I personally think we'll see another under-the-radar move similar to getting Eric Maynor for next to nothing at last season's deadline.

Is this a joke? Eric Maynor had a weak rookie season in 2009 after being picked 20th, and has had an even worse season each and every season since. This year he's shooting a bit below his normally bad average at .292. The only question is why he's in the league.

I'd love to see a big name like Varejao or Hawes come over to shore up the frontline off the bench, but I don't think we have the available assets to get that done.

Neither is a "big name".

We got Maynor for a trade exception and a 2nd Round Pick. Who cares what he's putting up THIS year. When we got him LAST year, he was serviceable and allowed us to rest Lillard as much as we could. Anything was an upgrade over Smith and Price. Lastly, you are severely underrating Eric Maynor pre-ACL injury. Before that injury, he was widely considered to be one of the better backups in the league.

Because he is still one of the top 100 pg's in he world and his shooting percentage this season is irrelevant if he not playing consistent minutes. He is a PG not a SG. He has value.
 
answering the OP, yes I think Blazers make a move for a backup PF/C, something along the lines of a Hawes/Bass/Koufus etc
 
Re: ~~~The "OFFICIAL" 2014 trade deadline thread~~~

Batum for Deng?
 
According to Paul Allen, probably not. They'll listen to offers but nothing major is in the works. I think Stotts has a lot of confidence in these guys.

But Freeland has been doing so well. It will destroy morale to say to Joel that after all his work, he is now being replaced.
 
The name of my thread was so much better not to mention it was first!
 
I suggested Batum, Williams, Wright and Leonard for Deng and Varejao and someone thing it was a crappy idea. I think it would make us more of a legit contender.

the biggest worry for me is not getting a legit pg back in the deal. CJ might be able to play there for a bit but I'm not as confident as I am with Mo there. Varejao and Deng would be huge for us, Varejao would be a great 3rd big coming off the bench for us.

And Mo is a legit PG?
 
I get it... The board elected Scapegoat for having only the 4ht best record in the league is Mo... I will continue to adjust my expectations for this board accordingly.

Mo led the league in assists off the bench last I checked. Jamal would never ever accomplish this.

They both kill the offensive flow with a ton of dribbling and poor shot selection. Assists don't make you a point guard by default.
 
The New York Knicks are attempting to resume trade talks with the Denver Nuggets on a deal centered on Iman Shumpert for Kenneth Faried.

The Knicks were actively looking to trade Shumpert earlier in the season with Faried as a potential target.

The Knicks believe they have depth at Shumpert's position in J.R. Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr., which would allow the team to balance the roster.
 
if Freeland's knee is serious the need for a solid PF/C just became acute
 
Time to call on the Celtics to see what Brandon Bass will cost.
 
They have already stated that they intend not to make any moves unless something presents it's self that is too good to turn away. I would really like to see Portland address the bench issue as well as perimeter defense.

Isn't the only option left for Portland for the off-season is to either make a trade or sign someone via free agency due to out first round draft pick going to the Hornets to complete the Wallace trade?
 
Shump for Faried is an insult.

Denver already laughed off this idea earlier this season.
