Reports: Jamal Crawford draws trade interest

[MickZagger]

That Love destroyed the Beach Boys? After their huge success on Pet Sounds, when Brian Wilson was working on SMiLE, Love continually fought Brian, saying they should go back to their surf tunes that had been so popular. Various accounts have Love's undercutting Brian with the band as so severe that it was a big reason (though far from the only one) that Brian had a breakdown and basically began his gradual decline out of music for a long time.

In addition, once Brian basically stopped being the creative force, not very many people liked what Love turned the Beach Boys into for the rest of the '70s and into the '80s, a bit of a parody of what they had been.

It's definitely opinion, but it's one held by a lot of Beach Boys fans.

Just because people hate his uncle doesn't mean they should disregard the great player that Kevin is.

Wanna fight bro? I'll treat you like youre a bum, and I'm BebRavos.

Kidding aside, being from OR, I just don't want to claim Luke. I thought he's be a better pro than he has been. I've been disappointed, and thats where my "joke" originated.

I disregarded Adam Morrison because his uncle broke up the Beatles.

Minnesota acquiring Crawford might be the perfect fit for them. I hope we get a pick or something to go along with Ridnour.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

How credible is SBradio?

 

[MickZagger]

Supposedly Minnesota wants to unload Beasley.

 

[RoyToy]

I swear to god if we end up with Luke Ridnour for Crawford....

Stupidity.

 

[RR7]

Supposedly Minnesota wants to unload Beasley.

i'd probably do it, to take the flyer on talent.

 

[Brock]

the fact we are tanking and helping minny make a playoff run is shameful enough... taking back ridnour is rock bottom

oh and think this was feltons last game in portland??? maybe camby too?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Chad and Larry are running the show...

We should be afraid.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Speaking of scary...

Beasley for Crawford works under the cap.

:-/

wilson is so far gone, last time i worked a BW show, and i shit you not, he was reading from the teleprompter and said "brian talks to audience"...they dont even run his piano into the PA, and he has zero clue, its kinda sad. last time he was around his wife was basically just running him out there and cashing the checks, depressing

 

[3RA1N1AC]

beasley would be a pretty brutal cap hold this offseason no?

what show?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

what show?

it was at meadowbrook farm in gilford nh, done him in concord too

to be fair, i guess he has good days too, i just havent caught one of em

 

[RR7]

right on. I saw him here, in '05, at the Shnitz, and he seemed ok. But damn, when I replied, didn't think it was 7 years ago.

 

[Nate Dogg]

I'd like to keep a Crawford-Batum-Aldridge core right now and build from there with a new coach.

I agree. Keep Przybilla for his work ethic and low salary requirement.
I want Elliot Williams and Chris Johnson to get more experience.
Wallace is 50/50 in my books if he wants to resign.

Throw in a draft pick and I'd be cool w/ it... Beasley being a FA means we can give him an already-paid-for tryout and if he has any issues, can be cut at a moment's notice...

Like others have said, with his talent, it's worth a shot

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yep, $12.5M. If we traded for him, we'd obviously release that hold immediately this summer.

Worst Kinda Trade you can make.

Jaynes says the Ridnour talk is a backup plan to Rondo, Nash or Calderon.

With Miller and Buchanan, I fully expect them to fail with their plan-A guards and Ridnour will be a Blazer.

Very excite.

Not me. I fully expect them to overpay for Nash or Calderon. Can't wait to see Williams light us up after we deal him

Nash is a stopgap due to his age and Caleron will make Nate go crazy with his defense. Rondo is a pipedream, it's too late for that option now.

I agree with all of this.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Rondo in the Rose City . . .

 

[Natebishop3]

There is no doubt in my mind that we could get Rondo..... just at what cost.
