What do you guys think?

Minnesota trades:
Sessions, rights to Rubio

Portland trades:
Steve Blake

I think you should replace the world 'legs' in your username to 'ass'

Throw in Antonio Daniels for Brandon Roy and we'll consider it.

Seriously, are you dumb?

I'm confident that this is just a really unfunny attempt at humor, because nobody could be that stupid.

Can't see the Wolves trading either of those guys alone for Steve Blake, let alone BOTH of them.

I don't even think the OP is a Blazer fan.

There are two fundamentally different views of Jefferson.

1: He is the second coming of Shaq/Hakeem/Admiral etc..... only better. This seems to be held by most Wolves fans, but a few other people agree.

2: He is a PF playing out of position with little ability or interest in defense, and he has had a bad injury. As others have said, a better version of ZBo.

I assume those two views is how we get hilarious threads like this.

What an idiot..
Jefferson will be on the level of "Shaq/Hakeem/Admiral"? I don't think there is a single Wolves fan on this board that would say something like that.

Oh, I didn't even notice that other thread :lol:

By putting Shaq, Hakim and Admiral in the same sentence he shows his ignorance even more. How are those players even alike?

ok, he's right about the Shaq comparison i think. Brute force low post option with amazingly solid footwork and can block a few shots and rebound at a fair rate. also lacks commitment to defense (which i think Jefferson still has a chance to change) the others... they are all have feet... and hair... they're all black too i guess. thats where it ends i think.

when Shaq was in his prime I'm sure guards were afraid driving into the lane while Shaq was waiting for them so I'm not sure if your comparison is somewhat close. the only thing they have in common IMO is that both look kinda chubby.

Al is much more finesse in the low post. Shaq was a much more powerful low post player.

when shaq retires Jefferson will be the best low post scorer in the game. Yes he does have very good footwork and is amazingly agile, but you cannot tell me he doesn't use his girth and power in his post game. Watch KG, now THAT is finesse at it's finest. watch Al's dunk on Yao, that is power. No he is not as powerful as shaq. but who is. Shaq is like 7'1" 350-450lbs, thats at least 75lbs heavier than Jefferson, of course he is more powerful. last year Jeff had 1.7 blocks a game, thats by no means fearocious, but its a fairly good chunk and its getting better. in his slender years shaq was an amazing blocker 3+ a game at one point. But Shaq at this point gets his blocks in a very similar fashion to how Al does on help plays, they also do it at a pretty comperable clip. (shaq at 1.6, 1.2, 1.4 the last 3 years)
