Trade Coming........

[ABM]

Miller, Przybilla, Fernandez, and Bayless

to San Antonio for...

Parker and McDyess























(kidding, but would you do it?)

 

[Pinwheel1]

Of course. Which makes me even more pissed off about your thread.

Sure why not? It's not like the Blazers have a chance in hell of winning a title as it stands now. Might as well go out in a shower of sparks.

There have been worse threads.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yes I'd do it ...

ps. ABM, your thread titles suck

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Yes I'd do it ...

ps. ABM, you suck

FIXED!!

 

[Pinwheel1]

No doubt. Many of them from you. And even though I suspected it was total BS, you still had my hopes up for a few seconds.

 

[ABM]

PS: I'm sitting here enjoying burgers (cooked on my gas grill, no less ) with BLAZER PROPHET and he egged me on to post this ridiculous thread.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well with the Blazers imminent signing of Wes Matthews to a 5 year 25 million dollar offer sheet maybe there is a trade in the works -- like a sign and trade for Matthews where Rudy goes back to the Jizz?

I agree that all signs are pointing to Portland getting Chris Paul.

 

[Natebishop3]

Sigh..... I wish people weren't so bored that they have to create threads like this. Where is Mixum and PapaG when you need em?

 

[Biggie]

Highly doubt were making a trade without an official GM. We might be having trade conversations but nothing will happen until we see a GM signed.

You lie like a dog. And even after I helped you take that huge TV to the Goodwill. That said, if given the chance, I would have egged you on.

I jest about Rudy being used in a sign and trade here (he'll be used somewhere else).

But even though you're joking (?) I actually I think you're half right. If they get Matthews I'm guessing they think he and Babbitt can split time at the 3 and provide adequate production and his acquisition means giving up Nic as part of a trade for Paul won't mean we're relying on an untested rookie to fill the minutes at the three. Even if the Paul trade is just a pipe dream, if nothing else it means that they will have a surplus of attractive pieces that can be cobbled together in an effort to get a trade done for some high quality player.

Yeah, I was kidding that every move points to getting Paul. I think acquiring Paul is a pipe dream simply because I can't bring myself to believe that such a great player could be dealt. But IF a Paul trade were going to happen, the types of moves Portland is doing right now would be consistent with preparing for that.

So, that's something, I guess.

I bet they would jump at the opportunity of making a trade without a GM. In their eyes it would make a point. That point being that it isn't/hasn't been about one guy in the Blazer front office this whole time. It has been a team effort. (not saying it is true, just that they would like us to think that)

So if there is an opportunity they will take it. I just am not sure there will be an opportunity to make that "big" trade.

There have been worse threads.

Name one!

 

[ABM]

Name one!

FAMS thread for starters.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Name one!

Nearly any started by Mixum or KS.

They are also consistent with a boring and uneventful off-season.

So, that's nothing, I guess.

so many fake threads lately...

Tis the time of the year.

...of course there has to be a trade coming soon!!! I am still waiting for a rebounding monster PF off the bench and a GOOD PG.

I think a lot of people aren't giving Pendergraph the benefit of the doubt. I think he is a solid rebounder off the bench. We have a good PG, but our SG doesn't like playing with him.

 

[jlprk]

We have no good threads because of that no-good, Allen. If Pritchard were still around we'd be hopping with threads and trades up the gazoo.

 

[MARIS61]

Nope.

 

[Denny Crane]

Deng put his Northbrook IL house on the market.

 

[tlongII]

I would not make that deal. Parker is overrated.

 

[Nikolokolus]

He'd better give back that finals MVP trophy then.

 

[tlongII]

So he won a Finals MVP. Big deal. He was playing against a Cleveland team with absolutely no decent point guard. Parker has no reliable outside shot. He also doesn't get enough assists for my taste.
