Seems a little too quiet to me...

I don't mind Deng, but Kirk doesn't do it for me

hinrich is one of the best defensive PG in the entire league, which also happens to be one of our primary weaknesses. if we go after him it will be for that reason.

He's pretty good, but I think he's kind of been living on reputation at this point from his second team all defense selection in 05-06 -- not to denigrate him because I do think he's a solid B+ point guard in the league who is a decent creator and no worse than average in any particular area.

I'm not crazy about giving up Bayless in a deal that "just" nets us Hinrich and Deng and would rather move Batum or Rudy first, but if his inclusion is non-negotiable I guess I'd pull the trigger.

respectfully but totally disagree. from what i've seen he's certainly one of the best defensive PG in the league. as a pure defensive PG who bothers shots and limits penetration (as opposed to someone like chris paul who gambles and lives off of steals) possibly THE best.

I don't see the disagreement. I said he's pretty good.

Doesn't make sense to me the Suns would fire Porter and trade Amare. If they are trying to cut costs and rebuild they'd keep. Porter.

Why? If they've decided Porter is a poor coach, why would they keep him for the rebuilding effort?

They want to keep Steve Nash happy, who is a fan favorite. Amare is as good as gone still.

Kirk/Hinrich just isn't that attractable to me anymore, especially Hinrich.

IMO the Blazers settle for too less if they give up Bayless/Outlaw/RLEC for just Hinrich and Deng.

Agreed!

This trade would be a joke for Portland.

Kirk also doesn't do it for me. I kinda like our PG situation (as i've said before) but wouldn't mind trading Sergio to clear up the jam so he doesn't pout all year.

it's quiet because the biggest trade talk involves the team hosting the game. wait till monday.

It's Monday and it's still quiet
