    I like Wallace but in no way shape or form will I put in Batum or Przybilla for him.

    How can we trade what we don't have? We renounced Frye's rights to clear cap space. He is now an unrestricted free agent and we no longer hold his Bird rights. He is free to sign anywhere he wants.

    Of course, we can use our cap space to re-sign him for more than anyone else is offering him, but I don't see him signing a one-year deal when longer deals are on the table, and I don't see him wanting to go back to New York when teams like Phoenix and Denver are showing interest.

    BTW, in the last 8 games Channing started as a Blazer, he averaged 15.4 PPG and 8.5 RPG. I know he stunk pretty bad last season, but I think as a starter on the right team, he could still be a very productive player. If Phoenix trades Amare, I think the Suns could be a good fit for Channing. Plus, it's close to where he went to college.

    I think Frye is a better player than his role allowed him to show here. Nate loved Travis as a four. If Frye would have had those minutes, things might have turned out differently.

    I am wondering when the first post saying "Why did we dump Frye?" after he has his first big game.

    Well history has shown that Frye plays well every other season - and totally sucks the season between. He also plays his best his first season with a new team. So, he's due to have a breakout 2009-10 season for his new club.

    LOL did you read the comments in that? "Only way Wallace trade makes sense for them is if Roy is traded for Wallace straight up" to his credit he did say "that wouldnt make sense for Portland" but I still wouldnt trade Oden, or Aldridge for him either, Wallace would at best be 3rd option here.
