If we're gonna do this, do it after the LA game. If it happens now or tomorrow, we won't have either Harris or Dre for that very important game. Besides that, I don't like giving up Rudy in addition. I'd throw in Babbit first.
Good post. WRepped. Should go for a Pascal like "begin... end" syntax because it is... wait for it... more English like!
It kind of sucks, but you absolutely have to take this deal if you are Portland. Must get younger. Waiting to hear the final proposal.
I'd probably give up Babbit for a 2nd rounder, I just dont think he has value. If we trade Rudy instead of Babbit its the other teams preference.
Indeed, Very bitter sweet. Dre has been my favorite player over the last year. True glue guy. Hope the final deal doesn't include Rudy, I think he's yet to reach his ceiling and will if he stays in the right place
On trading Rudy... 1. Perhaps cho will find a replacement with another trade 2. We will trade a pick instead. 3. Rudys replacement might be Roy.
Link to their stats for this year, Miller vs Harris for anyone interested: http://www.basketball-reference.com...m=0&p1=millean02&y1=2011&p2=harride01&y2=2011 Just about the same. Although I agree that Millers alley-oops probably get us about 6-10 points a game.
Honestly, in all this Melo & Harris BS I'd rather keep Dre and somehow end up with Billups as our backup pg. Dre & Billups would be fine for the next 3 years. And 3 years is an eternity in NBA years.
lets not forget IMO there is a good chance we are "buying" Harris low, the guy can play and for several reasons may be having an off yr,
Except that he's not really having an off-year. His PER is right in-line with the rest of his career averages, but on the plus side his assist rate and assist totals are way up.
Why do people even discuss rumors when they never happen. Its obvious the 'fragrant one' is sitting on his hands again. Stick a fork in it, were toast.
