Can we get Blake Griffin?

[KingSpeed]

It's not like Sterling is going to pay him what he's worth. I'm against tearing up the team and rebuilding for the sake of rebuilding, but if we could get that guy, I'd be fine with missing the playoffs. I'd be willing to part with any combination of ANY or all of our players for a deal that brought Griffin to Portland. He's a legit superstar and Portland needs one badly. I think a championship team can be built around him. I you're listening, Please Make it happen, Cho!!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Not until his deal runs out and they have to try to do a sign and trade because he won't stay.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

No.

As awesome as this pic is, it still doesn't quite do the feeling justice.

 

[KingSpeed]

Send them our whole starting lineup. We'll take all their crappy players to make it work and they can have a more competitive team in the present. 1-13 isn't working for them. What happened to the playoff talk?

You've gotta get creative and go for it. How did the Celtics get Garnett and Ray Allen? How did the Lakers get Pau? They went for it. We should throw everything at them. The Clippers are world renowned for making bad decisions. We should take advantage of that.

 

[yenniedn]

Ironic indeed that Fez would feel like this about someone else's thread . . .

 

[BlayZa]

the way we'er going we'd get him and then he'd walk on the court and http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4597949 all over again.

"avoid anything to do with knees if you're the blazers"

dude's beasting - but you know he'd royden up as soon as he got here

Hey get on the phone and make it happen.

The truth in this post is overwhelming and pervasive.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

LA, Miller, Oden, and Joel for Baron, Kaman, and Griffin works. They still would probably not go for it though. Camby substituted for Joel also works on the checker.

 

[jlprk]

We don't want competition. Cho had better be sneaky about this one.

 

[Mediocre Man]

No.

 

[Denny Crane]

Maybe the Clips would have traded him for Bayless, but that ship has sailed.

LOL at probably.

I'm not sure if I should give you credit for a great piece of sarcasm.

Should have put it in green or added our collection of Euros.

Seriously though, I think the only thing that would get Griffin out of Clipperland would be a deal that would be too good to refuse. A team would have to take the horrible contract of Baron Davis, plus give up alot of talent. For the Blazers, it would almost saying "Give us Griffin and any other salaries on your team, then take as much as you want from us". They signed alot of players this offseason and would have more to work with once they become tradeable.

Again, highly unlikely.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

No but I bet Kaman will be available at the trade deadline

I would do that deal. He's the only guy I'd give up Oden for.

At this point, do not be surprised at how little we get in return for Oden. I agree with the idea many have voiced in that Oden needs a fresh start and no one is going to give us an All-Star in return.

There are multiple centers that I would trade him for even up.

Hell no. Short of Griffin, I'd give up Oden for no one. I think Oden is the most untouchable player on our roster. He will get healthy and we'll get at least 11/10/2.5 out of him for many years.

Eleven games, 10 surgeries and 2.5 dick pics?

Seriously though, I hope that maybe he just hadn't finished growing until now, maybe this will be his last surgery ever? (crosses fingers)

Have you watched Roy Hibbert or Brook Lopez play lately? Swap either of those two for Oden straight up and we would become contenders. It is questionable if healthy that Oden produces as much as these two.

 

[oldguy]

Yeah, let's get Lebron, too. He seems pretty good.

Go Blazers

 

[Minstrel]

I'll trade Oden even up for Durant.

Why it works for us: We could use a wing scorer with Roy's future uncertain.

Why it works for them: It doesn't. So?
