OT: Rockets, Knicks, Wizards discussing trade

[Wheels]

Wouldnt mind getting in on this one. But not sure we would have the pieces.

What the hell is Washington getting??? Al harrington??? surely we can do better, Rudy and webster/outlaw and Pryz

 

[hasoos]

Yea I think this is being discussed in the other Butler thread. But it might deserve it's own. The Knicks are getting lured in with McGrady and the dice they can roll with him. What I don't understand is why Washington would take Harrington for Butler....seems like a downgrade to me.

Looks like pure salary dump to me. Even with Brendan. hmmmm.

Only one of the players you mentioned has an expiring contract.


That and the fact that KP is so passive at the trade deadline, I see no reason to think we would ever get in on something like this

 

[Wheels]

only one I could make work would be this one

Blake, Outlaw, Joel, Rudy

for

Caron, Haywood.

Hell of a deal for Houston if they can pull that one off, get an All-Star caliber player and have a viable center now. T-Mac to NY would be a typical Knicks move. And the Wiz... who the hell knows.

I already posted this rumor in the Blake/Outlaw for Haywood thread... loser!

You've forgotten one very important ingredient.

Our general manager is scared shitless to make trades.

I know there have been opportunities that have been passed up.. but honestly not one of us is behind the scenes.. and we dont know why it wasnt done. Do you know for a fact that Paul Allen didnt just decide to save Raef's money? I am part of the camp where if I honestly dont know shit about what happened, I dont say shit about what happened/didnt happen.

link proving it?

Like there would be a link for that. Comon man. It's more intuition than anything else.

I still love you... long time!

I know there isnt a link for that. But someone cant honestly tell me that a GM is scared to make a deal, when they honestly have no idea. Its not ultimately up to the GM to pull the trigger it still has to be run by someone higher up.

It is rare that Paul Allen intervenes, but he does, I will give you that. But IMO, there have been too many trade pieces available to us, and players available, only to go somewhere else for what I consider peanuts. The big one being the RLEC, and the big nothing that happened with it, when there were cleary valuable players available at the time.

It all comes down to opinion. You may not believe anything was on the table, and KP is doing a good job. But I believe there are enough clues on the table to show the ball has been dropped many times. It doesn't matter. We have the hand we are dealt, and all I can ask for is for the GM to learn from his experience, and move on.

I hope KP can fuck with Morey again and steal Butler + Haywood.

I don't want Houston getting better.

Yea well think about this. What if yao comes back healthy next year?

The one question I do have though is, they have Battier. They have Ariza. Do they really need another SF? Or are they going to play him at SG?

 

[illmatic99]

I was thinking more in the short term. The upgrade in talent would be pretty significant.

I agree that Mr Allen doesnt intervene much.. but with this one I could see it happening. One thing rich people Hate is losing money. I could see it happening.. but like I said, I just dont know.

I have read various account on how he thinks Rudy will be an all star one day and wants to keep him. It wouldn't surprise me after the Darius Miles thing. They probably partied on his yacht a bunch, and had good times.

lol yeah that too.. his man crush on Rudy. Although I am a big fan of Rudy. If he was the asking price in the other threads mentioned deal of Haywood and Caron.. I am all for it.

I know how to Google thanks I still didnt see anything about him being scared shitless though. In fact one even mentioned his good trades that have benefited the Blazers and used the term Pritch Slap.

 

[hasoos]

I think the Blazer fans have been Pritch Slapped!

Get back to me if deals actually start moving from rumor to completion and the Blazers are left on the sidelines. Maybe at that time you'll actually have a point to make.

So much for somebody getting a joke.

Boy, that phrase sure went by the wayside.

 

[e_blazer]

Oh, now I get it:

KP passed on multiple deals for RLEC.

You know because of intuition.

He won't make any trades because he's KP.

Blazer fans got Pritch-slapped.

....

Good one.
