Event The OFFICIAL Trade Deadline thread

[Rastapopoulos]

Don't know how to do tweets, but this is Mark Stein:

Last three teams I've spoken to convinced Denver WILL get first-round pick it wants for Arron Afflalo and think it's coming from Portland



I guess I just found out how to do tweets.

How?

Yeah my reasons are only contract related.

Unless.....Neil is thinking that it is worth the pick to have a backup plan in the case that Wes is offered a crazy number that they just are not willing to match. Would a trade for Afflalo's give us an advantage in resigning him? like a longer contract?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Would this mean Victor gets waived?

 

[RR7]

Would this mean Victor gets waived?

no real need to, so I'd doubt it

 

[Pinwheel1]

Are you in the right thread? Maybe if we signed Prince. Not if we traded two players to Denver for one in return

 

[BigGameDamian]

Would that be a no from you then?

If the Wolves are considering buying out Martin, then shouldn't he (theoretically) be available in trade for a heavy discount?

For instance, say Denver insists on CJ instead of Will, and Minnesota wants to ditch Martin for even less than the buyout. This could work for everyone.

Or even better (and yes, I know I'm responding to my own post), Denver doesn't insist on CJ, but only really cares about the pick. TRob/Wright/pick to Denver and Will/Claver to Minnesota would actually be enough salary for Chandler and Martin.

Dame/Blake
Wes/Martin/CJ
Nic/Chandler
LA/Nards
RoLo/Kaman/Joel

Looks like a roster that could use a few minimum-salary vets. KryptoNate, Prince, and Jermaine could fill those holes quite nicely.

No, I meant if Mark Stein is right.

Trading Kaman for Craword makes a lot of sense for both teams... Essentially they're the same role of bench scorer but LAC has a bad frontcourt depth problem and we don't have a guy who can truly create his own shot off the bench (CJ is the closest thing we have and he isn't ready). As long as we don't give up the 1st FOR Crawford I'd be fine. The 1st should be used on Chandler.

Hell even if Jerm is done there are guys that can fill the third center role like Okafor, Gray or Dalembert.

Crawford sucks in playoffs. No thanks.

Jermaine O'Neal is not playing this season.

Crawford has never shot more than 39% from the field in the playoffs. He chokes.

I will say what I’ve always said about multi-player trades: You can stack garbage up as high as you want — but it’s still garbage.

 

[KingSpeed]

Also Crawford is only shooting 32% from 3 this year and 39% overall. Why would we want that added to our team? There's a reason the Clippers are shopping him.

So Crawford is coming here. Afflalo to LA and first to Denver?

I'd cry. Please not Jamal.

Buzzkill.

Whatever--the rest of that is gold, Jerry--GOLD!

I've thought Afflalo would be a good fit for the Blazers for some time. I'd much prefer him to Chandler. I know he could bolt next year, but he'd also be insurance in case someone offers Matthews a truck full of money.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Didn't Olshey bring Jamal to the Clippers?

 

[BigGameDamian]

The Denver Nuggets are trying to move Ty Lawson and coach Brian Shaw wants George Hill, according to ESPN.com ... Four teams eyeing Reggie Jackson ... Celtics emerging as a contender for Goran Dragic ... Pacers open to trading Roy Hibbert ...

Not fucking Crawchuck AGAIN.

You're shooting 0% from the field, and yet you judge Jamal?

Kingspeed has never missed a shot in the playoffs.

@blazerbanter: Thomas Robinson was not made available to the media tonight.

 

[Scalma]

I also heard the league offices don't even open til tomorrow? Is that true?

 

[MAS RipCity]

It's either the calm before the storm or we're being set up for a major letdown (in terms of activity tomorrow).
