Yeah, we do disagree. I think you are giving away the farm. There is a point where trading for a superstar who likely only plays one non-lockout season before becoming a free agent (and has a recent injury history), becomes too expensive. And, it becomes a self-fullfilling result - you give up too much and take on too much salary hamstringing the team's future moves, then said Superstar is more likely to not be satisfied with the team he is on, and the same advisors that ushered him out of New Orleans try to do the same to get him out of Portland. It is not worth gutting the team and taking on massive salary when the risk of that result is so high. As you will find out, the Blazers won't make that trade: (Oden, Batum, Miller & Pryz for Paul & Okafor)
Yep. I don't. Ok. Cool. I'm glad we have someone here who works in the front office. Who else are we pursuing, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm now wondering....is Matthews good enough......that a Roy for Paul might actually make decent sense? Anyone?
Of course, the qualifier is that Paul is actually better than Roy. Speaking of which, hasn't Paul already been on the NBA All-Defensive First Team?
Yeah, but it isn't much worth it if he want to play with Roy and since he is being traded for Roy, he will just bolt 2 years later. Not a good idea.
