Looks like it's that time again!

TRADE MACHINE time, that is! (http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/trademachine)

Yes, the Blazers have lost a few games recently. And although the trade deadline has passed, that doesn't mean we can't FREAK OUT about the recent losses and try to get rid of everyone not named LMA, Roy or Oden!

I'll post a couple to get us started:

Here's a fun one with Chicago:

A one-for-one swap with Seattle:

A trade that would say yes, Miami is finally ready to admit to a rebuilding effort:

And finally, what's a Trade Machine thread without a four-team blockbuster?
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=1719~498~1723~3239~2986~1718~2772~1017~277 9~813~901~2768~550&teams=22~18~18~18~22~17~22~3~22~18~18~3~17&te&cash=

This last one's my favorite. The Blazers get Chris Paul, David Lee, Renaldo Balkman and Nenad Krstic, and give up nothing but DWB Jarrett Jack and Darius Miles! Best of all, it rescues our good friend Freddy Jones from NYC. This is the kind of Pritch-slap the league has been waiting for since... well, since the draft, I guess.

What about you? What crazy Trade Machine goodness can you come up with to improve our poor, poor Blazers?

Okay, one more:

We need someone to tutor the kids, and Phoenix needs someone to spell Shaq: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=592~779~454~3004&teams=22~22~21~21& ;te=&cash=

Trade Freeland!

Oh yeah

I'm sure Pat Riley is saying, "Let's rebuild our team with Raef LaFrentz and Darius Miles"

That will get them back to the Eastern Conference Finals in no time.

I'm hip, I'm slick, and all the women want my phone number!

Well, you know.

It's all about cap space!

Trade Freeland!

Joel Freeland

I like how you threw Freeland into a couple of the deals to really sweeten the pot for the other teams. "I wouldn't give up Nash for just LaFrentz, but since your throwing in the rights to Freeland..."
