Would You???

Rudy, Jeff Pendergraph, and our 22nd Pick for Minnesota’s 4th???

And pick up Favors or whoever else the Blazers are targeting?

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ummm ... *cough* ... yes.

(I'd maybe also trade Bayless, Mills and Claver plus the 22nd pick to move up to 1st and take Wall).

 

Yes, I'd do that; but Minny wouldn't unless under the influence.

 

I think (honestly) this is a reasonable package

 

How?

 

Then you are dreaming my friend, that is horrible for Minny

 

Possibly because its the only way they get rubio over???

I guess im undervaluing the #4 pick

 

This.

 

I think the #22 for the #4 straightup is pretty reasonable, but if we have to add Pendy to the mix, I say nay.

 

No I wouldn't, that's just giving up too much value.

I'd want to see at the least Kevin Love added into this trade. But I'd possibly be willing to include a future second round pick.

 

Oh heck no, it’s not worth that much. The #22 has a lower salary for FOUR years plus a lower qualifying offer amount on the 5th year. The #22 let’s them cut future salary, so if anything it is worth just a bit MORE than the #4. I think they should have to send us a nice young player just so we allow them to swap picks.

 

I can't tell if the last few posts were serious or sarcastic....

 

Oh I think you can. Don't sell yourself short.

 

Most of the time you would be right, however sometimes the homerism on this board knows no bounds.

 

This thread is lawl.

 

Right now it's 13-1 in favor. I imagine if you put this question on Minnesota's forum, the results would be 1-13 against.

 

No. Rudy would be an All-Star on any other team, Pendergraph is the next PJ Brown and the #22 pick will be converted by Pritchard into another Rudy.

The #4 pick is nice and all, but not worth gutting our future for.

Man, why do all the trades suggested on this forum hose Portland?

 

Ok you’re just being silly saying that the #22 will be converted into another quality player, the draft is unpredictable and a bit of a crap shoot. Yes the #22 has value, especially in a year such as this with a deep talent pool, but we don’t know what kind of player it would ultimately fetch. It could be a Michael Redd or Carlos Boozer but it just as easily could be a CJ Brunson or Sergi Monya….

However you do bring up a great point about Rudy, we would be trading them an All-star level talent, which would help them bring over Rubio, who is another all-star talent. So we’d essentially be trading two all-stars, a first round pick in one of the deepest drafts in years, and a rising young big man with 4 years of college experience who has made the playoffs his entire NBA career… All we want in return is the overpaid #4 pick, I bet Minnesota would jump all over that trade in a second.
