    The first one is meh... I'm not really sold on Aaron Brooks honestly.

    The second one is definitely a no go. Giving up Matthews, Rudy, and Miller for Chauncey Billups and Aaron Afflalo? Yikes.

    That's how I see them as well.

    Brooks has been awful this year.

    Don't like number 1 or 2 at all. I'd do number 3 to get a young PG, but it seems like the Bobcats would get better offers.

    There aren't many options for trades...I was trying to find reasonable ones...I realize Brooks is having a tough year. He needs a change of scenery, he's obviously frustrated and off his game. The second trade I did with Denver would give us another a leader and 3 pt shooter for when Roy comes back to play off of him plus Afflalo who's similar to Matthews but way cheaper. Lastly, this trade would definitely make us better but highly unlikely!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The problem to me, with Brooks, is that last year was his only good one. At this point, I'd be much more concerned that last year was the fluke, rather than this one. I'm not at all convinced that he's a good starter in terms of talent. So far, he profiles more as a good reserve.

    Sug,
    If you've got something better, let's hear it! At this point there only a few names out there worth going after...Harris, Ellis, Wallace, and Iguodala. Unfortunately, at this point everyone is waiting for Melo's situation to be resolved...kinda a boring trade deadline right now.

    Good for the Blazers. Not so much for the Bobs.

    I am a huge believer in this team needing to move forward with a trade, but both of those trades are pretty bad for Portland. I think if ou threw a first at the Bobs and replace Cunningham with Rudy, they would think about it.

    A trade I'd look at is JPEC for Biedrins. It'll save GS close to $30m and provide LaMarcus with a rebounder/defender next to him, who's still only 24 btw.

    I think that for better or for worse, this franchise is still banking on the Oden wagon. I don't know if they are willing to commit $10 Million a year to another center.

    I wish we would have went after Gortat though. He's looking mighty good in extended minutes and he's cheaper than Biedrins.
