Ridiculously Stupid Trade?

he’s gonna be really good

The ‘Stache is useless until proven otherwise, so we better be absolutely in love with someone available at #9 to make this deal.

would not do this though, they are probably not ready to give up on morrison who was injured all last year, just like were not letting GO go. And they probably wouldnt even want Frye that much.

Adam Morrison has already been labeled a bust by anyone who knows anything. Of course, no one knows as much as they think they know, and everyone has been wrong before (I was even wrong once). moving up up four spots is not that big of an advantage for playing Russian Roulette with an automatic firearm (to pun AmMo horribly and distastefully).

Sure Westbrook and Augustine look pretty good, but dang, not that good. Westbrook is overrated, in my opinion, and Augustine is too short. And as they say, you can’t teach height. I’d rather take a flyer on Chalmers, since we wouldn’t have to give up any of our actual players to get him. I hear Orlando wants some second rounders for their first….

Aldridge might turn out to be injury prone (though I hope not, knock on wood). Frye looks like he’s ready to break out. Frye likes it hear and is willing to come off the pines. To me that equals = DON’T TRADE FRY.

Dave’s already explained in his Friday post about the contract situation with Martell. If they want to make room for an impact free agent next summer, Morrison’s rookie contract is cheap and will expire this summer with a team option to extend it one more year.

I’m with Blazersaurus: I like Frye!

My only concern about the #9 pick is whether Augustin, Westbrook, or Alexander will still be around by then.

Is Ammo even on their stat site?

http://www.82games.com/0708/0708CHA.HTM doesn’t show him as being a member of the Bobcats at all. Strange. If we lost Webster in the trade, we’d have Outlaw starting at the 3. He’s a bit over-sized and Jones isn’t the player we want long-term, so that’d create a different problem.

Charlotte Bobcats wouldn’t make that trade. A frontline of Lopez and Emeka Okafor - who, for all intents and purposes, will most likely re-sign with the Bobcats - would create an outstanding defensive tandem down in the interior. Nazr Mohammed and Sean May would form satisfactory reserve frontcourt, too—especially in lieu of being starters.

Anyhow, the Portland Trail Blazers need to focus on solidifying the small forward position via a trade during this off-season. Martell Webster, Travis Outlaw, and James Jones are all role players - no matter how much hope some of y’all have for Webster and Outlaw - thus, they’re not the collective answer for a ballclub with title aspirations.

A trade whereby Webster, Channing Frye, Sergio Rodriguez, and Josh McRoberts are dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies for Mike Miller - who’s an amazingly efficient shooter, skilled playmaker, and solid rebounder for his position - could solidify the Blazers’ current quandry at small forward. Plus, it’d alleviate potential salary cap issues next year.

Regarding the point guard position, Kevin Pritchard must attempt to trade up for Russell Westbrook. Westbrook, who’s a lockdown perimeter defender and a versatile combo guard, would form a well-rounded backcourt alongside Brandon Roy. While Westbrook is a bit raw on offense, his deficiencies would be compensated by Roy.

However, it’d probably take something like the Blazers offering Outlaw, Jarrett Jack, and the 13th pick (e.g., Brandon Rush) to the Los Angeles Clippers for Tim Thomas and the 7th pick (i.e., Westbrook) to seal the deal. There’s worse backup power forwards out there than Thomas, though, while Outlaw is frequently overrated by several folks.
