That's fair, it is a low risk situation. I still think its crucial to look for players who will fit into the system, especially when you have a team that is 29-8 midway through the season. I don't think you want to change the benches identity with just over half of the games remaining before playoffs. Stuckey isn't a very good shooter, and not very long. I'm not sure he would be effective if teams are clogging the paint and taking away his penetration.

Yeah he isn't a shooter by any means, more of a slasher but luckily for him he could have any of Blake, Crabbe, CJ, Leonard, Dame, Wes, LA or Kaman to kick out to if the middle is clogged

I will tell you mine. Kobe is done. Fried. So unless he just wanted to retire and we got pure cap space out of it....

I don't think he is. He might need to get healthy. But I don't think he is done. I think he still hungry to win but he is not going to do it there. He is wasting any ounce of resources he has on something that is going no where. He wants to beat Michael in Titles. Well, give him the opportunity.

Can you honestly with a straight face tell us that you'd want Kobe taking some of Dame and LA's shots away?

I think Kobe is professional enough to know and understand whose team this is and who would need to fit in.

bottomline, I've had my fill of Nic.

LOL no, Kobe would demand the ball in crunch time and would sulk when Dame gets the nod and takes the glory, did you forget his reaction to Nick Young's game winner?

Now tell me your true feelings on such a trade. Peer pressure aside.

That contract kills our chances of retaining Wes, Rolo, and LA. I also don't think there is any chance he comes in and doesn't mess up chemistry. I can see him during the first practice "alright boys yall got to 29-8 and have been playing great, but now I'm in charge and I'll be calling the shots." I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he wanted the last shot over Lillard as well.

Two different Situations. I would obviously want to make sure his mind is right and focused on the right things before making a move. But I personally think know that he is going to be surroundered by good character guys and even more winners. He will submit to what's going on.

No, it just means if we retain them all then we pay a buttload in tax. We can bring everyone back if we wanted to.

But there are many other reason not to want the Kobe deal.

I just don't seeing it happening. Kobe is an Alpha Dog. Moving to POR isn't going to change the mindset with him imo. It is who he is moreso then mindset.

Dude, if Kobe wouldn't submit to a Pau and Dwight frontcourt nothing will change.

Got it. Good points. I think he would submit.

I'd love to see his reaction when Damian waved him off to go for his own ISO lol he would show his underbite and then chase down a water buffalo after the game.

I think Kobe is intelligent enough to know that his days as the man are over. In the right dynamic with LA, he would have realized this. The question, is does he want to compete for championships for the rest of his career. What's left of it. Or burn the remaining resources he has in a situation that is going no where. Mentally, he would have to adjust. But the dude is smart. He's still a great defender. And he has a chance to help.
 
I was wondering how this had 3 pages of replies already... i wonder about it no longer.

And here I sit desperately trying to come up with another under the radar acquisition so that this doesn't go down as the "trade for K*be thread".
 
To rank the 4 trades I came up with in order of which I think would have the biggest impact.
  1. Gerald Green
  2. CJ Miles
  3. Wesley Johnson
  4. Danny Granger
I would make the moves in this order
  1. Miles
  2. Johnson
  3. Green
  4. Granger
 
I can't wait for February, when we make our big free agent acquisition: a new starting center! He's got a great reputation, is totally Portland, and was the lead shot blocker on a great western conference team earlier this year. Then we can move Kaman back to his spot off the bench, and not have to rely on Freeland or Leonard for too long. Should really shore up our bench!

For Wroten, you could easily use T.Rob. Philly lacks a PF and T.Rob isn't good enough to hurt their tank

Oh my...if they'd take that I'd do it in a 1/4 of a heartbeat, and I like Truck.

Well considering they want to tank and their biggest hole is PF, he would be the perfect fit. Also, truck has a ton of talent and would be the perfect player for a rebuilding team.
 
I've liked wroten for a long time but I don't really see the fit. He needs the ball in his hands and he's not much of a shooter. Might as well just give CJ more minutes.
