Merged: Hinrich to PDX Discussed?

[RoyToy]

It'd be nice if Kirk could get to the FT line.

Re: Report Blazers going after Steve Blake Jr

I want them to get a god dam point guard who can penetrate the lane and break down a defense not a guy who stands out there launching 3's. Oden s going to go to waste with these slow bums

"I want Ramon Sessions".

I agree, but what you get from him that we don't have now from Blake is a very good defensive player. Put Batum and Hinrich together, we improve our perimeter defense. IMO, that was one of the Blazers weakest parts of the team last year. That will help to keep Greg, Joel and LA out of foul trouble.

We have a winner! If the bigs get to stay on the floor they can be a hell of a lot more productive than sitting on the bench or playing tentative late in the game due to foul trouble.

3 Way Brewing?

Don't see this posted anywhere...

Two sources with knowledge of the three-team proposal confirmed that there have been substantive talks regarding a trade that would send Carlos Boozer to Chicago, Kirk Hinrich to Portland and Tyrus Thomas to Utah.

The Blazers, according to a source, prefer Hinrich over Paul Millsap.

Sources say it is clear that the Jazz are becoming increasingly open to the possibility of moving Boozer now to increase their financial flexibility to re-sign restricted free agent Millsap.

Who, and for what?

Do you need corrective lenses?

"You stupid idiot! How dare you post a thread about a three way trade that is reportedly being discussed when we're already talking about it in another thread!"

 

[MikeDC]

Unfortunately, I think the Bulls will hang on to Kirk like Grim Death no matter how much sense (a lot) this sort of trade makes

Bayless anyone?

@JonathanRozen Told this a.m. by a Bulls source that the Boozer deal wasn't happening. It's been discussed. A Por/Jazz/Det deal was, too.

According to Bucher's twitter, it's not happening.

Though we could get Prince?

The Bulls have never really valued big men. Why would they start now?

Hmm.. good point. When's the last time Chicago even had a low-post big-man threat? I see Curry averaged 16.1 ppg in 04-05, but the Bulls have never been a big-man team. Seem intent on finding an MJ and build around guards and small forwards.

 

[BengalDuck]

Millsap > Hinrich. Believe it.

Not since Artis Gilmore. Though, you win with what you have. When you have Jordan and Pippen, you're probably not going to build around a big man. Had they won the #1 or #2 pick in the 1984 draft, they would have built around Olajuwon or tried to build around Bowie.

Blake/Bayless/Mills
Roy/Rudy
G.Wallace/Batum/Webs
LMA/Millsap/Pendergraph
Oden/Pryz


The PG comes at the trade deadline (if Bayless is not improving...or Mills not surprising us all!).

Roy can slide over to PG. Go for Wallace - stop it with Deng and Hinrich! Yuk

Yeah.. Artis Gilmore, wow.. loonngg time. MJ's been gone for awhile though, and they've had Brand but traded him for a non-post player in Chandler. Had Curry.. and he had some decent statistical seasons but he never became a big threat. Chicago just never has seemed to be a big post-oriented team.
It's like how Phoenix will never be either. The Suns will always be a fast-break team no matter who they got.

 

[tlongII]

We're good enough at the point to win it all. What we need is lots of big uglies down low to dominate games. Millsap and Bass fit that mold.

Millsap and Gerald Wallace?

you game for that?

 

[B-Roy]

@TheD_WhatUpDoe @teebeebee Deal was Booz to Det, Prince to Por, Trade Exception + Bayless to Utah. But it won't happen.

Ricbucher

I don't like that. Maybe, I'm looking at this all wrong, but if we're going to help Utah out of their mess, I don't want to give up anymore than one asset, counting our cap space.

Ricbucher

Good God ... if that truly was discussed, I sincerely hope we weren't the ones who threw the deal off. I love that deal so much I'd marry it. Prince in a Blazer uni? Hell yes.

Wonder if the Pritch turned it down because he was concerned we wouldn't have a legit PG in summer league since Patty Mills broke his foot. LMAO.

 

[talman]

Millsap and Gerald Wallace?

you game for that?

Woah...yes please!! That would be absolutely incredible.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

We're not going to land Gerald. Charlotte seems pretty intent on keeping him. If there were to trade him we'd have to pay an arm and a leg.

If Millsap isn't a chess move to land Kirk, I'd package Przybilla for Battier.

I'm not a cap guru but is it possible to sign-and-trade for Josh Childress after we sign Millsap?

 

[Денг Гордон]

But before I get to that, I guess I have to deal with this trade story that was making the rounds in Chicago and the NBA Thursday of a three-way deal involving the Bulls, Trailblazers and Jazz with Carlos Boozer going to the Bulls, Kirk Hinrich to the Trailblazers and Tyrus Thomas to the Jazz.



Not true.



Made up.



Fabrication.



Prevarication.



Am I being too subtle here?

The report on ESPN said the teams “discussed” a deal and “two sources with knowledge of the three-team proposal confirmed there have been substantive talks…”



I’m not quite sure how you get that much wrong, but I think the editors may have left out the word, “not.”



As in the teams have “not” discussed a deal, and there have “not” been substantive talks.



I have checked this out thoroughly and am convinced there never have been discussions about any such deal. There’s a theory going around that the Trailblazers have been putting out the false leaks (you’ll notice they make out well in all the scenarios without much detail of what they give up) because of pressure they’ve been getting in Portland over losing out on Hedo Turkoglu after they said they would sign him.

Actually, no, Sam...I noticed that the Bulls made out best in that Portland/Utah/Chicago idea. Carlos Boozer for Hinrich is a complete steal. Portland makes out okay, but not great...Hinrich for all of Portland's cap space is far from great.
