PrintHEY GUYS WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MY TRADE
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=d9s57e
It's pretty good and I think everyone gets what they're looking for and hopefully the Bobcats pull the trigger. This is my first fanpost and trade idea so please don't hate too much!!!!!!
Also, does anyone know who is in the All-Star game? I hope all the Blazers make it - even my man Shavlik - you go, Shavlik!
lol Oden 4-ever

There's no way the Timberwolves do this.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah, seriously..
McFail’s dumb but he’s not THAT dumb.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Kevin McHale
Their GM.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
yeah right
You know perfectly well who McFail is. And this is NOT your first fanpost. You are trying to act like one of those 11 yr old kids.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
According to James Kunstler, who writes a well-respected if slightly profane financial blog whose title I cannot repeat here, "The Republicans must be clearly identified as the party that wrecked America... it's hard to imagine the American people giving the clean-up task to the very group that created the mess -- no matter how many cute little faces Sarah Palin can make on TV."
This trade's terrible.
I can see it helping the Blazers, but you’re living in a dream world if you think the other teams sign off.

Here's what McHale's like..

McHale: Hello?
KP: Hey, could we get all your point guards?
McHale: No?
KP: O.K.

This trade makes sense..
except we’re shipping out LaMarcus and we’re not getting the one thing we need in return – DEFENSE.
If you could have swung a deal for more defense, I’d be totally on board.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah, seriously..
how are nine more point guards going to help our defense?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
DUDE
do you realize their PER is off-the-charts?
How can I spell this out for you.. we definitely pull the trigger.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
True..
but I don’t pay much attention to PER. I prefer +/-, and this is sketchy at best.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Everyone know PER’s way off. Hollinger’s a tool.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
ESPN hates all our players
C’mon, TV – reflect our minority perception!
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Augustin
can play defense.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Seriously?
Did you just say he can play defense? Did you see Oden drive right past him last time they played? I think you need glasses.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
I don’t know what you’ve been watching, but other than that one game, Augustin’s been a shut-down defender. And the kid’s still just a rookie.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah..
but he’s no Hinrich, that’s for sure.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Hinrich is waaaaaaay too much money.
And he’s just getting worse.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
He's like..
the Benjamin Button of basketball skills.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Hinrich..
is fine – he’s just coming off an injury, is all.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
I think you mean..
a “lock-down defender”, not “shut-down”. That’s Blake :(
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
When he's on the court.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah..
dude can’t even crack the rotation with Felton ahead of him. Felton!
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
We'd get Felton, too.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Oh my god..
I would totally wet myself if we did this trade.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Um..
how are these guys going to fit in our culture?
I hear having twelve point guards on your team is bad for the locker room.
NO HARMONY NO CHANCE
I flush this trade down the toilet.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Especially Ollie..
here’s a story:
When I was a kid, I went to a Timberwolves game and I actually won a prize of being able to hang out with KO for a day. I was only, like, 5, but it sounded super awesome so I got to go. Turns out hanging with Ollie for a “normal” day basically consisted of driving around being really cranky looking for his “friends”, picking up some money from his “girlfriend and her friends” and huffing gold spray paint out of a garbage bag.
I still have photos.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
TRADE TRAVIS OUTLAW
For more point guards, please. His BBIQ is too low.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Any chance..
we could trade Oden for Durant.. then parlay him into Felton/Augustin?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
We'd already be getting Felton/Augustin
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Oh..
my bad. I meant Rose/Hinrich.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
So..
how long before KP hangs up the phone if the other three GMs come to him with this trade?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
This doesn't..
fit Quick’s criteria – remember, it was just ONE point guard, and it was from an Eastern team.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
by 12sharks on Feb 14, 2009 2:53 PM PST reply actions 1 recs
Oh, right.
And there’s no SF, either.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Plus..
who’s the “sweetener”? .. Foye?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
It could be..
that we plan on playing Conley at SF.. and that all the others (except for Augustin) are the sweeteners.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah, but..
Conley /= DEFENSE.
Plus, he’d get boxed out all the time playing against bigger SFs.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
We’d just put LaMarcus on him, then.
I think he can guard the smaller ones, though.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah..
I thought of that, too, but LaMarcus goes to Charlotte.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Oh, right..
yeah, I’m thinking we’d have to play Felton at the SF, then.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
I was thinking Batum.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
I'm thinking..
a depth chart like this:
PG – Blake / Sergio / Bayless / Augustin / Felton / Singletary / Conley / Jaric / Lowry / Foye / Ollie / Telfair
SG – Roy / Rudy
SF – Martell / Trout / Batum
PF – Shavlik / Diogu
C – Oden / Przy
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
No..
Batum’s gone. Plus, we’d have to cut most of our players to make this work. I’d say something like..
PG – Blake / Sergio / Bayless / Augustin / Felton / Singletary / Conley / Jaric / Lowry / Foye / Ollie / Telfair
SG – Roy / Rudy
SF –
PF –
C – Oden
would be most likely. Also, we might have to get Norsktroll on this – when are the incoming PG’s contracts up?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
There’s no way I move LA/Batum and only rent Augustin, Felton, Singletary, Conley, Jaric, Lowry, Foye, Ollie and Telfair. They need to come on with the intention to re-sign.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Of course. I think this trade’s assuming that. I didn’t post it, though.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah, it is.
I’m the OP and this would assume they’re all re-signing.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Gotcha.
Nice first post, by the way. Welcome to Blazer’s Edge.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
This torpedoes our chances of landing Crash.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Or Amar’e – good thing, though!
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Rec
Yeah! That guy’s a total loser!
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah – what a complete piece of garbage. I wouldn’t trade even four PGs for him.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
HECK NO
This is one of those trades that looks good on paper, but would never work out in real life.
THIS ISN’T FANTASY BASKETBALL.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For comedy, I decided to come up with the biggest trade imaginable. Here it is:
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=abtuo4
This could only work in a universe where two different teams decided to say sayonara to any chance of on-court success in the name of saving $$$. And save money they definitely would. To be fair, though, both of these teams are said to be liking to cut salary in a huge way.
Hit it. Yes he did. Ohhhh yeah.
by Badalona Baddie on Feb 14, 2009 3:19 PM PST reply actions
Yeah..
I think this is a good trade.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Seriously?
Grant Hill = Too old and Suns won’t trade him
Vinsanity = Bad character guy, crybaby
Not gonna happen
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Dude..
lighten up.
I like Badalona’s ideas.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
I just now noticed that I contributed to a multiple-personality thread.
I just feel plain foolish.
Hit it. Yes he did. Ohhhh yeah.

