Who says we could have their pick (7) and Thaddeus for Frye? There’s no way they do that….......am I reading it wrong?

That was a typo I missed, yes pick number 16 is what they supposedly offer.

I love Channing, but I’d do that. Something tells me the 6ers wouldn’t though.

Hmm, I think he’s a keeper and a half for the 76ers, and Frye and our lottery pick wouldn’t be near enough to snag him away. I dunno how smart he is, or if he’s a good defender, but he’s gonna be a pretty good scorer in the NBA and is really athletic. He’s young, and I can’t see Philly trading him for anything short of a known star-level power forward.

Last year was a really good draft, what with Young and Julian Wright going so late in the lottery… those guys are gonna be good, no doubtaboutit.

Perhaps Spencer Hawes and Eazy Yi are the only ones who shouldn’t have been picked in their draft position, but even they should be fine players.

Frye has decent value, but unfortunately not that much. He would give the 76ers a shooter though, something they definitely don’t got. I’m not sure who we could use from them next season… this past year, we sure coulda used a Reggie Evans to rebound off the bench, but next year I doubt that’ll be a problem. Hmmmm…

Perhaps a deal with the Sixers is viable, but not for one of their young pieces.

But if someone made a great offer for Frye, I think KP would have to consider it. Frye is actually one of my favorite Blazers, and I’d hate to see him go. But with Trout, Frye, Martell, & LMA, the Blazers have an awful lot of none-too-physical forwards. Where’s the beef? Somewhere along the line, that will need to be addressed. NBA contenders have a lot of bruisers, and the refs let ‘em do what they want come playoff time. GO and Przy can’t hold the fort alone: you’ve got to have some forwards who can shove back.

As much as a like Channing’s soft spoken good nature…. its too soft… hopefully Luke can work with him this summer and repeatedly give him the elbow to the chest Luke always opened the game with. Maybe if Channing got tough and developed a semblence of a post game, he would be a great advantage off the bench for when our bigs get in foul trouble. I think Channing does have game if developed. Word to Channing Frye- dont take the summer off.
