According to Brian Wheeler on the post game show:

Brendan Haywood

FOR

Rudy Fernandez
Nicolas Batum
2nd Round Pick

These are the types of trades it appears we're getting offered and it's why I'm not upset that we haven't made a significant trade to date...
 
Our SF of the future, who is our best perimeter defender already, with our best bench player for Haywood?

He must think KP is a fool.
 
For a team that's in fire sale mode, that's a pretty laughable offer. Hey Ernie, your the one who is desperate, not us.

BNM
 
We're looking for a stop-gap. I think KP ought to look elsewhere if Washington values Haywood this much.

Troy Murphy, anyone?
 
Disgusting. Why are we getting low-balled when our team is not the one with only 12 wins? Who's the desparate one here?
 
This proves what a pussy KP is. Clearly, there are trades available and he won't pull the trigger.
 
Ernie's just trying to keep his job. Unfortunately, he needs a little more perspective in order to keep it.
 
Brutal. Haywood is "nice" but as much as I'd like to see a decent center added to this roster for the rest of the season (and maybe beyond?) this is just a horrific proposal. My guess is that the Wizards anticipate a lot of juicy offers for their core players and figure they might as well try and sell high if they can. Something tells me Grunfeld's tune will change as the deadline approaches.

I tip my hate to EG for having a swinging pair of brass ones though.
 
batum for heyward in a heartbeat... throw in outlaw
 
Was anyone else included from our end? Rudy+ Nic for Haywood doesn't work.
 
What about going after Kurt Thomas? That guy is still a great post defender even at his age, can play in a running system, and is extremely smart.

Would you go straight up for him?

What about Brandon Bass? He might fit in here well long term, a front-court of Bass/Aldridge/Oden/Pendergraph could work great and be extremely versatile long-term. Why didn't Orlando play him at all tonight?

You're right. Rudy and Nic make about 2.4 million combined. Haywood makes 6 million. Not even close. Outlaw or Blake would have to be added to get the salaries close enough.

What I posted is what Wheels said was offered to KP. If there is a filler, I'm unsure of who it would be. Maybe our extra cap space is enough to absorb the difference.

I'd do one or the other ... well one really (the guy not named Nic), but both? I dunno, seems a steep price to pay for a guy who might be a half-season rental.

Yeah I was just kidding... it's a terrible offer. It would be one thing of the name "Caron Butler" was attached to that offer, but they think Haywood is worth Batum AND Rudy? EG needs to lay off that weed.
 
webster is our small forward... batum isnt even close on offense or rebounding. and in all honesty websters defense is just as good.

if we can do batum, blake or outlaw for heyward... its a no brainer for this year and next year.

heyward would give us a legit shot at advancing deeeep into playoffs.

batum is nothing to lose sleep over
 
Wheels said it to get a reaction from S2 because he knows just how manic this site can be.

I love Martell...He is my second favorite player on the team and I have defended him in multiple threads when people have bashed him but Batum is much better on defense and I expect there to be a great battle between those two for minutes later on this year and next year. Batum is going to be an incredible player in a few years when his offensive game is more polished...He isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
 
This is a wake-up call to Blazer fans, and probably a fair reflection of how the rest of the league sees the Blazers' young players.

There is a strong possibility Batum is never more than a nice role-player. If healthy, Rudy is a nice scorer off the bench who might be a marginal starter. Until he proves the back injury isn't going to be a chronic problem, many teams will be leery of him. (and with good reason)

Assuming KP even wants to make a deal, his best assets may be the expiring deals for Blake and Outlaw.

Do you think Batum is a polished player?
