That just really doesn't seem like enough for NO.

If we can get CP3, fine, but otherwise..... no.

I agree. Not much else we need but a top PG. You have to be able to stop the other team's best wing players. Everyone wants him for a reason.
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

NJ is interesting. Chad Ford reported that Portland did offer LMA for Favors and Harris this summer. Obviously it was rejected by NJ but we did/do have interest in Favors.
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

if we do Batum (and not that I would be complaining at all) But we HAVE to keep Rudy (at least for this season) then to have any form of firepower off the bench. Assuming Wes would slide into the starting 3 spot.

I think you would have to work Harris into the deal for NO, to start.

Go Blazers
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

Nets weren't part of this scheme.

You could add draft picks or other young prospects to make it work for N.O. I'm just not sure what they would want. I'm guessing E. Williams and draft picks?

This is the only trade I can come up with that nets us (no pun intended) CP3. We give up a lot, and so does NJ. Not sure if it would happen. If we trade Batum, I'm not sure who would play SF.

CP3/Johnson/Mills
Roy/Matthews/Williams
??/Babbitt
Aldridge/Cunningham
Camby/Oden/Oberto
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

What kind of contract will Batum command next year? Scary to think of some of the offers he could recieve . . . or is that in two years?
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

Ya... we're not sending Nic to DEN, just so we can get Devin Harris.

If he wants to win now, then it would seem silly to wait two years for Paul to join him in NY with Amare.

if he wants to win now and have a good chance the next several yrs POR should be a top pick of his, but it's more than Bball apparently
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

I don't see the point of gettin Favors when we already have a borderline all star at PF. Trades like that kill chemistry.
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

It's going to take a helluva lot more than Harris IMO to prise Batum from this roster. Cho has already said that he likes players that play both ends of the court and Nic is maybe the best example of one such player I can think of in the NBA.

(shutup, I know saying Nic is the best two way player in the league is hyperbole, but dammit I'm going to take a moment to be completely irrational).

How about trade Aldridge for Favors and a fat contract and call it a day.

If we got Favors in the Melo trade, and I'm not saying they'd do that, but we could move LMA for another small forward. It really depends on how the team is playing. If we keep playing at this level, I doubt we see any kind of major trade. If we start to struggle, which is always possible, I could see Cho making a move that really shakes things up but keeps Roy as the cornerstone of the franchise. I could see this team getting very frustrated with Aldridge if he has another "meh" season.
 
Re: Carmelo Trades

I said it in another thread, but if Batum is outgoing it had better be for a bonafide star player or I'm going to be super pissed. You can call me crazy, but I think Nic's already making a case for himself that he's the second best (or second most important?) player on this roster.
 
Re: Nuggets want Batum

"*Sources said that the Nuggets have registered strong interest in Blazers swingman Nicolas Batum and would naturally be unable to resist if a trade scenario emerged that enabled them to acquire Favors, Batum and future draft considerations. "

The Nuggets want Favors Batum AND draft picks? They'll lose Mello for nothing at the end of the year so seems to me they're being optimistic in getting that much. Teams just need to wait and the price comes down.

I think Nic could easily be the second best player on the roster, but I don't think he's passed LMA just yet. If he can keep up this pace, then absolutely I think he will surpass LMA as the second best player on the roster.

I agree 100%. It is now Brandon, big gap to LMA, small gap to Nic.

You don't think Favors and Harris are worth Batum?

At this point, I do not know. We have yet to see how Favors translates to the NBA. I like Nic so much, however, that I would not do Nic for Harris straight up.
 
Re: Carmelo Trades

But with that said, I think the second most important person on the team is Camby. He might not be the second most talented, but I think he has been vital to our success so far.

I again agree. He anchors the defense - which is something that is needed on most teams - no matter how good your perimeter defenders are.

At this point in time, the offense runs through Roy, the defense is anchored by Camby - and hopefully, in the near future - by Oden (who is not as good a team defender as Camby - but is so big and imposing that overall, I think, he is a better anchor).

Oden could be as good as Camby at leading the D, but that's really a veteran thing. He's going to need more time on the court, and more experience overall before he'll be able to do that.

No, I wouldn't do Nic for Harris, but I think adding Favors would give us some insurance if we don't like how LMA is developing.
 
Re: Carmelo Trades

Oden could go anywhere from being both the offensive and defensive anchor, to being just the defensive anchor, to merely being valuable on either end. Assuming he stays healthy. It's really hard to evaluate his "value" at the moment.

But in terms of willingness to trade a player, for me it's:

1. Roy
2. Oden
<sizeable gap>
3. Batum
<sizeable gap>
4. Aldridge
