'Short' time till the Draft

[jeffhardyfan52]

I'm assumeing oden isent in the deal since tbpup mentioned
that oden Roy arnt being talked about in the deal
I will trade anyone on this team besides oden Roy and batum
but saddly I think batum is involved and that will make me very sad
I love batum


Tbpup u didn't respond to my post lol

[Mr Odd]

he might end up better, but if you paid attention you'll notice that Wallace was one of only 3 players I listed as being willing to include Batum in the trade for; the other two being Bosh and Paul

Sorry, I just ignored the other two & focused
on Wallace because I dont believe Bosh nor
Paul would ever be traded to the Blazers.

[Wizenheimer]

His weakness is 3pt shooting of course. But if it's a choice between the weak 3pt shooting of Wallace or the weak knees of Granger, I'll take Wallace

I find this to be an extremely odd distinction, considering that Wallace has a much more extensive injury history than Granger. Wallace averages 60 games a year for his career. Granger averages 74.

you need to toss out the numbers from Wallace's first 3 seasons in Sacramento. A ton of the games he missed were due to DNP-CD, not injury. He only started 8 games in those 3 seasons

I know he has had injuries as well....mainly concussion (Crash) and of course the collapsed lung suffered against the Lakers. On the other hand, Granger was compared to Roy. That may be true in the knee department as well.

I prefer to only have a one player on the team with no meniscus in a knee, not two players, especially with Oden around

Hey Pup, if you're still around how are the trade talks progressing? Have they improved at all to where a deal may get done? Is it still about 50/50? Have they stalled a bit or looking like nothing may happen? I would like to know.

I've heard nothing today that would make me think anything has changed from where it was other than it seems like the other team may be asking for more now. Haven't we all heard this before.

Give them more!!
Sometimes more is less & less becomes more!!

Give them all the draft picks in the world. Give them one of Batum or Aldridge (unless it is for Paul or Bosh then give them both), give them Rudy, and if it is a PG give them Miller. Heck give them Bayless or Webster if needed. It ends after those guys, though.

[DusterBuster]

I don't know what player Portland is talking about, but if it's a perennial All Star under 30 years old, give them anything they want that's not named Brandon Roy imo.

[TBpup]

Not asking for much are we.... I love it that we as fans aim high.

But I'm willing to give up nearly anything on the roster to get it.

Depending on who the Blazers get in return I would
trade anyone on this team, almost any two for one
on this team other then Roy, if the returned player
is good enough to justify.. .and I dont mean like a
superstar in return. Then again im one who believes
in the here & now, prooven players and I tend to not
put a ton into potential players.. .but that leaves you
open to a player becoming better down the line then
who you got in return for. So um, yeah thats 'bout it.

[jeffhardyfan52]

Hmm sounds like the all star could be older then 30

[DusterBuster]

It does?

[EGame]

Where is the source for that? If so I would NOT deal both Aldridge and Batum, unless his name is Dirk (he is over 30, right)?

What's with the age bit? It was just mentioned that someone would like a multi-time all-star under 30 and I commented tongue-in-cheek that they weren't asking for much.

[EGame]

Hey out of curiosity, if the trade dies down/doesn't go through, do you have the right to tell who the team was we were talking to and for what player? Obviously you can't now, but if the deal ends up not going through can you then? I would be curious as hell as to what it is if it doesn't go down.

[jeffhardyfan52]

I was reading between the lines
I guess I struck out on that one

Lmao - Canzano just asked Pritchard a question I submitted via text message that was word for word without acknowledging it was a text. I mean word for word.

Not surprising. That guy is a total douche

LOL. Which one was it?

[The Sebastian Express]

Canzano never gives credit nor acknowledges when he is wrong.
