Wolves/Blazers deal 

Post#1 » by weasel » Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:47 pm

Blazers are weak at PG and C. We're weak at SG/SF. This trade works on the trade machine and adds wins to both teams.

Wolves Out: Ridnour, Randolph
Blazers out: Matthews

I believe the trade would also work with Crawford if he becomes available to trade on 3/1. I'm not sure if he is or not though.

I'd do it in a heartbeat. I imagine that Portland would want a pick added, at least.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

I don't think they'd trade Matthews for those two but I'd be more than fine with Crawford.

The Blazer aren't weak at C anymore now that they've picked up Przybilla. Aside from trading one of our top 4 guys (Love, Rubio, Pek and DWill), I'd give up anyone else for Matthews and I'd give up DWill if it meant Batum.

I'd like to update this deal, and have Crawford as the piece we recieve.

Give us a starting lineup of Rubio/Crawford/Martell/Love/Pek.

I'd throw in the Memphis 1st for Matthews. Also we'd need to take back another player, probably Nolan Smith or Rhino

That's more realistic, but I still think Portland are going to want more than Luke and AR

Portland looks adrift without a decent point guard. They play in the same division as us. I'm not saying I wouldn't want Matthews or Batum, but I honestly think right now with the play we are getting from Ridnour and, increasingly, Webster, we might be less imprived than Portland would be by this trade.

I just think that we could find a trading partner that wouldn't be competition for playoff spots.

Speaking of trades...I know the trade deadline hasn't arrived yet but this season must have the least trades ever so far.
