Hakim Warrick Went Off Last Night

[PapaG]

Seriously. Now that Memphis is obviously showcasing Conley for KP to take the bait, I wonder if KP would demand Warrick in return if the deal included Outlaw.

21 pts and 6 rebs on 9-12 shooting would be nice off of the Blazer bench, no?

 

[Денг Гордон]

You don't get Warrick and Conley for Outlaw. Come on now. Warrick's just as good as Outlaw for the most part.

And Warrick didn't do anything special. He just abused the Bulls front court like every other front court player this season.

Warrick is an expiring contract. That makes his value different than Outlaw's. He would basically be a rent-a-player.

Warrick doesn't like Portland. So no, he wouldn't get traded to Portland for Travis Outlaw.

warrick is made of toilet paper, and would become very moist and lose all structural integrity when exposed to the portland rain. not to mention his mother in law is a grizzly bear, his middle name is elvis, and he loves him some cowboy troy.

Says who? I'm just curious.

And when you are a superstar like Hakim Warrick, you get veto power over any trade.

You do when you're a free agent that summer. Of course maybe you're the type of person who would trade assets only to rent a player like Warrick for the season. I don't think your fans would be very happy with you though.

I don't think the Blazers would give up a towel to acquire a player like Warrick. If they get him it'd probably just be filler for something that would help the team.

I know you're not talking about the city. Memphis, TN is such an ugly, rugged, boring, tiny city.

Well, he did win a championship in college.

So, in conclusion, Warrick>Oden, and Syracuse>Portland.

LOL Hakim Warrick....

Yeah, cuz its up to the players where they play right? Especially high caliber players like Hakim Warrick.

Yeah, unless you're an elite player you don't get to choose where you sign in free agency

 

[MrJayremmie]

1. I'm pretty sure this thread was about trades, not FA. Because Warrick was rumored to be in a trade w/ Conley comin' to Portland.
2. This wasn't even a real thread, the OP is kind of upset at something and started threads about random players because the mods didn't delete a thread about Conley in the Portland forum.
3. We really would never even consider signing Warrick in Free Agency... We have a very similar player in Outlaw.

Frequently you don't, because not very many teams want you. In fact, sometimes the number is zero.
That's why Bonzi is learning Chinese now.

The context is whether Warrick would have to sign with Portland. He doesn't. He can choose to go else where.

 

[MrJayremmie]

Warrick doesn't like Portland. So no, he wouldn't get traded to Portland for Travis Outlaw.

This is what sparked the "He doesn't like Portland so...". It was never about FA. That is what ppl were talkin' about. Obviously he can choose (though can't be too picky) where he wants to go in FA.

Just a question though, where did he say he didn't like P-town?

Sure. But if his contract is expiring, and he's traded, then his bird rights are traded with him, and - assuming the team that acquired him wants him - they can outbid everyone else. Now, maybe Warrick doesn't care about money, I don't know. He'd be a bit unusual in that regard.

Lot of hypotheticals here, since we have only one poster's word that Warrick doesn't like Portland, and we have no indication at all that Portland likes Warrick.

Rumors, barfo. Listen to the rumors!

Rumors, barfo. Listen to the rumors!

There are no reported rumors, that I am aware of, involving front-office contact between the Blazers and the Grizzlies regarding Warrick the way there are with, say, Outlaw.

your still making no sense. he would be a throw in and not the major part of the deal. why would us fans be mad if he walked?

You are the ONLY one talking about re-signing Warrick. We're talking about a trade for Outlaw + spare parts for Conley, with Warrick being rumored as a throw in. The benefit of a message board is you getta read when people are trying to pull crap from their ass.

I heard that KP has been talking to the Griz about Warrick being a part of this deal. I read it on this very board.
