is what does it take for the blazers to get Claire Danes because I thought she was really dang cute in stardust.

I definitely get this post.

Fits in with all the others.

Let’s see Lamar Odom go after Roy if Bourne is on the court. Make it happen, KP.

the nerve of some people…

Just for that—-

At the door is a man who will greet you

I was just today lamenting to myself about how many insane trade ideas are getting posted here and how tired of it I’m getting. This though, is some mighty fine crafted satire and I love it. You’re of my BlazersEdge here of the day. Congrats.

just kidding. I’d rather have Mike Tyson personally…you know to give us that enforcer we are missing.

Joel Freeman played Euro futbul and could kick Beckham or Tyson butt in a Pay Per View cage fight.Coming soon on coincast

This trade has exactly the same chance of happening as 90% of the trade posts that get thrown out there, makes about as much sense, and is about as feasible financially.

Not just random blog posts either – the worst trade speculation I’ve heard all summer came from David Aldridge during his summer league cameo, when he floated “Vince Carter” like it would make perfect sense for everybody concerned, and made sure to preface it by saying he had no concrete information and wasn’t trying to start anything (because he knew everyone would immediately recognize how much sense it makes).

Good call Nate, glad you get paid for saying these things. Way to pay attention to life. I’ve got some asbestos I’d like to sell you. Best insulation money can buy.

I might prefer Beckham to VC, TMac, etc. – he’s probably a better passer, and at the very least he would bring a few girls to the stands…

Beckham would be a great asset, and his wife has many great assets, but I just don’t see it working out for him here. Can you imagine NBA players taking orders from that girly voice of his? come on. And he looks pretty tough with the new tattoos and all, but do we need another player in the league diving over phantom fouls? Manu is enough for me on that front. Also, lets not forget his shoot-out performance in the 2004 euros, I can see it now “Beckham steps up to the line….and he has tossed it clear over the backboard!!”. And needless to say, but, how many football violations would he compile in a season?

What is the lamest trade BS this year? So far I am going with the Vince Carter nonsense but what about Shack or Starbury

Is my girlfriend one-upped the joke when I told her about it.

What about the Posh effect on Portland. Will that Louis Vuitton on Fifth be constantly ransacked? Will E! Network take over the top of the KOIN Tower? Will we be getting Pinkberry on 23rd?

All trades would work. Yes, I did spend 30 minutes with the ESPN trade machine to verify this. Call me crazy. Reasoning in brackets. Let’s fill our roster with B-names:

1 Blake (stays of course)

2 Bayless (B-Rex is set in stone)

3 And so is Batum (Sophia would kill the GM otherwise).

4 RLEC for Chauncey Billups (Couldn’t bring myself to do a Mike Bibby trade. Substitute Elton Brand if you want a big man)

5 Sergio for Brandon Bass (two B-names is rare. We need this guy, though he plays a different position)

6 Rudy for Marco Belinelli (I wanted an international player trade, and who said they need to have the same quality. Okay, plus a first round pick from GS, though we can’t use that on Ricky RuBio. Chase Budinger might be available as the best B-Name player in the 2009 draft)

7 Ike for Andray Blatche (no, despite the name he is not a Russian scrub but a pretty decent US player)

8 Channing for Andrew Bynum (now that’s a deal I might actually make)

9 Outlaw for Michael Beasley (now it gets tough, but he has undeniable talent and can play 4 and 3 like Trout)

10 Webster for Bruce Bowen (Stupid, I know. But he’s another double B. And hey, we always complained about our perimeter defense)

11 Joel for Shane Battier (Yes, the perimeter defense of our dreams…)

12 LMA for…tough to find a guy…Wallace’s Ben?...Nah…Biedrins signed a stupid new contract…we postpone this one

13 Brandon Roy for Corey Brewer (I decided that the first-name B doesn’t cut it. And hey, what did you expect? A better team with a trade for Kobe B.? Ducking head!)

14 Oden for Kwame Brown (DUCK AND COVER! Okay, you got me. Greg and LMA for Carlos Boozer. Well, Utah would do this deal in a minute ;-) And Chris Bosh doesn’t work, too expensive, except if we add Joel for 3 for 1 and that would be a too ridiculous even for this ridiculous trade scenario. Are we friends again?)

14 b Not that many B-name free agents available to replace a big man. Hmh, maybe P.J. Brown wants another ring. Earl Barron from the Heat wouldn’t be that bad. Or do we want to go really really really tiny with Earl Boykins?

15 Oh yeah, and the Beckham deal to fill our 15th spot. Sorry Petteri, you totally have the wrong name.

Olympics, please start already…

... but this makes the recommended list?

I have no problem with throwing a little t-i-c out on a slow day. In fact I agree 100% with robrun that this makes as much sense as some of the real trade proposals we see. I just don’t quite get what makes it rise above the rest. Maybe it’s not twisted enough for my sense of humor, which is admittedly on the warped side. (Now Tom’s avatar with the statue is funny.)
