Would You???

[OSUBlazerfan]

Rudy, Jeff Pendergraph, and our 22nd Pick for Minnesota’s 4th???

And pick up Favors or whoever else the Blazers are targeting?

 

[Nikolokolus]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ummm ... *cough* ... yes.

(I'd maybe also trade Bayless, Mills and Claver plus the 22nd pick to move up to 1st and take Wall).

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Yes, I'd do that; but Minny wouldn't unless under the influence.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

I think (honestly) this is a reasonable package

 

[BrianFromWA]

Concur. I'm not sure why Rudy and JP = 18 spots in the draft, but I'll play your game.

EDIT: Concur with Nik, not ^^

 

[Nikolokolus]

How?

 

[Blazinaway]

Then you are dreaming my friend, that is horrible for Minny

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Possibly because its the only way they get rubio over???

I guess im undervaluing the #4 pick

 

[Nikolokolus]

This.

 

[noknobs]

I think the #22 for the #4 straightup is pretty reasonable, but if we have to add Pendy to the mix, I say nay.

 

[Draco]

No I wouldn't, that's just giving up too much value.

I'd want to see at the least Kevin Love added into this trade. But I'd possibly be willing to include a future second round pick.

 

[Draco]

Oh heck no, it’s not worth that much. The #22 has a lower salary for FOUR years plus a lower qualifying offer amount on the 5th year. The #22 let’s them cut future salary, so if anything it is worth just a bit MORE than the #4. I think they should have to send us a nice young player just so we allow them to swap picks.

I can't tell if the last few posts were serious or sarcastic....

Oh I think you can. Don't sell yourself short.

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh I think you can. Don't sell yourself short.

Most of the time you would be right, however sometimes the homerism on this board knows no bounds.

 

[LameR]

This thread is lawl.

Rudy, Jeff Pendergraph, and our 22nd Pick for Minnesota’s 4th???

Right now it's 13-1 in favor. I imagine if you put this question on Minnesota's forum, the results would be 1-13 against.

 

[Minstrel]

No. Rudy would be an All-Star on any other team, Pendergraph is the next PJ Brown and the #22 pick will be converted by Pritchard into another Rudy.

The #4 pick is nice and all, but not worth gutting our future for.

Man, why do all the trades suggested on this forum hose Portland?

 

[Wheels]

umm....

 

[Draco]

No. Rudy would be an All-Star on any other team, Pendergraph is the next PJ Brown and the #22 pick will be converted by Pritchard into another Rudy.

Ok you’re just being silly saying that the #22 will be converted into another quality player, the draft is unpredictable and a bit of a crap shoot. Yes the #22 has value, especially in a year such as this with a deep talent pool, but we don’t know what kind of player it would ultimately fetch. It could be a Michael Redd or Carlos Boozer but it just as easily could be a CJ Brunson or Sergi Monya….

However you do bring up a great point about Rudy, we would be trading them an All-star level talent, which would help them bring over Rubio, who is another all-star talent. So we’d essentially be trading two all-stars, a first round pick in one of the deepest drafts in years, and a rising young big man with 4 years of college experience who has made the playoffs his entire NBA career… All we want in return is the overpaid #4 pick, I bet Minnesota would jump all over that trade in a second.

2 things

1. Who in the FUCK said no to this?

2. Why in the FUCK would Minnesota do this?

It's a public poll. You can look.

[Pinwheel1]

I said yes even though I have no idea how good Wes Johnson or Greg Monroe is. (Cousins has dropped to 7th on www.nbadraft.net)

For all we know Pendergraph may end up being as good as Monroe.

 

[andalusian]

Right now it's 13-1 in favor. I imagine if you put this question on Minnesota's forum, the results would be 1-13 against.

So, overall, 50/50 you say?

Is there any way to ban those who vote no for being completely out of their minds, and extreme homers?

 

[Draco]

I like your thought process!

By the same idea we could offer Patty Mills for Kevin Durant. 95% of Portland would be for it and 95% of OKC would be against it, but if you average it out it's 50/50 and a fair deal

 

[Minstrel]

Is there any way to ban those who vote yes for being completelyout of their minds, and extreme homers?

Yes, we can ban all the people who voted "yes." Being willing to trade Rudy, for pretty much anything, is ridiculous.

You have just banned the internet.

The people who vote "no" should be banned. Yes, it's a ridiculously one-sided deal, but the question was not whether it was fair, but whether we would do the deal.

Of course we would. Except those homers who think Rudy will make the HoF (I think he'll be capped at 7 all-star appearances, although Pendergraph will make it for waving a towel under the Cornbread Exception).

I messed up. Yes, whoever voted no should be banned. I will fix it.
