STEIN_LINE_HQ Three-way trade possibility in @chadfordinsider piece: Hinrich to LAL; Outlaw/Blake/Juwan Howard/Morrison to CHI; Ty Thomas/Vujacic to POR
UPDATE:
via Marc Stein Twitter
Never has a trade deadline passing without the Blazers doing anything sounded so good.
So ur pro this trade???
Not without our help (apparently).The rich get richer I suppose....*sigh*
Lakers getting Hinrich for Morrison and Vujacic is crazy. Only LA could do that.
Uh, no.

Only if she sits on our bench instead of him.

I have to agree. Kirk is the best player in the deal and it plugs a needs at PG for them.
It would suck if we helped the Lakers without making them give up more talent.
He is also owed 8-9 million through the 2012 season..Hinrich's last 3 years he's had PERs of 13.1, 13.9, and a 10.4 this season. For a comparison, Steve Blake has had PERs of 12.0, 14.4, and an 11.4 this season.
I see Hinrich as being vastly overrated.
Could we possibly swing Vujacic for something better or more useful for us? Any ideas out there?
James Jones from Miami (or do they desperately want the cap space of an expiring, this year)
Kurt Thomas and something Milwaukee doesn't want?
Dalembert somehow?
There's gotta be something out there that makes sense. Maybe we want Tyrus to flip him to Minnesota for a contract and the rights to Rubio?
And do you think Howard gets cut and comes back to us if this goes through?

If that could be done I think Chicago would do that deal and run a Rubio/Rose backcourt.
Come on, man!

I like adding Thomas. I really don't care if Vujacic is on our team. Let him rot. I'd actually rather he rot on our bench so I never have to see him on the floor again. Let him fill the role of Raef. Scrub at large. It would be funny if we ended up with both Aldridge and Thomas though. With that said, we don't give up much and we get a guy with tons of potential. Nice backup power forward. He shouldn't be too expensive this summer either.
I love the idea of getting rid of Blake and Outlaw though. I don't see us signing them this summer so it's all good. We give up three guys who have very little chance of being here next year, and we get a guy who could very easily be a big part of our future. Good deal imo.

I'm coming around to this way of thinking, but I'm telling you reading some of the posts in here have been brutal; basically everything I see looks like this in my head:
Why the supreme Vujacic hatred? It's not like he's the floppiest guy, the most arrogant guy, the worst player or a Blazers-killer. He seems like a very meh bench player...nothing to get excited about positively or negatively.
I've already stated earlier, I have no rational reason to hate the guy as much as I do ... but holy shit, do I hate him.

Buzz Killington is a trader!![]()
Well, Derek Fisher's PER this year is 9.3.
Hinrich may not be the best player in the deal, but he's really the most significant upgrade for any of the teams involved. And I think if you put him in the Lakers' system where all he's really asked to do is bring the ball up, play defense and shoot threes, his PER will look a lot better.
That said, I'd be ok with this deal. If I thought we were a contender next year and the Lakers were our biggest impediment, I might think differently.
