    Batum goes straight to the bench IMHO. Crash/Matthews/LMA/Camby (if still around) is a formidable defensive and fasbreak rotation.

    I fail to see how Wallace does not DRASTICALLY help the Blazers RIGHT NOW! The guy went to the line last night like 15 times

    dwight thinks batum could be moved

    Adrian Wojnarowski, who is right a whole lot more often than he's wrong, has tweeted that Portland is getting close to a deal for Charlotte small forward Gerald Wallace.

    But why? I mean, the guy has a long injury history, including a couple of concussions, I believe. He's a great hustle guy but yet another player who doesn't shoot well from long range. Aren't there enough poor three-point shooters on this team already?

    I like him a lot as a player, when he's healthy. But I don't like him so much for this team. And I wouldn't give up Nic Batum for him. And I wouldn't bring him to a team that already had Nic Batum.

    So would this open the way for Batum to be sent elsewhere? I might be onboard for something like that.

    im sorry but dwight is retarded and im sure most everyone else thinks so too.... if we have crash coming off the bench taking 3/4 minutes and aldridge sliding to the 5 there will be enough minutes for crash easy. and you could ease camby into coming back if you needed to as well. i dont think dwight quite gets what the blazers would be getting and why. it all depends on who we give up, which if its pryz + filler (rudy, babbit, williams, cunningham?) im all for it

    Do NOT trade Nic. He's one of our only shooters.

    He would immediately become the team's 2nd best player. Yea, adding him would suck.

    Agreed.

    Take on his salary. Send a first rounder for him. But don't give up Batum for him.

    Don't worry. Paul Allen wouldn't trade Batum for LeBron straight up.

    Duh. Even PA can't circumvent the CBA. We'd have to add Andre and Joel.

    I'd trade Batum before Matthews. I'm sure that's blasphemy around here, but I think he's going to be the more consistent, successful player when all is said and done.
