Solid Trade idea for the futre!

by davidpower on Jan 29, 2012 3:24 PM PST

Hopefully i did the link write, the trade is the following if the link doesn't work. It between PDX, HOU and IND

Blazers get: granger and hibbert from IND and then budinger and flynn from HOU

HOU gets: nic and camby

IND gets: wallace, thatbeet and then patterson

Now obviously the i can how most say we give up BOTH nic and gerald but granger is an All-star and budinger is stater in this league so he can be a great bench guy. Also its not really hard to tell who lost-houston but they get nic, and we would have to take on flynns contract to make it work and IND gets Gerald and some solid bigs ( if thabeet acutally becomes ok) Just one idea and not necessarily the best either. Share your thoughts!!

I don't see why Indiana would blow up their team for Wallace

Spurs might not do it, but it could be done not like most of the trades that get posted

A lot of negative value being shifted…

thats why it works

if you make a trade and one team is winning 50 or more games its a lopsided trade. this trade gives everyone something they need but each team loses something key.

It gives us nothing we need and trades our starting guards for bums and trash

I wouldn't call them bums, some are fillers

CJ Watson is the the Mo Williams that can pass the ball. He is a very underrated PG that I feel is better then what we have. Then there’s trade Wes which I know isn’t ideal but Batum plays better in that lineup and Danny Green has turn in to a very good player for the spurs. Korver and Bonner are just fillers but they are both upgrades over Chris Johnson and Babbitt. that trade gives as a Underrated PG of the Future and some shooting that that we desperately need.

yeah it's not horrible for us at all really

I don’t know how C.J.‘s done with increased minutes, but there’s a decent chance it’d be better than felton by a lot. I don’t know why the spurs or bulls do this though.

As a rule of thumb you want to end up with the best player in a trade.

In this trade I think the Blazers give up the two best players.

not necessarily the rule. I think we can all say denver won the melo trade

even with that, we’re trading our flop of a PG and our decent starting 2 guard for a 3-point sniper in kyle korver, a solid back-up PG who’s done well when he got starting minutes, another 3 point sniper in matt bonner, and a a young SG with a bunch of potential who nearly won a game for the spurs twice last night.

Look at the numbers

CJ Watson in 36 minutes he has crazy good production. 18 pts 7.2ast/2.6tov (2.77/1). He is shooting 486% from 3.

Agreed

Kyle Kover would be nice

we do need better shooters.

Indiana guts their future for an expiring Gerald Wallace, the definition of "draft bust", and a mid-first-round PF?

“Dear Indy, we’d like your best young players. Please take an expiring Crash plus table scraps. It’ll help you rebuild now that you’ve traded your best players. All the best! Paul.”

thats what I see

Wallace does not have an expiring contract, he has an opt out class that i believe he says that he will not use.

It's widely expected that he'll opt out

Wrong terminology, same effect.

by Timmay! on Jan 29, 2012 11:09 PM PST up reply actions

Indiana doesn't do it, but I like the idea.

I think we could give Flynn a shot because he is high character, good demeanor, and was a top 6 pick just two years ago, so he is young and obviously is filled with talent. I could see him developing into a Ty Lawson type player if he is coached up correctly (that, however, is a VERY optimistic view of Flynn, almost unrealistic).
