    Let's go on the record guys... not who you think we'll trade for, but who you want us to trade for. Assume it'll be RLEC + sergio + outlaw.

    I voted Butler, but I'd also be very happy with Wallace. I would be less happy about Carter or RJ, and I want no part of Salmons.

    1) Butler

    2) RJeff

    3) Wallace

    4) Carter

    5) Salmons


    Caron is on my wish list, but I wouldn't be dissapointed with RJeff -I think at 29, he just needs a jolt. I've watched him play several times this year, and he's the same guy to me he was 3 years ago when he wants to be. Wallace? Can he finally stay healthy? He's athletic and can defend, but he's not the greatest shooter and his always hurt.

    I would say Butler, but REC plus Sergio plus Travis does not even come close to matching up.

    I voted for Jefferson. I think he will be the best fit with Roy. He does not need to dominate the ball. He can hit the open three, slash to the hoop drawing fouls and plays decent defense. He has all of the playoff experience that our young team needs. Reasonable contract for his age and we give up nothing of consequence for him. I think Batum could learn a lot from him.

    I would never want Carter on my Blazers.

    Wallace and Butler are not being salary dumped so they are not really available to Portland.

    Salmons is a joke, right? No playoff experience. Decent contract but Sac wants to bolt him to a bad contract so no.

    If the players out were the same, I'd take Butler.

    Butler is not attainable, mine as well put LBJ up there. I chose Wallace.

    So the fact that Abe Polin is losing millions and is in desperate need for some cash doesn't mean a thing?

    While it might cost us some pretty nice young talent and a contract back, I would assume Butler is available.

    Vince Carter. Because it so happens that the year his contract expires is also the year that Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Devin Harris become free agents. Coincidence? I think not.

    If that package gets you Butler, you take it.

    That package won't get you Butler, so it is a false choice and a skewed poll.

    That package - or something close - might get you Gerald Wallace - in which case I take that.

    I would rather have this: Wallace for RLEC + sergio + outlaw

    Compared to this: Butler for RLEC + Bayless + Batum + Bad contract coming back.
