options eh?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

If Cho drug his feet for this long for James Johnson, I'll be pissed.

 

[Natebishop3]

I guess we'll see.

Why? The team is worse off trading for James Johnson now than they would have been trading for James Johnson several weeks ago?

James Johnson period. Trading for bench fodder, who's bball IQ is Travis Outlaw-esque, is worse than letting Rudy sit out his contract.

If we get james Johnson i'll be pissed

I guess I don't quite agree. In terms of opportunity cost we're talking about a phantom player who is literally providing nothing and takes up a roster spot, compared to a scrub player who can at least give you a warm body in practice -- I guess the only thing you'd have to worry about is Rudy killing you in a game situation, but I guess I'm not super worried about that.

We might be surprised, for the good, for what Cho gets for Rudy now that he's done a little better overseas. Hoping so anyway.

Nah, I wouldn't expect that. I think we're going to see him moved for peanuts, but hopefully he's sent to some wasteland like New Jersey.

Better yet, send his ass to the D League.

 

[Mediocre Man]

soon.

 

[Draco]

I'd rather the team release him from his contract then trade for James Johnson.

 

[espn_hall_of_famer]

soon.

Maybe Quick will have a story that something dramatic is going to happen soon and then announce that Cho is working on a potential trade.

 

[Tom Cruise]

I disagree only in that I think thats what he would want and I say fuck what he wants. Blazers deserve to get some value for him due to the cost to get him.

 

[ripcity67]

How did this become a JJ thread, I don't see him even mentioned in the article. What if it is Taj?

I hope we can trade him for Marc Iavaroni. Quick would finally be vindicated.

This can't be true. I've read here that the CHOsen One won't be forced into trading Rudy. Getting a 10 PER scrub like a 22 year-old James Johnson doesn't seem at all likely given all the spreadsheets and such that the CHOsen One uses to assess any deal.

Wesley oughta take care of trudy if Nic doesn't...

Rudy's a scrub. Addition by subtraction.

that only comes up when guys are cancers and can manipulate the minds of teammates. i don't think that fits rudy. sure he doesn't want to be here but just cutting him is pointless and worthless.

Saying he won't show up to camp unless he's traded and moping on the bench like he did last year is being a cancer. Hell, during the playoffs Roy was injured and it was his opportunity to prove his worth, he looked like shit jacking up 3's and doing nothing else.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Let Rudy go. We are at 16 players anyways with him on the roster. Let the new guys gain experience. I'm sick of Rudy's attitude towards this year and him lacking to talk to Nate on his role on this team. i think Rudy wants his 25+ min per game and its not going to happen under Nate's system.

"The first-year GM has some options, and I'm getting the feeling he might pull the trigger on something before camp," Eggers wrote.

Wow. Eggers is "getting a feeling"? And this is a news story???

Its off season. If someone saw Oden blow his nose RealGM would put it up.

Aw, crap. Greg has a cold? What if it's one of those antibiotic resistant strains? Greg probably won't ever play again. /Eore

Go Blazers

In fairness, Egger's random feelings are more accurate than Quick's deepest thoughts.

And if Paul Allen sneezes he's at death's door and on the verge of selling/moving the team.

I take it you have never lost someone close to you to lymphoma?

 

[Blazer4ever]

I've just read there's tension between the Hawks and Jamal Crawford because they don't want to offer him the extension he wants.
I believe a trade of Rudy+Joel for Jamal Crawford could be good for both teams. Crawford had a much better season than Rudy last year but if the Hawks can't keep him, a trade that would bring back a younger, cheaper scoring 2-guard with tons of potential in Rudy and a very servicable big man, who can really fill a need for them when healthy and has expiring contract in Joel wouldn't make their team much worse, it could even be an upgrade.

For us, it gives our 2nd unit a new look.
Current look: Bayless, Rudy, Mathewss, Pryzbilla (when healthy), Camby with Dante and Johnson as 11th and 12th.
New, hypothetical, look: Bayless, Crawford, Mathewss, Dante, Camby with Babbitt, Johnson and Pendergraph in some order as the 11th to 13th players.

If we make this trade, we can also keep Patty Mills, if anyone cares.
