#13 for Fernandez+#22 (Deal dead, pg. 26)

Post #1 » by **Maritimer** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 1:03 am

The Raptors have had serious talks today with the Portland TrailBlazers about a deal that would send the 22nd pick and Rudy Fernandez to Toronto for the 13th pick. The Blazers have been very aggressive about getting up into the lottery, but have been reluctant to part with both Fernandez and the 22nd pick to do it.

That would be such a bad trade for us... really Rudy? :-?

Wow, proposed this trade like a couple days ago.

Terrible.
Rudy is overrated, and we already have too many SGs.

Horrible move... this deal is realistic for that reason alone.

Not feeling it, as much as I like Rudy.

Unless Rudy can play the point, I don't really like this all that much for us.

Funny...last year most would've traded pick 9 for Rudy. Things change

Almost every trade possible gets proposed at least once.

I would do this for Toronto.. More Euros please! (but srsly) Moving down 11 spots in a 4 person draft is worth Rudy.

Why the hell would they do this?

Didn't New York offer Wilson Chandler straight up for Rudy? If we can turn it into a 3-way with Wilson Chandler coming here with 22nd and Rudy going to NY, I'd do it.

Why? Rudy is a rotation player. Furthermore, someone we like is going to be available at #22 (Bradley could easily slip). I'd rather be moving up than down, but this is fair value in a fairly flat draft.

Yeah, I'd definitely do that too.

Patty Mills is a guy I would like thrown in on any deal with the Blazers.
