Would you trade Nic for Javale McGee?

[Blazinaway]

several guys on Wiz forum like this deal, would you do it straight across if it was available? I am leaning to yes but mind not made up yet. His contract situation is exactly the same as Nic's, RFA this coming summer.

In like 2 seconds the day before yesterday

LOL, I though you'd say that, but that was muy rapido!

 

[craigehlo]

No question. Yes.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Well for all those people that are throwing a fit about what we are going to pay Batum any center is going to get even more than so you better be prepared overpay him even more than Batum.

I like his game though.

 

[Blazinaway]

Pay Nic 8 mil or so and McGee like gets 10 mil at least as C's go high, who would you rather pay?

Bigs are different. A lot get overpaid. Wings are easier to find. Id do the trade in a heartbeat

 

[magnifier661]

Um any second! McGee is a solid big man and would be a young camby like player.

 

[HailBlazers]

Would you trade Wesley Mathews for Deandre Jordan!?!?

bit of apples to oranges I'd say

 

[magnifier661]

Yep. Though I doubt Washington would, having just drafted Vesley.

That and it's almost an unwritten rule that you don't trade a big for a small.

Apples to Oranges would be saying "would you trade David Beckham for Nic Batum." These guys are both basketball players and eligible to traded for one another so ...

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Batum gives them a guy who isnt a knucklehead. And I think he would flourish with john wall.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Portland would need to add more to this

I would assume that Camby would have to be included. Or Thomas and Johnson?

 

[RR7]

why would they want Camby, thomas or johnson?

Just to add a big to replace the one they traded. So they get a big for a big.

I think more along the lines of another young player or pick

Yes, this is closer to comparing limes and lemons.

 

[Eastoff]

I'd rather trade Gerald for Javale, but I know the salaries don't match. =\

And they'd rather get equal value

 

[Rastapopoulos]

GOD NO!

If you want to achieve the same effect, simply get Batum to wear stacked shoes and have him lobotomized.

What about the whole rebuilding thing eh? Rebuilding with Wallace now? Or is McGee going to lead us to a championship?? Can't we do Wallace + E. Williams for J. McGee + a forward contract like Blatche.

They have jordan crawford and nick young, no use for ewill. Batum, cash and 2nd rounders sound good to me for mcgee

 

[Rhal]

I may be in the minority but i tell the wizards no. McGee is a big whos offensive game is limited who looks lost on d and only seems to care about blocks. Id rather call up memphis and try to get speights.

You'd prefer a dude with no defense at all, who is a black hole on offense. Interesting.

 

[B-Roy]

I love Nic, but productive bigs are on another level.

Which is why Washington declines.

 

[PapaG]

I'm not sure why the Wizards would do this deal, but if it happened, Portland would have to throw in at least one first-round pick, if not two.

 

[Mediocre Man]

They wouldn't do this deal. People are just over valuing our players again

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Of course. It would be stupid not to.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Well both are going to be RFA and we know Nic likes Ptd. I would want the player that is likely going to be in Ptd on a long term contract.

I see the question as do you consider McGee the center of the future for the Blazers, because whatever team "gets" him will be paying him starting center salary and he will tie up a big chunk of salary cap.
