    Would they? They have Lee at SG and they just drafted Terrence Williams at SF. They need a PF most, and, if they traded Harris, a PG. (Which Bayless isn't.)

    So Blake plus Outlaw for Felton signed at 7 million per works. He can hit the occasional three...but do we need another three point shooter? We already shoot the three well enough. Fernandez, Turkoglu (assuming we sign him), Roy, Batum and Webster (assuming he returns) all shoot the three well enough.

    He's such a defensive upgrade that I think it'd be worth the drop in three point shooting.

    They need to collect assets so they can put together a package for Rubio. Rubio and Rudy would be a nice draw.

    I would kill for Devin Harris. I think that we would have a lot to offer, but probably not enough. I'm hesitant to trade Rudy/Batum, but I'm willing to give up Przybilla (sadly, but I would for Harris), Bayless, Outlaw, 1sts, Cash and take back contracts. Still wouldn't be enough though.

    I think you'd have to start with one member of Rod Thorn's family and threaten more. That's about the only way this is going to happen.

    That is insane to even suggest killing one of Thorn's family members. Now Rod himself.............

    I looked for a tough power forward that Portland could trade for, but there isn't really any that would work with Outlaw's 4 million dollar contract.

    So really, I don't have a trade for Outlaw. His salary is either too high for most rookies or too low for vets.

    Amir Johnson is out because he just got traded a week ago.

    Ronnie Turiaf works, but his production is sadly way lower then Outlaw's.

    Unless you package Outlaw with another player, he isn't really going to bring much back in return.
