Blazers & Phoenix: Get PHO a center who

waverider · Post #1 » by **waverider** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 10:07 pm

can play D and the Blazers a PG for the Future to pair with Roy.

Blazers trade PRYZBILLA and one of the following:
Jack/Sergio/Webster/Outlaw/Blake

for BARBOSA and whatever filler necessary. Any interest?

Barbosa's definitely not a PG, so I don't think Portland would benefit much if they plan on utilizing Barbosa as a PG. He's definitely an undersized 2 guard.

Roy is a PG, if Barbosa can handle the ball decently, play D on the small quick guys and shoot the ball well that is what POR could use.

Barbosa has more value than that. Pryzbilla is terrible

Przybilla can be a monster shotblocker/rebounder, but he seems to need at least 30mpg to get in his groove.

I did offer the choice of an addition player amigo. Webster/Frye/Outlaw/Blake/Jack, that makes it fair IMO. Maybe too fair if its Outlaw who is playin great ball.

That's why Phoenix has no use of him. He won't be a starter, and he won't be getting 30mpg unless both Amare and Marion/Diaw got injured.

no, he's not that good. Not worth Barbosa.

but Jack and Outlaw sounds a lot closer. fillers are needed

I do believe Outlaw would fit in with PHX better than Pryzbilla, maybe a similar deal?

i hate barbosa he is a ball hog and we dont need him, pryzbilla will be a great backup when oden comes and you guys wont even get a chance at outlaw so dont even think about it

Przybilla never plays 30+ minutes so I'm not sure where the notion about his effectiveness being limited to games in which he plays big minutes came from.

That said, I can't imagine the Suns giving up Barbosa for anything Portland would offer.

no not recently, but in the past couple years he's had some strings of games playing big minutes and you see lots of 15, 17 rebounds, 5 blocks kinda games

Przybilla is one of the league's best rebounders, shot blockers, and defensive players. Hes not terrible. With Oden having Microfracture knee surgery we need Joel as a back-up. Hes a fan favorite in Portland for his toughness and dedication to this team. He isn't going anywhere as of now.

Barbosa is an interesting player but hes a fast break type player more suited for the Suns or Golden State type offense. The Blazers play at the 2nd slowest pace in the NBA to increase their effeciency in the half court.

I dont think that would mesh well...

Barbosa isn't really a PG, he's more of a combo guard. Seems like we already have that possition filled with that other guy we took from you last draft named Rudy Fernandez.

We also have several PG's of the future in Rodriguez (from the Suns), Peteri Koponen and heck even Steve Blake is only 2 years older than Barbosa. And as mention before, I'm not sure Barbosa would thrive in our system.
