Kings Trade Kenny Thomas Corliss Williamson Vitaly Potapenko for Blazers Trade Raef LaFrentz Dan Dickau
Dude, can you just make one thread for your NBA Live trades? You're spamming this forum with stuff that is off-topic. This is for RUMORS that people have read, not stuff you plugged into RealGM because you were bored in the middle of the night. You don't even bother to explain why you think the trades would be good for both teams. Come on, man. That trade above is garbage and wouldn't help the Blazers at all

That trade above is garbage and wouldn't help the Blazers at all</div> ,yes it would help the blazers if you would do your homework on the trade ,Thomas is averaging almost 10 boards a game and Potapenko and Williamson's contracts come off at season's end,this trade would give Randolph a solid backup as well as give them much needed cap.Lafrentz is only in Portland because Boston insisted they take them in the Telfair deal. This trade is good for Sactown,they get a bigman who can stretch the D as well as be great insurance for Brad Miller.LaFrentz will never do well in Portand's system and you can book that <font color="red">profanity removed ~Locke</font>
I'm sure you've noticed that this forum doesn't approve of attacking other posters like you just did there, nba_specialist_24_7. This Rumor Mill is not a place where anyone can just post an idea they have of a trade that might work for some team. It's supposed to be where we post real, legitimate rumors when they come around. Please stop making this type of thread; you are more than welcome to debate possible trades or make other comments about trading in the team forums. There's no need to start these threads in this forum. Thanks for your cooperation.

LaFrentz can't even get into the game for the Blazers and their getting someone who averages 10 boards a game plus cap relief.Seriously LaFrentz is not going to start ahead of Pryzbillia,Magloire or Aldridge,so why not get a good backup for Randolph and lessen up the salary cap in the process. LaFrentz would flourish in Sactown because he can stretch the D and the Kings are desperately needing a fluid player like LaFrentz who can play the 4 or 5 comfortably since they dont have a true backup for Brad Miller who has been injured as of late That guy was just jumping to conclusions and not even attempting to figure out where I was coming from

They aren't based on any real rumours out there and almost always don't seem to be worth the trouble for both teams. And, on top of that, you only think about one side in all of your proposals. The other team is usually getting shafted and your just putting them in their to balance it out for the other team. To me, Chuck was somewhat justified in dismissing your proposal. For example, you focus all your explanation on how the Kings would benefit in this trade, but what about the Blazers? There's already been complaining that Zach Randolph is taking minutes away from the rookie Aldridge, so why would they bring in another forward who would simply compound that problem?

There's already been complaining that Zach Randolph is taking minutes away from the rookie Aldridge, so why would they bring in another forward who would simply compound that problem?</div> Actually I have been giving more reasons on why the Blazers should pull this trade than Sactown.Sactown is the one taking a leap of faith in LaFrentz.Its a gamble I think would pay off for both ends. Yes Blazer fans want to see more of Alridrige at the 4 and so do I,but its hard to complain when Zach is averaging 25ppg and 10 boards with a team record for the Blazers better than expected by the critics.If we look at my linup after the trade it makes perfect sence. Starting C-Joel Pryzbillia {This is the guy that has to be worried about Aldridge taking his place,not Randolph,one of the main reason's the Blazers were high on Alrdridge is that he is like Channing Frye and can play either the 4 or 5,Pryzillia though a good defender is too far much of a liability on the offensive end,which is one of the reasons Joel is likely to be benched before Zach this season} PF-Zach Randolph {Its hard to hate on this guy when he is coming back from the dead in similar terms to the way Boozer did,as long as he is playing well and helping the team win then he should be starting,Aldridge is already in the Blazer's future so why try and quickly develope him when Randolph is already there?Jermaine O'Neal spent almost 5 years on the Blazers bench behind Sheed and Grant before he exploded,proving it is good to bring some players along slow sometimes.} Backup C-LaMarcus Aldridge {This guy is going to be a talent so I an not going to dispute that,I dispute the rumors he should be starting full time this season,the Blazers already have Magloire as a backup center as well as Joel Freeland,their 1st round pick last year coming over in a few seasons} PF-Kenny Thomas {This guy makes more sence as a backup to Randolph than LaFrentz or even Aldridge,Aldridge needs to be able to learn to play center for 25-30 minutes a game and be a totally balanced player.Thomas is the perfect player to come in and give Zach a breather because he can score and rebound and is on a reasonable contract THe bottom line is that Would you rather have a 10 mill backup for Randolph or a 5 mill dollar one in Thomas?