When does..
Conley get to play?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Minutes
If we keep Blake, Sergio and Bayless, how are the minutes going to be distributed?
I’m thinking:
POINT GUARD
Roy – 20min
Blake – 20min
Sergio / Bayless / Augustin / Felton / Singletary / Conley / Jaric / Lowry / Foye / Ollie / Telfair – 8min
Sounds about right?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
So..
we’d basically be subbing in PGs for ~43 seconds?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah..
basically. If we can stop the clock that often – might hurt us on timeouts.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
The poster below..
hints that Ollie might be paid to stay away. That would bring the totals to 48 seconds each.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
That would bring the totals to 48 seconds each.
That’s doable.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Whoops.
Sorry about that extra box – that’s weird.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
If we're ditching Ollie..
who will replace him at the 1? Rudy?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
We'd just have Blake play an extra 48 seconds.
Or double Bayless’ time.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Actually, I take that back.
I think we’d give Sergio and Bayless an extra 24 seconds each.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Oh, right.
Yeah, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
I hope..
this trade goes through.
But Paul Allen’s got to cut a check for Ollie and keep him faaaaaaaaar away from this team.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Yeah, like Amsterdam
Can you say Bongzilla?
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Is he a druggy?
I was talking about the racketeering and tax evasion.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
That too..
but let’s just say he hangs out under a bridge with Michael Phelps and Ricky Williams.
"Well, Travis just showed us that we can go to Travis Outlaw." - Nate McMillan
Anyway..
yes. He’s just part of the trade to make the numbers work – there’s no way he’d be getting PT here.
Otherwise, this is a fine trade.
Please, KP, MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

I loved this
It’s like breaking the fourth wall… but for a sports blog, nice.
Very interesting
I was driving home from Seattle today listening to kjr, I dont know who these guys were but they talking about how stupid Phoenix was acting right now. They kept talking about Phoenix trading with a team not to be named in the northwest division for a huge expiring contract and draft pics only. I was calling bs on the whole discussion,(nobody wants nothing in return) except that they were saying that Kerr has pretty much been told to get under the cap and not just under the cap but way under the cap.
Could there owner really be that desperate to just blow the team up for nothing but an expiring contract. It was not just Stoudemire they were talking about but Jefferson, Shaq, Nash. Crazy talk, but it makes you wonder how bad of shape finacially somr of these teams are in right now.
Would anyone object to Stoudamire for RLEC and future draft picks?Not losing anyone else on the roster.
This trade deadline this year may be crazier then ever.
I try to help with everything," Fernandez said. "If the coach says go rebound, I go rebound. I work for the team.
""If I'm playing this game to get media and attention, I shouldn't be here," Aldridge said. "I'm here to play basketball, and do what I can do to help this team win."
I just can't imagine that Phoenix would be that stupid
I would love to get Amare for that price, but then we have the mystery of where to put Lamarcus. He’s an Allstar caliber PF, you can’t really put him as a backup. Can he be a SF?
My avatar is 3 years into the future for sure...
