Forget the rest of the site.

No one is suggesting you should leave your friends here and go elsewhere.

Click on the link and read Discos blog.

Do it because he is a great writer and because he put together a lot of research along with some inside scoop in an attempt to identify who the most likely trade partner our team might be negotiating with based on what has been said.

You may well look at his research and come up with a different conclusion BASED on what we know the Blazers have said they are looking for and who is available.

If you choose to engage in discussion of likely trade scenarios for our team Discos article is a good place to start.

He's done all the work for you.

Aren't you and D69 the same person? :grin:

why are you assuming all those comments over 3 months are about the same trade?

Well, even if you don't take any of the clues as recent comments. Run the data and find a Eastern Conference team that would have a PG & SF that would make the Blazers a championship caliber team.

Seriously remove the emotions, stay with the data. Take the top 10 Eastern Conference teams as highly unlikely there will make a trade that will disrupt their chances of making the playoffs.
- Boston (Rajon Rondo & Paul Pierce)
- Cleveland (Mo Williams & LeBron James)
- Orlando (Jameer Nelson & Hedo Turkoglu or Rashard Lewis)
- Atlanta (Mike Bibby & Josh Smith or Marvin Williams)
- Miami (Daequan Cook & Shawn Marion)
- Detroit (Allen Iverson & Tayshaun Prince)
- Philadelphia (Andre Miller & Thaddeus Young)
- Milwaukee (Luke Ridnour & Richard Jefferson)
- New Jersey (Devin Harris & Vince Carter)
- New York (Chris Duhon or Nate Robinson & Quentin Richardson or Al Harrington)


Washington is the best with talent, followed by Charlotte & Indiana as the top three of the five bottom teams with enough talent.
- Chicago (Kirk Hinrich & Larry Hughes or Andres Nocioni) (i.e. Bulls said they are building their franchise around Derrick Rose & Loul Deng)
- Charlotte (Raymond Felton & Gerald Wallace)
- Indiana (TJ Ford & Mike Dunleavy) (i.e. Pacers aren't trading Granger who just became an all-star)
- Toronto (Jose Calderon & Jason Kapono)
- Washington (Gilbert Arenas & Caron Butler)


BTW, Chris Sheridan comments on Washington not trading is the same person that said trading LaFrenz, Outlaw and Fernandez could get Portland Vince Carter.....
 
Why wouldn't Milwaukee or Atlanta make a trade if they are financially in trouble? The Bucks postseason chances are probably done without Redd btw. I don't see how it couldn't be RJ and Sessions

I wasn't saying we'd be able to get him, just saying that if he were offered for LA+RLEC, you do it.

Well of course I'd do it, but it's not and wont happen so it's not really worth being discussed.

Just pointing out we have better salary pages than any I've seen elsewhere, thought a shameless plug was in order ;-)

ClubBlazers is a legit site. It's the site i used to post at (wish I still could) and disco69 is the guy that has the inside info, so don't discredit him for predicting Gilbert in Portland, he does tons of research on these topics. So he isn't posting a bunch of bull shit.

Thanks for the info disco:cheers:

I have met D69 IRL... but for some reason I was under the impression that he and trout were the same dude. I might be mistaken.

LOL! that could explain a ton of things, if they are the same person. But I don't think
 
Different people. Just ask any of the mods here. They can see the IP addresses Nate.

Or ask Xericx.....he's known us both for a long time.

I'm vouching for ya, they are different people. I used to admin a site they both posted on. different IPs... different lingos/posting styles.... different motives... etc

My mistake. It's been so long since the Hoopsworld days, I got ya both mixed up.
 
I have decided I don't want Bosh on our team because i don't want to see a "where's your head at" dancing cartoon with his oddly shaped head wagging back and forth on a stick figure body. I recant my previous statement that he would make a good addition to the team.

Oh also, he would be terrible at name that tune i think.
 
Caron Butler would be a good player, d69 has been a little TOO high on him though... so this may just be an over-hyped bias story... he may have heard his name in some rumblings and ran with it... who knows.
 
Milwaukee is likely going to lose Bogut for the rest of the year. If they had any aspirations of making the playoffs, they're all but washed out now.

RJ, anyone?

I believe the bucks are actually in 8th, not quite out of the playoff hunt.

I'm not sure.... if RJ is the best we can do, I'd probably go for it.
 
jefferson isnt a championship type player...thats the prob.

butler is and fits more of what KP has been taking about long term. butler still can get better...jefferson not so much and is on downside of career.....but he would help

True. I hadn't realized that.

But, there's some serious competition between MIL, NJ, NY, and CHI for that last spot right now. I believe MIL will falter without Bogut or Redd the rest of the season. Will it really be worth it to keep Jefferson and his $13mil for if they're simply going to be a fringe playoff team? I suppose their next five games (# of games before the deadline) will be crucial in determining the answer to that. They're playing DET, HOU, IND, DET, CHI.

I agree Butler is better, but RJ is a damn good cog. He was a vital piece of the NJ team that made the finals a couple of times, one of their "big 3" IMO.

And that's why it's going to cost a lot more to get Butler.
 
Well you all know whats going to happen don't you. We will post 10 pages of fan bewilderment and then they won't trade a single player. :ghoti:
