What Would The Blazers Have To Do

Makes sense. How odd is it that both Soup Juggler and now MCW are both rumored to be on the block.

Stay away from certain schools
You'll thank me for the advice
Really look at the success of players from certain schools
Ask yourselves if you'd want any of them
Can any break the mold before Boeheim retires?
Ultimately you will see I am right
So like Bobby Knight so eloquently put it, If rape is inevitable, just lay there and accept it
Enough of this post

There is nothing wrong with MCW though lol he seems like a good guy and put up 17/6/6 with 2 steals his rookie year. The only reason he would get traded is because Exum is only going to be 19 by the start of the season and MCW is going to be 23.
 
You're showing us that Frye has better shooting percentages, a better USG/PER radio, and an identical Ortg-Drtg differential. So, Frye is a slightly better Lamarcus Aldridge? :devilwink:

No, I'm showing you that one guy is an all-star who averages 23 and 11 and the other is a journeyman who doesn't do much of anything. Sometimes, it's just that simple.

I regret even being baited into this discussion.

You must have missed the devil-wink smiley. My post was intended to highlight the intentional stat cherry-picking necessary to come to that sort of conclusion.

I don't think anyone (except Cmeese) actually thinks that LA is no more than a "slightly better Channing Frye". Some assertions are so ridiculous as to be unworthy of direct response.

Lol. Sorry. I thought I was in bizzaro land where more than one human actually harbors that belief.
 
Get an organization-wide lobotomy...

LA is expendable, Lillard is not, neither Batum or Matthews can get us a top 10 pick let alone top 5 so if Portland was going to trade someone for Exum it would be LA. Cleveland is likely the only option and as nice as it would be for Portland to swing a deal. Not even the Cavs are dumb enough to trade #1 overall in a loaded draft and other assets for a slightly better version of Channing Frye.
Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick. You can't be serious...

Give Frye 22 shots a game and 36 minutes and I bet you he puts up 20 points 8 rebounds. During much of the regular season LA was an inefficient volume shooter, he is a decent defender, his passing has improved and with Lopez boxing out everyone in sight LA turned into a decent rebounder.

The balanced player we saw against Houston in the playoffs was a different player than regular season LA, he was not the passive jump shooter who coasted to good scoring numbers by hoisting up 22 shots a night mostly from 18-22 feet. He still had a mid range game but he also punished people on the block and fought hard for rebounds rather than collecting a few extra ones a night because his center is a team player. Houston series LA was as close to he has come to being a complete player.

That LA is nothing like Channing Frye but that player is not the same as regular season LA.

If LA was traded to the Cavs I highly doubt that they would get anything more than a jump shot happy passive Lamarshmellow content to let his contract expire and become a FA? At that rate the Cavs would be better off giving Channing Frye 22 shots a night and keeping Thompson, Waiters and the #1 pick.

"Coasted," lol.

I want some of what you're taking...

LA probably attempted more shots in the paint during the Houston series than he did in any month during the regular season. While coasting might be too harsh he certainly was a lot more passive than physical during the regular season especially compared to the Houston series.

So... Lillard all of a sudden isn't expendable? Even after that fantastic Mike Conley trade idea you had? Shocking.

Wait a few days. He'll do another 180, and then act offended when people call him on it.

He showed leadership swagger and delivered in the clutch, while his defense is still weak his other traits were dynamic. I still love Conley but Lillard made me a believer.

It doesn't make any difference. Stats are all that matter.........That's why Frye is always mentioned in the best PF's in the game conversations.
