Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Well, they're calling Tuesday Andre Miller Day aty water coolers around the NBA, because lots of people thought the Blazers signed him simply to be a trade asset, and tomorrow is the first day he is eligible to be traded (check Marc Stein's Weekend Dime for a list of all players with trade restrictions, and when they expire). I think Portland tipped its hand when it went after a wing player in Hedo Turkoglu right from the get-go, and I think that remains a spot they need to fill (along with a big body to backup Joel P. It is a well-known fact around the league that the Knicks are willing to move Al Harrington, who would be a fantastic fit for Portland, but the Blazers would have to take back Jeffries in order for the Knicks to make that deal, and when you throw him in it is very hard to find enough ballast to go along with Andre (and Rudy Fernandez, whom the Knicks would insist upon) to make the deal work.

Knicks aren't getting their hands on Rudy unless they add Lee into the deal,

and i doubt they’d do that. he’s averaging 18.2 pts and 10.2 rbs per game on better than 57% shooting. Harrington could be interesting, as he feels a need for both a wing and a scoring punch off the bench (he’s averaging better than 20 ppg, as well as 6.6 rpg). But would the Knicks trade an expiring contract for a non-expiring contract? I doubt it.

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

We should do that

We made Jared Jeffries look like an all-star, so why not?

Sorry, I just don’t see us trading Rudy and Andre and Martell or Travis and Juwan (to make salaries match) for Harrington and Jeffries.

He can play some three I think

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

LOL

“I’m Al Harrington – and I made it.” But not to Portland.

Miller - Roy - Webster - Aldridge - Przybilla. Is that so hard?

hmm

seeing how he is scheduled to start the day his supposed to be traded, I dont see this

bayless leaves over my dead body
Start Bayless (in a 2 guard lineup)
if you should strike Oden down he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

Can someone give a rational explanation of why blake plays 36 minutes a game?

According to Jason Quick anyway

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
