I think we have to shore up some things up if we want to get past this sprint of a season.
I think it shores up our Backup pg position so we can let Crawford play the natural 2 position and score first and when Felton goes down we can start Flynn for a game or two. what do you think yes or no?

Is it okay for me to add that he not good at all and has no future in the NBA?
La Illaha Illallah Muhamadur Rasulallah
yeah, that trade is horrendous
"If I had a dime for every basket I made today, you'd still suck!" - from the book 'John Dies @ the End'
I would like Goran Dragic instead of Flynn personlly
D.J. Augustin you might be able to get because the Bobcats love Walker.
Jordan Farmar is playing good right now.
Greivis Vasquez would be hard to get but would help so much
I've wanted Greivis Vasquez since last year.
His game is awesome, heady, smart, high BBIQ without stunning athleticism or a great shot yet still gets it done night in and night out. Plus he can play and defend two positions competently. He’s the perfect 3rd guard coming off the bench spelling either the SG or PG.
The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
/keep Batum/ /trade for Bogut/
I'd like to see Agustin.
Thhat kid can play and is a pass first point that can hit the 3. As a back he can flourish as a starter he has potential.

Here's the trade I wanna see happen, it works, I've done it before, but Trade Machine and Trade Checker aren't currently functioning
Portland: Golden State: Orlando: New Jersey
Gives: Gives: Gives: Gives:
Gerald Wallace M. Ellis D. Howard M. Okur
Wesley Matthews A. Biedrins Q. Richardson Brook Lopez
Luke Babbit E. Udoh
Gets: Gets: Gets: Gets:
Monta Ellis W. Matthews E. Udoh D. Howard
Andreis Biedrins L. Babbit M. Okur Q. Richardson
Brook Lopez G. Wallace
Justification: The Blazers fill many holes with the players they acquire. They obtain a perimeter scorer and passer, a starting-quality center, and a semi-decent back-up. Golden State acquires two tough guy players who can fit in with Mark Jackson’s defensive style, while fitting in beautifully with Steph Curry’s fast-paced offense. They also rid themselves of A. Biedrins’ big contract, but get some value in return. Orlando receives the weakest deal, but they get cap space and a prospect. In real life they could be given more prospects and picks, but the trade checkers don’t let you go over 15 players. New Jersey gets D. Howard, so they’re happy.

Orlando gets shafted no way they ever agree to that.
The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
/keep Batum/ /trade for Bogut/
Orlando is getting shafted regardless
These amateur GMs never seem to figure out that the longer you wait the worse it gets, Orlando’s best deal passed a couple months ago but they were too foolish to take the deal when it was there
Last years NY Denver deal was an anomaly just because it was the Knicks, and they are so amazingly Incompetent that everybody knew they would cave, if they possessed any “Testicular Fortitude” they would have got to keep allot of those players. Probably why Donnie Walsh isn’t there anymore
Bottom line. The longer into the night, the more the wolves come out.
This is why I believed that I was just as good a choice if not better for GM in this league, where some people say my weakness is lack of familiarity with “NBA culture” I tend to suggest that as my biggest strength
Glass Half full vs Glass Half empty
La Illaha Illallah Muhamadur Rasulallah
Donnie Walsh never wanted to make the trade.
He thought they were giving up too much and basically had his hands tied while Dolan traded the farm for Melo.
The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
/keep Batum/ /trade for Bogut/
Yes. Walsh knew they could just sign him as a FA after the year ended and save all their depth.
Dolan is a moron.

If you are interested.
Michael Lewis, the guy who wrote “Moneyball” wrote a really great book about all that recent financial mumbo-jumbo on wall-street called “the big short”. It is surprisingly light reading once he teaches you what all the different terms and instrument are for. Super funny. He goes around interviewing the people who saw the collapse coming and gets some hilarious quotes where names are named and big shots are exposed for being bone-heads.

How about Nic Batum for Derrick Williams?
Minnesota gets the wing they desperately need. We could restart the clock on a young guy who won’t cost very much for the next few years.
I know PF is not really a position of need, but I think he would look pretty pretty good playing next to Aldridge, as he provides the tough inside play and rebounding to go with Aldridge’s silky smooth all around game.
No way Minnesota would have done this deal earlier in the year, but he’s been a little disappointing, and he doesn’t seem to fit well next to Love.
And keep the terrible wallace?
No, never.

