    In order...

    LeBron James
    Kevin Durant
    Deron Williams
    Dwight Howard


    I would rather have Brandon then all of them, but I am just going with the thread idea and not being a pussy and laughing at the thread.

    Considering Roy's age there are only a few players worth trading him for in order of preference:
    LeBron - No explination needed.
    Wade - A game much like Roy's with superior defense.
    CP3 - He would make Oden, LMA and Batum look like all stars.
    Carmello Anthony - Most effortless scorer in the league with improving defense.

    If Portland just wants to make a trade to get a title in the next two years, damn the future the list would include:
    Duncan - Best power forward ever? Yes please.
    Kobe - I hate this fucker but there isn't anyone in the league who wants to win as bad, who is as tough and as dangerous as Kobe. Ever wanted to see someone scream at Blake when he sucks ass? Kobe would. Replace Roy with Kobe and keep the rest of the roster and they are a title contender next year. Though in all fairness if they can stay healthy next year they are a title contender with Roy.

    Laughing at the people saying none of the above, or only Lebron.


    Roy is a slow down guard who can't, or doesn't want to work with a certain player type, and has bad wheels. He is great, and I am happy he is ours, but c'mon man!!!

    LeBron
    Wade
    Paul
    Williams

    I would never want Dwight Howard to be the best player on my team. He gets pissy when he doesn't get the ball, but he has one offensive move and can't make free throws.

    A list of five people is still pretty short for a guy with so many shortcomings.

    I wouldn't want to trade Roy! Love the guy.


    However:


    Boozer + Williams + NY Knicks #1 pick


    Roy + Miller + Outlaw



    Williams / Bayless / Mills
    Rudy / Webster (he can play a 2) / NY #1 Pick (go for a scorer)
    Batum / Cunningham
    LA / Pendergraph
    Boozer / Oden / Pryz

    This, I think, is one of the only trades I like from you. Ever. And this is a fantastic trade! But they would not do it. We would have to give Batum, Bayless and not get their pick. But I would still do that. Hands down.

    I looked it up, it would have to be more like Joel\Miller\Roy\Outlaw for Williams and Millsap. But I would still consider that. But I would want the pick too from Utah.

    In all seriousness, Lebron is the only player that I'd trade Roy for. If this team wins championship(s) I want Roy as the guy who leads us there.

    I really think it's sad that Durant makes some of your lists. Does that mean you would have taken KD over Oden?

    No. It means they'd have taken KD over Roy. :cheers:

    That's not an insult, though. Professional, highly-paid GMs who actually HAVE a clue took Bargnani, Foye, Williams, Morrison and Thomas instead of Roy.

    So true. Look at LBJ, Wade, and Bosh. All three cities are sweating it out this year.
