Channing Frye

[Harry10]

i'm not a huge fan...... but wouldn't he compliment Horford's game?

[ATLfan]

Channing is everything we would want David Andersen to be and either one would open up the court for our wings to get inside and score.

[Harry10]

i really hope they don't force DA to play center.

To me it is kind of a toss up between Channing Frye, Charlie Villanueva and David Andersen. I like what I've seen from DA in the smattering of European games I've seen, but I'm not sure how well that translates to the NBA. If it does then he has more of ability to play in the defensive post than the other 2 who are considered soft PFs. Frye and Villanueva were lottery picks and will be coming off their rookie deals after this year. I'm not sure if Andersen is more or less expensive in comparison.

I do know that the above offer is bad. Frye/Jones/2nd for Marvin is more equitable although Jones can opt out of his deal. Frye/Jack/2nd for Marvin is also somewhat equitable but doesn't work under the cap rules. While I feel those are equitable, I still would do them because it the risk is completely on our GM. If Marvin explodes this season, Portland got him for expiring spare parts from the same draft. Frye and Jones are role players that help with our depth, but don't merit a long term investment. If Marvin flops, he didn't cost them much in the grand scheme.

dumb trade beyond measure.Doesn't make any sense at all,it makes us worse.First of all we ARE NOT trading Acie,he's our furture starting PG,and starting Jack is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE downgrade.I'd want Jack to backup Acie but not that,that's horrible.That trade is totally lopsided,and who the heck is Reed?,who the heck is SmotheThat post almost made me throw up my breakfast.

Does the David Andersen fantasy have a deadline? When will we hear if he is coming to our team?

I see a lot of comments here, but nothing from the team has come out as far as I know.

KISS

Frye and Jack for Marvin works better and seems more probable.

Thats pretty generous of you, considering Jones may opt out and Jack is a wash.. so for the blazers it would be Frye for Marvin and Acie ...

But seriously - not a great deal for you guys as Marvin had a great run in the playoffs and Bibby will soon be done.

If I were you, much rather have another banger with Horford than a soft PF..

[JoshB914]

^^^ Agree with most of that. Except for that part about Marvin being good in the playoffs. He was a liability for six of seven games.

[massey1992]

I would think that the Hawks would be interested in acquiring Frye. He could be a solid addition to their team.

[PhilipNelsonFan]

He's yours for your 2009 first-rounder. (Top-10 protected, of course.)

[HoopsGuru25]

Frye is a bad fit on the Hawks...especially if they have to trade another asset to get him. We don't need a finesse big men backing up Horford and Smith. I don't see the need to get acquire a below average defensive center this year when Zaza is already making $4 million to play that role. We need someone like Jeff Foster,Nene(hopefully), Diop, etc who is going to bang down low.

Ding, ding, ding.

Frye does what for us? He gives us a soft big man who can't defend and is a liability downlow against stronger players. He would cost us a valuable piece and we can have DA who is probably better and not have to give up a piece of our future.

Repeating that won't make it true.

[JoshB914]

Are you serious? I figured even you would admit that Marvin's showing in the playoffs was pitiful. He missed open shots, dissapeared from games, turned the ball over, and was suspect on defense.

Defending Marvin for last season is one thing, but there is no way you can argue he was even serviceable during the postseason.

[SendEm]

Frye+Jack for Marvin+Acie is an equal trade. It's not Portland's fault that Atlanta drafted such average young basketball players so high in the draft.

[killbuckner]

marvin and Acie are worth far more than Frye and Jack. Not even particularly close. And I say this as the person on the board who has been for a ton of marvin trades and who has been in fierce arguments about how bad Acie is, its just that Frye and Jack are not particularly valuable at all.

[SendEm]

Marvin is a tweener SF that seemingly gets in the way of the other BETTER players on his team. Jack is a PG that has started in this league. Frye is a PF/C that can shoot and PF/C always have value in the NBA. Acie is a bench PG that isn't even good enough to get minutes on a very bad team. Atlanta just has the two players with the highest draft positions but they aren't clearly better players. Marvin has VERY LITTLE value in the NBA. No team wants that guy a freakin tweener SF.

Too pricey.