Portland trys to win now...Boston Rebuilds..
portland trade any combination that trades players that contracts runs out next year please….trade our draft pick plus marcus camby, raymond felton, gerald wallace,batum or crawford,……for rondo and pierce…and a cheap big….this works for boston and all there players that will retire or contract runs out they can go free agent hunting with a lots of money…..portland gets some good players that are stuck to contracts for a few years..if boston wants to throw in a extra draft pick since they possibly have 2 first rounders…Boston would cut there salary by 65.76 million...thats alot of green in this new cba….
Boston is still actively shopping rondo
I would prefer a legit young pg over nash. nash just turned 38 yesterday so at best maybe 2 years? And we cant win this year without a much better center so we shouldnt do a sign and trade for nash. Trade felton wallace and two draft pics for rondo? Anyone?

There's a difference between active and passive
I saw the Hoopsworld article, but I’m still not convinced they’re “actively” shopping him. If Gasol for Rondo is truly on the table at the deadline? Sure, Ainge might think about that, but I get the feeling that LA wants to do a Rondo/Gasol swap a lot more than Boston does.
Is Ainge looking for a place to deal Rondo? No. You do that with guys like Andray Blatche and Steven Jackson. With guys like Rondo, Melo, Dwight, Paul, or D-Will you listen to offers and try to create a bidding war.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
A lineup of:
PG: Nash
SG: Ray Allen
SF: Batum
PF: Lamarcus

I think we should clear cap space & go after a center this offseason.
- - Dwight Howard
- - Roy Hibbert
- - JaVale McGee
Probably will end up with McGee.

Or mcgee. That would be amazing

Houston would not give up Dragic/Hill/Patterson for Wallace
"We gotta get this $#!^ together guys!" - Phil
This actually isn't a bad trade.
I would hate to get stuck with Lewis’ monster contract, but he could be a competent backup 3/4 for us.
The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
/keep Batum/ /trade for Bogut/
Yeah I'd do it too. Lewis would be a fine backup.
McGee is a headcase, but he also has the potential to be one of the best centers in the NBA. Despite his bad plays, he still puts up great production. Better production then we have gotten out of a center since Sabonis. I remember once we had a head case with huge potential & we let him go… He went on to win a championship.
"We gotta get this $#!^ together guys!" - Phil
Plus with guys like Kurt Thomas and LaMarcus to mentor him.
He could potentially turn it around and stop being so boneheaded all the time.
The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
/keep Batum/ /trade for Bogut/
I would hate to be stuck with it too
I would say waive him.
Formally known as: My_name_a_rudy
by Blaze_that_trail on Feb 7, 2012 5:57 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
No way... he becomes the most valuable contract in the league a year from then
at the trade deadline. Don’t waive him… just don’t play him or let him in the locker room. I don’t think he’d be a good influence on the team but McGee would be worth the price of one year of Lewis sitting on the bench soaking up money. I know 21 mil would be hard to fill up at the trade deadline, but if anyone was in a position like NO is right now… that would mean both their centers for Lewis plus a prospect.

I don't think Boston
Will be willing to go all in on Luol Deng replacing Paul Pierce, nor his 3 years remaining. If they went through on a deal trading Rondo it would likely require several years of guaranteed lottery draft picks.

