vote we try to trade for some veterans instead.

You get your Veteran PG and Swing man.

 

[ABM]

Scratch that. Batum's too good to part with.

Oh, and I hear ya, Nik. Vet(s) would be the key.

sweet. Where do I sign?

 

[LameR]

That first trade is horrible for them.

Yeah, Portland is getting ripped off.

I would definitely do this trade! Rudy Gay is awesome. Conley is a good pick up as well- they may be the two best players in the trade.

ABM.... uh... well... never mind

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A crazier idea:

Travis Outlaw for Andrea Bargnani

 

[Nikolokolus]

A terrible idea:

Travis Outlaw for Andrea Bargnani

Fixed

Yep. Gay is the cornerstone of the Memphis team. There's no way that they trade him for anything less than one of our big three... and I'm not sure they'd do it one-for-one with one of those guys.

ABM, I bet you really anger Kevin Pritchard as he's admitted trade ideas from the various Blazer boards get to him (in a bad way).

I'd like to see this one with Chi-Town:

We would have to probably throw in a pick as well.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Is Kirk really worth all that? He hasn't done anything to even maintain his trade stock. If anything, it's likely his value is as low as ever. Stat wise, he's a downgrade from Steve Blake.

 

[Ed O]

Is Kirk really worth all that?

Two bench players and an expiring contract? I don't think we're really giving up THAT much value in that deal.

I don't know that Chicago would want that package of players.

Ed O.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Travis in particular is worth more than Kirk, bench player or not. The way Kirk has played he's starting by default because they just don't have any SG's worth playing. The depth in the Bulls backcourt is brutal.

Two bench players and an expiring contract for 2 bench players with bad contracts? Doesn't sound too smart to me.

I know this was just a popular assumption but Kirk isn't even a starter anymore. He's been regulated to the bench because the Bulls would rather start... get ready for this... they would rather start Thabo Sefalosha than Kirk Hinrich, yes Thabo Sefalosha. It should tell you a lot that the Bulls would rather start Thabo over Kirk.

 

[Ed O]

Would Hinrich start for us? I think so.

Would either Frye or Outlaw start for the Bulls? Almost certainly not.

Ed O.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Would Hinrich start for us? I think so.

Then that speaks volumes about the standards and our depth at the PG position. If he can't start on the Bulls, I'd hope he wouldn't start on the Blazers.

Would either Frye or Outlaw start for the Bulls? Almost certainly not.

Really? Want to take a look at Tyrus Thomas' numbers while starting? I think Frye would be a far more productive starter at the PF position than Thomas has been thus far.

 

[Ed O]

Dude. Rose is a pretty darn good player.

And if we're not getting Hinrich to start, what's the point?

Really? Want to take a look at Tyrus Thomas' numbers while starting? I think Frye would be a far more productive starter at the PF position than Thomas has been thus far.

I seriously doubt that.

Ed O.

 

[Draco]

I seriously doubt that.

Tyrus is shooting 25%, he is cold. I'm not saying the trade makes sense or anything but Frye would be better than that.

Good lord, that was genius. I mean just configuring all that I give you props.
