    The Blazers offered Steve Blake(notes), rookie Jeff Pendergraph(notes) and a first-round pick for Haywood. When Washington countered by asking for swingman Rudy Fernandez(notes), the Blazers declined. Blazers owner Paul Allen is a big fan of Fernandez.

    Haywood turned down a four-year, $35 million contract extension from Washington last summer, but a source said the Mavericks hope to re-sign him after the season.

    The Lakers have tried to move Luke Walton(notes) and Sasha Vujacic(notes) to shed some salary before Thursday’s trade deadline. One league source the Lakers have even had discussions with one of their Pacific Division rivals: the Blazers. The Blazers, the source said, seem more focused on landing a big man.

    Most likely they were after Blake and his expiring deal.

    I'm not surprised it went no where. Sasha and Luke are scrubs.

    Please god no. Luke would be "ok" due to his bball IQ (his skill sucks) and it'd be cool for a LUUUUUUUUUKEEE chant......sasha is fucking terrible though. Get "The Stache". I don't want any player on the L*kers though. they would just blow up in the triangle, you know they would.

    You're right, even Yahoo Sports writers subconsciously think Portland should be in the Pacific Division.

    Not sure I would trust an article by a guy who doesn't know that Portland is in the Northwest Division.

    I don't think he'd look all that great. He's a big body and a decent center, but not enough to really make a significant difference for this team in the short or long run.

    That Portland was willing to give up Pendergraph and a first for him is sort of surprising to me.

    how should he have "got creative"? let us hear how you would do a better job please.

    if you could think outside the box you would realize that you can start bashing kpoop for not trading for gooden now, because he is likely available for a 2nd rounder and outlaw.

    Baloney. KP offered too much for Haywood in the first place. Blake, Pendergraph, and a 1st round pick? Way too much!

    Wow, Washington is stupid. They could have easily moved Butler on his own. To pair him with Stevenson and Haywood for strictly expirings, when he was offered a 1st rounder and young big in Pendergraph is absurd. Fail to see how KP could have done anything else, since we didn't have a big expiring to tak eon Butler and Stevenson, but I can see it's Mixum just being a fucking douche again, and the mods somehow seeing that as posting with honorable intentions. yippeee

    Blake/Pendergraph/1st strikes me as pretty good value for an average center like Haywood. And Fernandez is not in the last year of his contract. According to Hoopshype, he's got a player option in 2011-12, after this year and next. So, obviously the Wizards were after more than just expiring deals - if this report is correct, and Washington asked for Rudy.

    Rudy is on his rookie scale deal, there are no player options, just options for the team to pick him up.
