Trade Drawer - I'm Bored & Have Internet

PrintThis is my proposed consolidation trade. It involves three teams the Bobcats, Rockets and Blazers.
Blazers:
Out:
Outlaw
Webster
Bayless
In:
Bobcats:
Out:
Gerald Wallace
In:
Rockets:
Out:
Tracy McGrady
Brent Barry
In:
Nazr Mohammed
Boris Diaw
Raja Bell
Why This Trade Should Happen:
For the Blazers: Consolidates young talent into a single superior starter and a expiring veteran.
For the Bobcats: Money. T-Mac is a giant expiring contract. The save money plus they get two young quality players.
For the Rockets: Bigs. They get a decent big man plus another quality forward. They also add Raja Bell to fill Ron Artest spot.
Why This Trade Won't Happen:
For the Blazers: Pritchard seems unwilling to give up young talent, especially Bayless.
For the Bobcats: They trade away almost they're entire starting line-up for an unproven player, a career back up and a washed up superstar.
For the Rockets: They probably want more for T-Mac and don't really have a need for Boris Diaw

Rec for making this a trade drawer
Portland makes out well in this trade. Rockets get a lot of question marks, and Morey doesn’t seem to be a dice player. And who ever knows what Larry Brown is thinking.

This is more realistic than most trades I see on this site.
I actually could see a deal like this happening.
Larry Brown likes Gerald Wallace...a lot
and Martell has “negative” trade value until he’s back on the court in NBA action
I could see a deal like this sometime next winter, probably not for Crash, though

I just threw him in there to get rid of him. I think that trade would be fair for the Rockets without him.

He was pretty critical of him last season. He seems to hate everyone he finds on the roster when he takes a new job and has a "grass is always greener on the other side" approach to team building. Who is left from when he took over?
Wallace, Augustin, …?
Combined with an owner trying to find a buyer, the Bobcats are indeed high up on my list of teams trying to save money in deals more than trying to win anything.

you're not going to make me go back find the article, are you?
it’s probably been over a month since I read this, but the gyst of it was that Brown loves everything about Wallace’s intangibles and it will take a “blow his socks off” kind of offer to pry Crash away from Charlotte
Bedgers can keep putting proposals up here, but (just like with Hinrich) it doesn’t mean “their guy” is one inch closer to being acquired by Portland

My favorite thing about this post
Is that the downsides for each team were already listed. I think it’d be great for us but is unlikely to happen. It might happen if we gave up Batum instead of Webster, just as a guess.
You can measure skill and talent with your eyes, but productivity is shown through statistics.
That was a nice touch.
Shows that some thought went into this, not just “let’s see if trade machine will let me do this.”

Rec!
For the title, the pros & the reasons it won’t happen. Nice work!!
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

Although the Bobcats would never do this…..

ESPN Trade Machine says its successful.
I don't. If we change the SF spot, I want a stats star and not a no-stats star with a PER of 10. And definitely not at such a price.

Or at least a no-stats star whose no-stats starhood will continue for a few years...
Battier is a proven winner in the NBA, but I worry about defensive specialists on the wrong side of 30.
That’s one reason I think the best move of the season for Blazers fans (maybe not for next year, but for the four years after that) was the Artest signing. The Lakers could’ve had Ariza at 24 years old for the same price – and Ariza is a better defender already who doesn’t need shots to give max effort.
Artest’s defensive skills are declining (much more quickly than Battier’s, by the way – wonder who takes better care of his body?) and replacing Ariza with Artest will make the Lakers MUCH more vulnerable to being overtaken by Portland next year and especially the four years after that.
Q: Is Greg favoring his knee?
Frye: He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors.
I'd like it if it wasn't brent barry
G wallace would be a tremendous pick up but i think another point or power forward forward would be better, maybe houston puts up chuck hayes or joey dorsey and we give them outlaw instead of webster
the Blazers need someone "like" Dorsey
who’s been in the league longer and (hopefully) been to the playoffs a bunch of times

i would rather have
big baby, hermann (his hands are huge what time wouldnt want him), lee (very super unlikely, but so is dorsey), is jermain oneal still a fa?, powe, udoka, marvin williams,….
fire nate before its too late
Jermaine's in Miami, making 23 mil
Udoka and Wiliams are SFs, my target is a 4/5
Someone like Ronny Turiaf or Jeff Foster, but we’re probably looking at December at the earliest re: a deal for either of those guys…depending on how their teams are playing and how Webster’s foot is doing

Dorsey may hold a grudge against Greg, and vice versa...
In the elite eight of the NCAA tourney, Dorsey grabbed a few headlines before the game by calling Oden overrated.
Turned out to be one of the best games of the seasons for OSU fans. Greg absolutely decimated Dorsey – who finished with something like 2 points and 3 rebounds. Greg had something like 20 and 14.
Everyone knew it was going to be a nice game when Dorsey was so intimidated by Greg on like the third play that, instead of getting a post look thrown back in his face, he just threw the ball straight up at the last minute – literally like 25 feet straight up into the air. It was phenomenal. One of the best games of Greg’s college career.
Q: Is Greg favoring his knee?
Frye: He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors.
Well if you can't beat Greg, join him?
Dorsey would be a decent complemetary backup to LMA, but if you put Joey alongside Greg or Joel I’d be concerned about their lack of outside shooting which would invite the opposing team to double team the other 3 Blazer players
