Yes. As badly as Sergio has played lately, the reports I've seen is he's the class clown in the locker room who keeps everyone loose. We may not want to move him just because of this.

Well if it has to do with clearing a roster spot for Rudy then moving Jack makes the most sense. Essentially they will both play the same role on this team. I can't see that being done until the off season though...

Outside of possibly trying to make a deal to move Miles for cap relief I dont think I want Prichard to do much of anything at the trade deadline.

It seems like waiting is the obvious choice for the Blazers...

Exactly. Bucher has no clue.

Yes, KP is always looking to make a trade. There is no reason to wait until 2009 if opportunity presents itself now. However, we are by no means desperate.

It is all about what we can get right now. I would be surprised if we made a move and think the offseason or next trade deadline is the time we add the final star to our lineup.

I can see us trading Jack and two 2nds to Orlando for Adonal Foyle (ending contract), Franz Vazquez and their pick.

Well, we got Oden coming back for that role...

Fran is a bad risk for a team to trade for. Last I heard, it's looking like he'll never make it to the NBA, and just in terms of overall skill shown overseas, he has been far less than impressive.

We could use Jack in BOS. WHat do you want for him.

The only player on Boston's roster who would interest me (within reason of course) in a trade for Jack is Glen Davis. That said, I don't think there's any real chance of Jack being trading to Boston.
