trade game ...Would you? Your trade?

[1 Eye Jack]

Would you trade Raef, Travis and Bayless for Marion? yes or no

Your trade idea?

Rule
1. Make it work on a trade checker
2. Make it somewhat reasonable (no Lebron trades).

 

[Tortimer]

No, I wouldn't make that trade right now but if Bayless wasn't fitting in with the team by the trade deadline I would probably do this trade.

My trade:

Would you trade Outlaw and our next years 1st round pick for M.Miller SF Minn.

 

[BrianFromWA]

a) Why can't I trade for LeBron???

b) Marion's tough for me...I really put a premium on "non-chuckleheads". I don't deny his talent, and I can't say that he's a Z-bo-esque player or anything, but I don't like him enough to trade for him.

c) I'll have about 50 trades in just a minute.

PS: If I get it to work in 2k9, does it count as "reasonable"?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Because there's no way the cavs are even going to begin entertaining trades for James until next season and that's only if they feel he's a goner at the end of the season.

The Matrix a "chucklehead?" The guy wants a big contract and major role on a team, but he's a premier defender and wing and doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Z-Bo. My only beef with Marion is that he'd essentially be a rented player.

[Uther TheGardener]

i know he is good but i dont know if i would pull the trigger, not sure who at 3 i would trade for to be honest.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

How about Raef and Travis for GWallace (4 yr contract hurt a lot but talented) and Morrison (1 year throw in contract)?

 

[alex42083]

I'll pass on the trade. Who knows if Marion would want to re-sign here, and we'd get him for just one season.
And we may have our future SF in Nicolas Batum!

 

[drexlersdad]

raef and martell for vince carter. do it.

 

[Tortimer]

raef and martell for vince carter. do it.

I'm not sure. I think I rather have Marion then V.Carter especially with their contracts. Carter has a terrible contract and Marion has a great contract and I actually think Marion at this stage of his career is better.

Sure, I'd do that in a heartbeat. Morrisson, I assume, is just a throw-in as a favour to the Bobcats. He certainly has no real use to Portland. But he can be jettisoned and Gerald Wallace would be a great complimentary piece. Admittedly, I've not watched him play a lot recently, but my perception is that he's seen as a very good defender. In addition, he's only 25 and he's very productive.

That's why I said it was tough...my gut feeling about him is not good, but I don't have a good reason why. I know he's not ZBo, hence me saying he's not a Z-bo-esque player. He's talented, but I get a warm fuzzy about him.

How dare you say that! With Morrison and Steven Hill on the team these guys will never get in trouble in a casino. They will always have something to bet on - will Hill's beard be able to block Morrison's 'stache?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Would you trade

Outlaw, Webster, Diogu

for either of

Caron Butler or Tayshaun Prince

I would prefer Butler - since I think that we already have a Prince in the making in Batum...

 

[crowTrobot]

i would stand pat till we're sure what we have

Travis Outlaw | Shavlik Randolph | Ike Diogu

For

Hedo Turkoglu

---

We clear up some roster space.
We get a good veteran coming off his best year ever.
Great outside shooter.
I also think Hedo would fit in good with our guys.

Roy
Rudy
Hedo
LMA
Oden

You don't like that lineup?

Blake
Bayless
Batum
Frye
Joel

Not a bad 2nd unit?

 

[MaxaMillion711]

no marion please. his attitude is a big red flag to me. i think he needs a GREAT point guard to be good. so far in miami, hes done nothing and he clearly has shown that winning is definitely not his #1 priority.

check the latest portland podcast. they threw out stephen jackson, gerald wallace, shawn marion and vince carter. they seemed to kinda agree on carter. he would be like rasheed wallace going to the pistons. vince is very happy being a role player on the team if it means winning. not every day you find a talent who is like that.

I thought he said realistic.

 

[BenDavis503x]

I kinda like the idea of Carter. He always is injured is my major concern, but that doesn't matter because we have so much depth.

 

[MaxaMillion711]

He always is injured is my major concern

one of the great misconceptions in the league.

Carter is not injury prone, at least not since he joined the Nets. Among the top 50 players who’ve been in the league at least four years, Carter ranks fifth in terms of fewest games lost. He has missed only 14 games, tied for fifth with Dirk Nowitzki. Of that total, he’s missed nine with the Nets, none of which the team won. Even if the analysis covered five years rather than four, Carter is still in the top five, missing only 23 games.

0-10:
Tayshaun Prince (0); Dwight Howard (0); Andre Igoudala (6).

10-20:
Ben Gordon (12); Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki (14); Lebron James (16); Steve Nash (17); Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace (19).

compare that to...

Tracy McGrady (66)
Ray Allen (44)
Allen Iverson (34)
Paul Pierce (30)
Joe Johnson and Richard Hamilton (25)
Kobe Bryant (23)
Lebron James (16)

yet whenever i talk to people, they say carter is injured all the time and never plays

yes I am very biased cause I am huge VC/Blazer fan, but honestly, I think he would really give them a valuable piece that would raise their level of competitiveness. I just doubt the Nets would do it.

I'd do it. We give up a good prospect for an all star in one of our two most vulnerable positions.

 

[bigbailes]

don't know about the marion trade, he seems like kind of a prima-dona and not sure he'd fit in with this team. i think that VC would fit in better at this point in his career.

 

[JAFO]

i would stand pat till we're sure what we have

My sentiments exactly!! I Don't want Marion! Don't want Carter! And I don't think George Wallace is in any shape to play B-ball!.

JAFO

 

[BlazerFanForLife]

I think Steven the Crazy Jackson might fit well with this team, hes an imposing defender who can shoot the lights out, and it seems to me that Nate is the type of coach he may actually listen to. Then again he may just tune him out but i doubt that will happen with the rest of his teammates liking Nate

 

[MrJayremmie]

IDK why people want to trade Bayless. He just turned 20 years old, and has jawdropping potential and physical gifts. He is going to be a great, great player for us, on par with what Rudy will be for us in a couple years where i believe we will have a Fab 5 (and then Webster will be great also... i think those 6 are/will be our core players that we will lock down and then build around).

I may be in the minority, but i really like what we have at PG (Blake, Sergio, Bayless) and SF (Webster, Batum, Outlaw) for now while we continue to see what we exactly have.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I would prefer Butler - since I think that we already have a Prince in the making in Batum...

Yes please!! Although I think the Wizards are going to have to seriously stink it up this year for that to even be a possibility so they go into "blow it up" mode, and I have no doubt that it would probably take Raef's expiring deal, Channing, Bayless, Travis and taking back a bad contract at the minimum for them to begin considering it ... and I'd do it in a heart beat.
