Better comparison might be Zach, if he were still on our roster but not playing (since Tinsley has basically been given the Terrell-Owens-in-Philly treatment); and to make the situations comparable, Rudy would have to have had a few years in the league and have proven himself capable of starting (as Dunleavy has for Indy).

So, IF all that were true, and I could trade Roy and Zach for an inferior-to-Roy-but-still-perennial-all-star player in his prime at my team's greatest position of need--Harris at PG, perhaps?--then I'd seriously consider it. If I had to choose between a Blake/Roy backcourt, or a Harris/Rudy one, and the latter saves my team money, then I probably take door #2.

I think that's a pretty clear case of false choice. The team is in no way restricted to either Harris/Rudy or just Blake/Roy; KP has options.

I'm guessing that if the Blazers were really committed to getting a decent upgrade to Blake/Sergio/Bayless at the one, then they do have the combination of expiring contracts and young talent to go out and get somebody to improve the back-court to at least some degree -- the cost would vary depending on the target, but for instance, if they really wanted to make a play for Ramon Sessions this summer (a restricted FA) they are going to have somewhere around 8-15 million of cap room to make him an offer; while it's no guarantee you'll get him or that the Bucks won't match, he'd be worth a shot. Plus, there will always be trade opportunities this summer to take back more salary than the team sends out so teams that are looking to shed superfluous guys (like Hinrich perhaps?) so opportunities to improve might come up through that avenue too.

But under no circumstances should Roy be considered tradeable, unless the first name of the player coming back has "LeBron" or "Dwayne" in it.

Do it KP! If we make a trade, i do think it would need to clear a player out of the SF and PG position, so trading Webster, Sergio and Raef for Wallace works for me...

Blake | Bayless
Roy | Rudy
Wallace | Batum
Aldridge | Outlaw
Oden | Pryzbilla.

Make it so!

That is not only a really nice balance offensively and defensively, it also still leaves us with a seriously good bench that can score and defend.

How about J-Smoove?

Trading for Josh Smith is interesting idea, and I agree that Atlanta would need to get a player like Stoudamire for them to consider it. He would certainly bring the energy and defensive ability we sorely need.

As I said, Atlanta would probably like this trade, since they need a big active big man, and it might even open the possibility of bringing back Childress. Wouldn't Phoenix rather have Smith themselves than Webster, Bayless, and Rudy? I don't think they are really going into full rebuild mode.

Smoove is BYC for one, so they can't do a straight up swap, and plus I think Phoenix would rather have 3 young talents rather than one who is locked up on a big contract.
 
RLEC for Tayshawn Prince and Jason Maxiel. The salaries work. Our line-up would then be:
Blake/(Bayless or Sergio)
Roy/Rudy
Prince/Batum
LA/Maxiell
Oden/Joel.

It doesn't get rid of anyone, though. I just think Prince puts Portland over the top into contender status. Maxiel is an actual Power Forward, so that would be an upgrade.

Thats alot of talent for Detroit to give up don't you think?

We somehow would have to work out a deal that sent travis at the least.

The only way I could see Detroit trying this is if they got Amare in a 3 team deal with another forward like Travis.

They would never do Raef for Prince straight up... and we NEED to get rid of some logjams... not losing anyone and just bringing in another SF makes things way to hectic.

Actually, they might. Their owner is in financial straights and Prince is their player with a contract longer then 2 years. It's a pure salary dump for sure. It also gives them the most money of any team in the summer of 2010, which they are already aggressively planning for.

No, they won't.

But Prince and Stuckey are their building blocks for the future. They want cap space, but how will they lure a FA without having at least a respectable team? Also, it was said that Dumars asked for one of our big 3 when we called about Prince this summer.
 
Here is my take http://games.espn.go.com/nba/featur...3217&teams=22~22~22~4~10~4~10~22~22&te=&cash=

Portland receives defensive minded starters with playoff experience at PG and SF. Portland also gets a backup PF that should be the garbage man type of player some people see the need for.

Houston gets more options at the offensive end. Trading an older player with a bigger contract for a younger player with a smaller contract should be seen as a win for them.

Chicago gets cap relief and a PG that should be a great back up to Rose.

I thought the goal of a deal at the deadline would be to consolidate the roster and solidify the starting SF and or PG for the next several years.

I'm not sure we should be dealing 4 players, only to get 5 in return.
 
I propose making as many deals with Steve Kerr before he is fired.:devilwink:

Possible. I don't see any major flaws. If Phoenix want's to trade Amare, I'm not sure what they are going for next. Under the D'antoni, Outlaw and Rudy would have been perfect. They would probably still be good with Nash, but how long will he be able to play?

I also question whether Deng is really that much better than Outlaw. If you compare their per/40 numbers they are very similar. I hear Deng's defense is better, but I really can't say I've noticed it. I'm pretty sure he isn't shooting 6/7 on game winners though.
