Milwaukee-Portland

Village Idiot · Post #1 » by **Village Idiot** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 9:44 pm

With Redd out for the year it's pretty clear that Bucks won't make the playoffs this year despite a promising start.

This isn't the first time I've posted this deal but now it seems like an obviously good deal for both teams.

Milwaukee trades:

Richard Jefferson
Salary: $13,200,000 Years Remaining: 3
PTS: 17.3 REB: 4.8 AST: 2.2 PER: 14.08

Francisco Elson
Salary: $1,700,000 Years Remaining: 1
PTS: 2.6 REB: 2.4 AST: 0.5 PER: 8.80

Portland trades:

Travis Outlaw
Salary: $4,000,000 Years Remaining: 2
PTS: 11.5 REB: 4.0 AST: 1.0 PER: 14.39

Raef LaFrentz
Salary: $12,722,500 Years Remaining: 1

2009 1st- top 3 protected

Richard Jefferson would be an ideal SF for the Blazers. His scoring ability, leadership and playoff experience is just what the Blazers need.

The Bucks get a decent replacement for RJ in Outlaw and save a ton of money both this year and the next two.

as a blazer fan, I'd reject that deal.

It's overpaying for someone like RJ who has such an enormous contract that runs past the 2010 off-season. And by overpaying I mean you're giving up essentially 2 expiring contracts for a major salary impact contract like RJ's. And adding the draft pick is unnecessary IMO.

the most I'd offer would be Martell Webster, Lafrentz & the 2010 1st for RJ. Elson isn't nedded in that trade for salary purposes and it's just dumb for portland roster-wise to give up their backup PF for yet another SF when webster would still be on the roster

so no deal on the original trade

Deal. No take backs.

To get Outlaw and a first I'd make the filler CV who would help fill some of Outlaws scoring off the bench. Doubt Portland does it still though.

I think Jefferson's $15 mil player option for the valueable 2010-11 season would mean that POR would not give Outlaw and a 1st. Maybe Webster with Raef.

Webster and Raef are more attractive trade pieces to me.

It'd have to be Webster cuz Portland has no one to backup Aldridge at PF... no one that is any good anyways. If Outlaw were to go, perhaps the Bucks don't pick up the option this summer and Outlaw can resign with the Blazers? hahahahaha

I think Bucks would actually do this - because there's not much else they can do to be able to afford to re-sign Villa and perhaps Sessions.

That's a pretty competitive offer imo. CV probably wouldn't have any problem filling Outlaw's spot at the backup forward position.

Portland would still be left with a pretty big logjam at SF with Jefferson, Batum and Webster though. Then Portland has to resign CV, which makes this idea less attractive.

Personally, I'd rather just make the deal as simple as possible which means I still like the Raef + Webster + Pick for RJ deal the best, but the CV for Outlaw version is interesting.
