He can dazzle them with his spreadsheet prowess. "I have got a REALLY BIG spreadsheet to show you guys."
No offense HCP, but it appears that he doesn't even know who you are in either pick. My guess is you were stalking him FAMS.
I like Oden, but I'd do Miller, Przybilla, Oden, Batum, and Rudy for CP3 and Peja (contract). Preferably not Batum though... Paul, Roy, Batum, Aldridge, Camby is EPIC win.
I wouldn't do that trade. I'm really not sure we would be any better and still our best chance to win a championship is if Oden actually stays healthy and is one of the top centers in the league. We might as well stick with Oden even though his health is a big problem. Even though CP3 is great he wouldn't get us a championship without Oden and not even Batum. Plus I have a feeling he would leave for the Knicks, Magic or Heat in a couple years. Maybe if CP3 agreed to extend his contract before we traded for him It might make me reconsider but probably not.
Well my peeps laughed at what your peeps claimed, saying its completely false, and they tell me that the Blazers are close to accepting an offer that includes three teams and has CP3 coming to Portland, Brandon Roy going to the Lakers, and Pau Gasol going to New Orleans. The other pieces are still being worked out, but those are the 3 big ingredients. They tell me that Rich Cho is not impressed with Brandon, considers him overrated, and thinks by getting CP3, the Blazers should win at least 5-10 more games next season and make it to the NBA Finals. Cho is also high on Rudy Fernandez, who will likely get the vacant starting position to give him more playing time so that he'll stay with the team. . .