I really think this three team trade works for all
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=73zqm5r
A lot to give up,, but curry and Aldridge for the next 5 years of making a run.
Curry, Wright, Walton, Beidrens to PDX
Wallace, camby, Felton, cap room for next year lakers.
Gasol, batum to gs.
Lakers have a chance to get Howard, if they get the cap room. This trade frees up 25 million. That is huge! Bynum, Howard, Kobe and maybe they sign Felton cheap and just add a cheap,shooter sf.
Gs makes a run with SG, sf, PF. Using their picks to grab a competent pg to get those three the ball.
We get years of fantastic in out play with curry and Aldridge.
GM
already said ellis and curry do similar things and a package of Gasol and Batum is difficult to pass up. They become a playoff team with that move and can do some playoff damage. Gasol, lee, Batum, Rush, ellis is a damn good team.
The Warriors seem that they would rather keep Curry and trade Ellis
I could be wrong
Of course they would
Ellis is making 10 mil a year, curry is on his rookie contract. Even if they are equal (curry is better) curry has much more bang for your buck. That said, noone is willing to trade for the most volatile 20 pt scorer in the league. A guy who is as likely to go for 4 as he is for 40 is not the reliability you want from a star. It would be okay if he was a defensive small forward, but as an offense-only SG? No thank you. Curry will get offers left and right, and GS will just have to find the one that fits their long-term plans best… most likely a defensive SG/SF and a center for Curry/Biedrins. That and one or two draft picks, depending on how good those players are.

La Illaha Illallah Muhamadur Rasulallah
if we had that squad this year im thinking we would have a shot at the ship
Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje, Vladimir Stepania, Ha(ha you suck) Seung Jin, Travis Diener and Erick Barkley
Still a lot of question marks. Awesome on offense no doubt though.
Can you get Monta to be a team player? Once he moves from Golden State, the land of no D, can he come to Portland and at least try on that end of the court? Will Elliot Williams be able play significant minutes & help with perimeter D? Last but definitely not least, Robin Lopez? Relying on Camby to start is a huge risk.
"We gotta get this $#!^ together guys!" - Phil
Here is my idea
Since Dallas is presumably going to go hard after Deron Williams in free agency, we should go after Rodrigue Beaubois. He has the physical skills & commitment to defend just about any NBA PG. Since Jason Kidd has been injured, he has had a chance to play the 1 spot & has done a damn good job at it. If you could get Dallas to overlook its own talent & they think they can land DWill, then Beaubois could be had. Sign McGee & Hinrich next offseason. Here is what I’m thinking
Rodrigue Beaubois/Kirk Hinrich
Wesley Matthews/Elliot Williams
Nicolas Batum/?
LaMarcus Aldridge/?
Javale McGee/Kurt Thomas
Also, LaMar Odom has simply not worked out in Big D, so we could swap Wallace for Odom(Which would put Batum as our starter, Odom as 6th man)- Though a deal with Odom can’t go through for a few more days because of a restriction in the CBA.
"We gotta get this $#!^ together guys!" - Phil
This could work.
I think we would have to take on Marion’s huge contract for declining production in order to get Beaubois. And I would totally do it, it’d be awesome to get some French connection going on between Roddy and Nico.

HOW ABOUT
Wesley for Ramon Sessions? (it works in the Trade Machine)
This might be less appealing to the Cavs after they beat the Clippers with Sessions outplaying Chris Paul. But they don’t really have a 2G, Byron Scott likes defense, and Kyrie Irving is their PG for now and the future.
We could start Batum at the 2, or Crawford, if we’re worried about a bench backcourt of Crawford and Sessions (neither known for defense).
(Wesley is still a solid defender, and hits some big threes, but he's really been patchy this year, and it was supposed to be a breakout, with his ankle healed).
PLUS: if we want a scrappy defender at the two, we can give Armon some minutes. He’s almost as big as Wesley, and Nate has declared him to be a 2 now.
A realistic proposal with Cleveland.
I’ve got one here as well…
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7cmk276
Varejao and Sessions to Portland
Camby, Batum, this years first round pick to Cleveland
Varejao is too old to work for the window they are looking at in Cleveland, Camby expires creating cap room to chase young free agents, Batum fits perfectly into their window, and Sessions is what they’re giving up, since they have a PG already in Irving. The draft pick makes it acceptable for them to give up Sessions. Maybe add a second rounder from a future draft?
by avalancheman on Feb 9, 2012 12:17 PM PST up reply actions
I've wanted us to get Varejao for years
But this year he finally proved himself untradeable. He always had amazing +/-, now he’s got the regular stats too. He should actually be considered for the All-Star game. Plus Byron Scott has repeatedly said he’s going nowhere, and Gilbert doesn’t want to rebuild, he wants to win because of his stupid Comic Sans rant. Sessions is possibly gettable, Varejao is not.
