But I keep hearing how next year will be the worst draft class in forever given the CBA rules change scaring off many potential draftees...
exactly, no way we would take Miami's pick, plus Camby is a 10 mil contract - who do they send back? I think as we get closer to the deadline there could be a few teams who really want a C like Camby and we get a better pick or a good player back.
What I like about Camby is that he wants to be in Ptd and doesn't want to be traded, even to a team like the Heat. I know the Blazers have to make business decisions, but I hope Camby isn't one of them. I don't think I ever seen anyone assimilate to Ptd as fast as he has. He shops at the local malls, attends local sporting events (Like Ptd v Kentucky), has his girls in club soccer and attends their games. Camby is a good family man, good representative of the community and wants to finish his career in Ptd (besides leaving it all out on the court every night) . . . I hope we don't trade him.
camby for juwan howard shavlik randolph james jones and jamaal magloire! it could be a big frickin' blazer cast-off reunion.
2017 will be here before you know it. There's a 12 year old in Los Angeles I have my eye on. But, never mind her. Who could we draft in 2017? barfo
Why would Dampier want to join a crappy Heat squad, who can't even beat the Pacers at home right now? D-Wade going on an 1-11 FG night with 3 points.
If MIA loses tonight to the Pacers in Miami, POR and the Heat will have the same record. Why should we rebuild, while they make a push for the playoffs?
Trading Camby for anything less than an impact player that will help in the future would be pointless. His contract is only two years long and the Blazers are a playoff and he's the best center on the roster. Trading him for esentially cap space would be dumb considering the Blazers can't really do anything substantial with it.
you guys are crazy, all stories involving teams from Portland and Miami are broken by sports radio hosts from Connecticut.
Just talking about 1st round picks for Przybilla--Cleveland can exchange any 2 picks in the years 2013-17, right? That was for LeBron. When did Miami trade 1st rounders to Toronto? Or are you talking about 2nd rounders?
Miami and Toronto worked out a S&T for both Bosh and Lebron. Cleveland got 2013 and 2015 first rounders, as well as the right to swap picks in, I think, 2012. Toronto got their own 2011 pick back from I think the Jermain O'Neal deal. Or Shawn Marion. And Miami's 2011 first round pick. As well as 2 second rounders, I believe. So the earliest they could move one would be 2017. Now, granted their big 3 will likely be gone by then, but I don't want to move a player right now for a pick 7 years down the road. And since Cho will likely be judged and fired on performance, I don't think he wants to secure a pick 7 years from now for an asset.
