John Salmons to Portland?

Oh man Channing would HATE us if we traded him to Sacramento after him saying he HATES that city haha

 

Frye & Ike & draft pick for Salmons would be highway robbery. Sign me up.

 

No thanks. I don't think he would be good on our team after hearing what Sacramento fans think of him. And on top of that, I don't think creating further logjams is the way to go.

 

salmons for frye and a couple seconds would be epic.

 

Sacramento fans? Who are these mythical creatures?

Salmons is cheap, a good scoring wing and easy to move if he doesn't fit. If we only give up backup PFs for a player that scores 18.3ppg (more than Ray Allen, Iverson, Iguodala, Billups, Mo Williams and RJeff), it's insanely lopsided.

This team's D sucks, but the offense isn't exactly a well oiled machine either. He could really help our epic scoring droughts.

 

I'm not concerned about our offense, honestly. I think a better offensive scheme with more movement would help us a lot more than another wing. I'm more concerned about the logjam we are creating, and how our rotation would just be getting bigger and bigger.

 

If we are going field a unit of Trout and Salmons - we really need a Frye out there as well. KP knows cookery - I call bullshit.

 

Salmons is an upgrade. He's a do-it-all type of wing. He's 29 but by the time his contract expires Batum will be more than ready to take over.

The talent gap between Salmons and Frye is pretty massive.

 

Only $6/# at costco. How are we going to make Fish& Chips without Fry?

 

Ugh. If we get an upgrade without giving any rotation players, that just creates further logjams that might piss off some of the players.

I think we should give a little more, but go after a better player....

 

Exactly, B-Roy. I wouldn't mind giving up around 3 rotation players (including Blake and Webs which would push our rotation to 11 normally) and getting 1 good player back.

 

I'm in agreement. Lets swing for the fences!

 

Logjam? Logjam of the type you find in your toilet. Without Martell we have no small forward of any quality, and even with him, he is very average at best. Of course we didn't get to see him play this year, and he was showing some good signs in pre season.

 

What if there was a bigger trade for another position (PG) involving Outlaw, Rudy or whoever, then this is an additional deal. That what this would seem like to me, since I know the front office is well aware of the log jams in the roster.

 

I know, I love Webster, which is why I don't want to see him stuck behind Salmons. Same with Batum.

And this would SERIOUSLY decrease Outlaw's minutes.

It could seriously hurt team chemistry.

 

Webster is very mediocre. He's a spot up shooter who really doesn't do anything else. There is a reason why Salmons would start over Marty.

 

You think Salmons is good? He's a marginal upgrade at best, putting up his numbers as the second option of a terrible Sacramento team. He's not a great defender, he's not a particularly good shooter, he's just a slightly above average player signed onto a decent contract.
