Fuck, Cho. WTF are you doing?

Do you realize that we're in a win now mode?

I approve of this trade (because, after all, I asked for it). I think it's actually more likely to clear up PT for Rudy and Matthews than it is Armon. Roy will probably be our backup PG and this will lessen the time that Roy and Miller spend on the court together.

But who goes out of Pendy and Patty?

I don't see how you can approve of this trade.... trading Bayless, fine, but for a future first round pick? You think that's a good move?

I now have confirmation....

The blazers have no clue or path. Who plays pg if miller goes down? This is a move a team not expecting playoffs makes. Bayless was decent depth.

Are you fucking kidding? You honestly think the team isn't expecting to make the playoffs? That's idiotic. Bayless was not good in most of the games he played. Who plays PG if Miller goes down? We have Johnson, who is actually a PG not a SG. And Matthews can easily play alongside Roy at PG. Oh and I forgot to mention that Miller NEVER goes down.

NOH's web site lists 15 players on the roster. Wonder if they are going to cut someone or if this is the first domino falling...

Portland still has 18 players listed on their roster according to NBA.com, but then again, Sykes and Hill are on it, and we know they have been waived. I'm going to guess that a cheap owner like Shinn has at least one non-guaranteed player on his training camp roster.
 
Bayless' reaction to trade:

Armon Johnson has been looking SOOOOOOO good, I think the writing was on the wall. Might be more to save Pendy that for Patty. Patty is still a D-Leaguer and Armon may be a long-term NBA guard in the league. Wesley Matthews and Roy can play the point, so we don't need to carry Patty or Bayless with Dre and Armon.
 
Wonder when we'll hear about the protection on that pick.
 
Okay, I had an emotional tirade right there. Here's an idea, could the Blazers have done this to open up more playing time for Rudy since he has been playing so well?
 
IMO, there's no chance this pick isn't lotto protected.
 
Adande just tweeted it's a 2011 first rounder not protected. So if the hornets do suck and trade Paul we could get a pretty nice player out of it.

Just to be clear I'm more concerned about our backup pg and if Roy should go down jbay was serviceable at least. That's why im nervous
 
not even top 3 protected? well that eases the sting a bit. kind of a bad trade in either case. Its not like the Hornets have a terrible roster..CP3, Okafor, West.

You don't think Matthews is serviceable?

We have Wes Matthews.
 
I'm not happy with this trade at all. I would like to have included Bayless in a trade for an upgraded player somewhere not just a pick that is going to be sitting on our bench.
 
Ok, I get that people don't mind because they think this opens up playing time for Armon, Rudy, etc, but I'm pissed because I think we should have been able to get more for Bayless, OR we could have used him as sweetener with an expiring.
 
I like the move. I've never really been big on Bayless. Trading him for a first rounder in the New Orleans range seems about fair value for him. This creates opportunities for Rudy, who being a whiny bitch, or not, is a proven shooting commodity.

Now, unprotected pick from New Orleans could be similar to the New York unprotected pick that Utah had last year. Could be great thing to keep in that back pocket.
 
Shit he deleted it. Jesus do we have fucking beatwriters?
 
obviously, since this trade happens, it means it was the best possible trade for Bayless.

I can see your point of view, but really, how many teams would want Bayless? He has limited appeal. Even crappy teams like Philly have players like Lou Williams who is VERY similar. I say take the money and run! I honestly think that, in terms of trade chips, the NO pick is a lot more valuable than Bayless.
 
So yeah, firing Kevin Pritchard is indeed proving to be a terrible idea.

Fucking Cho.
