    Didn't we pick Bayless at #11? I think the value we received is just about right.

    My point is that some people reacted similar when that trade went through, before everything was known. It wasn't a comparison of the two players, or a suggestion they are similar.

    I don't like this. After Bayless' playoff performance, I was looking forward to him taking his game to the next step this season. I know I said it didn't look like he was fitting in during preseason, but to give up an NBA talent for a protected draft pick . . . . Johnson better be all that.


    Bayless was suppose to be part of the package for the Paul. Maybe we trade the pick back in a package for Paul mid-season. :D

    Well, I guess we should bust out our Chris Paul voodoo dolls and our David West pinata.

    I could see the Telfair comparison, but Alvin Williams?

    Alvin was quite popular, and some fans were upset.

    Alvin was popular. So was Aaron McKie. I recall fans being crushed when we let go of Kelvin Cato as well.

    Am I sensing a trend here?

    Yeah, but Alvin wasn't as young as Bayless, didn't have the potential, and never showed quite as much promise. I liked Alvin a lot, but the two aren't really comparable as prospects.

    Wow losing Bayless and Pendy in one weekend . . . that is a lot of work ethic and intensity waking out that door.

    I remember Alvin being a 6'5" PG that a lot of fans had promise for.

    They were pissed that we got rid of him, not neccesarily who we got for him. Everybody loved Kato's game, some fans thought he was the next best thing at center.

    Bad trade IMO.

    Bayless is really talented, and still the best fit next to Brandon on our roster. Nate decided to take the guy with less talent that plays "Nate ball" because that's how Nate played.

    I was! I still am! We were 9-1 with Alvin starting, and he went on to be the PG on the only Raptors team that ever did anything. I believe they call him Mr. Raptor now...

    Yeah, but both those guys were included in major trades for star players. We just dumped Bayless for a conditional draft pick.

    Are we sure we're losing Pendergraph? Even if we waive him, we all know that Oberto is a Blazer for this season MAXIMUM, and Pendergraph was out for the season. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Pendergraph hang around and appear in some Blazer broadcasts. Mike Barrett (I believe) hinted that he might before the Oberto signing, and I don't see why it shouldn't still be true.

    I look at it as addition by subtraction. Creates opportunities for players with better skillsets.
