Sure, if you send up Lopez.

Btw, just so it's crystal clear, that was totally tongue in cheek. The Nets would have to send a 1st round pick too. ;)
 
It'd have to be the 2012 first rounder with Derrick Favors....

Deal?
 
He can't even hit an open jump shot this year. It's depressing.
 
Jesus christ. Interesting to see the PER's now:

Player/PER last year as a Blazer/PER now

Travis Outlaw: 15.0 8.4
Steve Blake: 11.2 7.4
Zach Randolph: 22.8 21.6
Webster: 12.5 13.1
Jack: 13.0 11.3
Frye: 10.0 11.5
Bayless: 14.3 16.1

Overall, there's not much of a trend of players getting significantly better statistically when they leave this team. Bayless showed the most marked improvement, but he is only a third year guy, and he showed even more improvement from his first to second year as a Blazer.

The team is struggling right now, but I look at how players look once they are "unleashed" from McMillan's system and the results aren't that great. His system is slow, boring, risk averse, predictable, and it appears easy to plan for in the playoffs. But I think it's a little harder to look at the above list and say, "It doesn't really maximize player talent."
 
Great post mook! Yes I kind of agree with your sentiments, sure I'd love for the team to have a better offense but I'm not sure its really costing us wins...

I was shocked when NJ gave him that deal. He was an acceptable backup but a horrible starter and generally very streaky. A full MLE offer??? Made me so glad we had Camby and he was somebody elses problem.

I'd love to have him in place of Babbit on a small salary, but Outlaw just really sucks as a $35 million dollar man.
 
I don't know who's taking these pictures of you, Vinyard, but your boobs keep getting bigger.
 
I've never been a big Outlaw fan (at least not since it became obvious that he was evolving into a jump-shooter) but... he hasn't been horrible by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't know why he's not doing as well as he has in the past, but since his game is pretty much exclusively shooting jumpers, I can see how if that fails him (or if he's not given the green light) the rest of his game is going to go down the toilet, too.

I'm not sorry to see him in New Jersey, that's for sure.

I have never considered Trav horrible.
 
Nate coached Trout up to be a 15 PER player who could be explosive on offense in the 4th quarter. Two coaches since, with two separate organizations, haven't had any success with him. Maybe the Nets need Nate to be their coach, instead of that hack Avery Johnson, who lucked into coaching the Mavs, then squandered a certain title?
