    Eh. I don't know how much it really helps. I mean, it does give Trob some breathing room to mature without the pressure... but I don't know.

    On defense it could really help.

    And Memphis does it because it helps them how? Other than a couple warm bodies and an occasional 3, I don't see it.

    Well Prince probably would do better than Wright for the Blazers.

    I say why not? He has championship experience and could be a valuable situational defender. I don't think he'd kill chemistry and we wouldn't miss Wright and Leonard at all.

    I like Andrei Kirilenko also if the Blazers could get him.

    He adds depth to the bench...

    Why does Memphis do this?

    What does Memphis have to loose? They aren't going anywhere this season and Prince isn't getting younger. Marc Gasol is pretty much out for the season. Meyers would be a good young big for them. Plus they can offer Wright more playing time, Something that the Blazers can't and wont do. Hell I might even though Victor Claver in.:pimp:

    Regardless what you think of Leonard, I would not give up a center for Prince at this stage in either one of their careers. While Joel has proven to be a good back up, you still need the extra big just in case.

    Not that it is a horrendous trade, but I would hold on to Leonard and Wright in case their is an injury and we need to make a quick deal.

    Right now I am happy with Nic and Wes handling the 3 spot.

    Yeah I knew you would counter with that, and you are right, but I would still hold out until the end. We just don't have enough bigs on the roster.
