BruceO. We have a trade thread for this. You have now posted this trade in three different threads in this forum plus one more in the Portland forum. We get it. You like this trade. I don't.

BruceO - I agree that the Wiz need a major shake up, but this isn't it. Hell no and...

IBTL!

LOL at posting a trade on the Trailblazers board. They think Batum is the next Scottie Pippen. They notoriously overate their players.

Booooooooooooooooooooo!

You lose!

actually it's Rudy they like. I started this so I don't have to ask elsewhere. Obviously I don't think our hating or loving this will lead to a trade. But it opens up a conversation of how good we think Caron is as a championship player at the 3 spot.

edited to say it's fair for blazers to overrate their players. they are 15-7 and young.
No one has made a valid argument against it. Instead i'm being accused of taking up space. I'm isolating it to one thread. You can disagree or not but it's a valid topic that puts a greater microscope on this teams makeup and caron in particular.

can we move this thread now? it's cluttering up useful forum space.

Could we post this in the OT form as well.
