You want Sergio? We want Lee, lets make a deal

Portland fan here. I can see POR trading Sergio, we'd like Lee. Obviously Serg is not near enough. How about some combo of Serg and then Outlaw/Frye/Webster and/or a pick? Maybe we take back Nate, maybe not.

We don't want Sergio that badly. He is simply an option for our trade exemption. We are better off tradign the exception to someone who is looking to not pay the tax and we'll get a pick out of it too.

We're looking for a SG that can handle the ball well enough to get 5 assists/game. You have anything like that on your roster? :lol:

If we take one of your small forwards, it would be Batum once he's eligible. TBH, there aren't many reasonable deals between Portland and NY.

Sergio is not nearly good enough to part with either Nate or Lee. I wouldn't mind him for 10-12 minutes a game so we could cut down Duhon's minutes to the low-mid 30's instead of his current 40.

The only player of real interest that you listed was Outlaw, but we already have a massive glut at the 3 position with Wilson, Q, Jeffries, Thomas and eventually Danilo. IMO, at this point, the only things NY is willing to trade for a backup guard is:

A) Trade Exception
B) Curry
C) Malik Rose

Aside from those 3 things, I dont see Walsh parting ways with Lee or Nate. If Sergio can't be had for that, we'll simply look somewhere else. Also, remember we're not neccessarily looking for a backup point guard. A backup guard who can handle the ball would fill the void we currently have too.

Ballboys don't usually represent the opinion of their board but okay. I think we'd want Pryzbilla to offset the loss of Lee and to get a big man next to Al Harrington.

Not sure how many more small fowards we want that might cloud minutes for Chandler.

Lee's the only player we have that can play Center. We lose him, we need another big man in return. Pryzbilla has a bad contract so Walsh won't take him

Why are you guys such dicks? Yeah, he was a little crazy saying maybe they will take nate back too, but i see the opportunity to make a deal that works for both sides.

Jeffries
Lee

Outlaw or Webster ( i prefer Webster because of 3 point shooting and ability to play 2)
Sergio
Frye

That trade works out for both teams. We get three players perfect for this system. Insert Frye at starting C ( i hate him but he could look ok in this system?) If you still dont like it ask for the rights to one of their guys like Freeland or Kopponen. I know most of oyu had a hard on for Bayless, so you could substitute him in for Sergio (portland wouldnt do it)

I am assuming this deal was meant to remove the Jeffries $6 million salary from 2010, however, Webster is signed for $5 millino for 2010 then you add Frye who is a free agent this season and Sergio and I really don't see what we accomplished except use Lee to save $1 million.

Yeah, I think our best bet is try to try for the trade exception and a second round pick or something like that.

ITGM · Post #14 » by **ITGM** » Mon Dec 8, 2008 4:46 pm

We want Roy and maybe, just maybe we'll take back Aldrige, but you'd might have to throw some cash considerations in the mix.

Post #15 » by **duetta** » Mon Dec 8, 2008 4:46 pm

Throw in at least #1 pick and we can talk.

Sergio and Webster for D-Lee --- sign me up.

D'Antoni may eventually end up liking David Lee is he continues to play like this.......

If we trade him, we MUST get a rebounder back. Lee has saved us time and time again with his unseemly ability to channel Charles Barkley statlines.

That being said I'd love Fernandez on this team. He's a perfect fit......but if we have no one to rebound the misses, what is the point.

Post #19 » by **duetta** » Mon Dec 8, 2008 5:00 pm

And contrary to what D'Antoni was saying, yesterday we saw vintage Jeffries on offense.

Hold on - I didn't realize Webster was signed for $5M thru 2010 (that seems a tad steep).

How about Lee for Sergio, Batum and rights to Kopponen?
