<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I prefer dealing RJ to Portland. I don't know why there aren't any rumours swirling around them. Yes, I understand that they want to build around their young guys, but as I understand it, if they don't do anything they'll end up with something like 20 players under contract next season. It seems like Seattle and Portland have half the draft picks this year between them.</div>
portland will need to give extensions to roy, aldridge and there other young pieces so they'll need to trade some depth, if we take on Lafrentz contract, we might be able to get back outlaw.
rj, mags for outlaw and lafrentz
</div>
plus rudy fernandez plus two of their second round picks.

The real prize is going after their still-to-come European guys, like Koponen and Rudy Fernandez. They need to start dumping bodies, and they can get rid of those guys without screwing up their playoff chances this year.
