    Or would Detroit spit out their lunch laughing at our offer?

    Portland deals: Webs, Outlaw and Blake
    They get: Prince

    Detroit trades: Prince
    they get: Webs, Outlaw and Blake

    Detroit = +2 wins, Portland = -6 wins according to hollinger's analysis

    I guess the main reason why I like the prince idea is he reminds me so much of Batum. I would love for Batum to be under Prince's wing and when the time comes, they can switch roles.

    Isn't Prince out indefinitely with a back problem?

    I didn't know. Is he? I only watch Blazer games now. My tradition! I get to see every team, only when they play the blazers. :cheers:

    Yeah, he has a ruptured disc in his lower back and is out indefinitely.

    I honestly wouldn't trade for any player with a ruptured disk in their back. Ever.

    I would still make that trade, and I'd bet Detroit still wouldn't

    As someone with 2 ruptured disks, I concur.

    Prince is done as a fulltime player.

    It's really sad. I was a huge Prince fan. The dude was all about team first.

    I would do it, minus the back injury!

    I didn't know Prince was hurt like that.

    There was a (fairly) hot rumor that he was headed to the Clips, until the injury was diagnosed. If the story was at all true, Detroit was asking for Kaman. That is a heck of a lot more than Portland would have offered.

    With the injury, his value is near zero.
