Trades that "move the needle"

How about your TWolves trade Love, Rubio and Kevin Martin for Carmello Anthony and J.R. Smith. This would get you a superstar in Anthony and really allow guys like Pek and Barea to blossom and spread their wings. Plus you're getting a potential 6th man of the year in J.R. Smith. Once Budinger comes back you're looking at WCF at a minimum.

 

I won't be able to sit on hard surfaces for a week.

 

why don't your Lakers trade Kobe for Melo straight up

 

If olshey could manage to bring in Horford without having to deal Wes or Batum, he definitely is a unanimous choice for GM of the year. A starting 5 of Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge and Horford would be the strongest starting 5 in the league. Hands down!

Then you add bench pieces of Robin Lopez, T rob, Mo Williams, Freeland, and Wright; and that's even more formidable!

 

Rep worthy! I would rep if I wasn't on my phone

 

Have you been drinking your aquaponic water again, Mags?

 

Ask why OKC or Miami why they didn't sweep their easy road opponents.

 

I didn't say both Matthews and Batum. I was giving them one or the other.

 

Miami is on cruise control after 3 straight finals appearances and OKC is missing their second best player

 

Westbrook was there when they lost on the road.

 

I like how the mods just let you guys beat up on the Timberpup fans until they've had enough and post their usual pics, resulting in a ban.

 

I think both Portland and my Warriors should be going after the same guy to help with interior defense and that's Ekpe Udoh. He would be cheap to aquire and has a decent enough post game for a backup 4/5 but most importantly he seems to know his role and won't mess up chemistry. What do you guys think of him?

As far as the trade in the OP, there is no way you get Melo for Batum. This thread reminds me of when the warriors were going after Howard and I swore that I didn't want him, he would ruin chemistry, and I would rather have Bogut. In my heart though, I know that Howard is the much better player. Same thing here. You all may hate Melo, and I do too, but he is miles ahead of Batum and it would certainly take LMA + to get him.

 

Low blow, man. You can insult my momma, but don't ever call me a Laker fan.

 

The OP is from a Minnesota fan masquerading as a Blazers fan and in a matter of hours or maybe even days he's going to post a bunch of pics of schlongs and then get banned - and the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.

 

It's weird cause warriors and Blazers have the same type of philosophy defensively. I think right now, the Warriors are better paint scorers, but they distribute the ball much like the blazers. I'm up for tomorrow's game! Should be a fun one!

As for your trade proposal, who are you thinking to use for the exchange?

 

Minny hatred runs deep. I mean they can't even finish off sub .500 teams on the road. They are just terrible!

 

36 posts, and on ignore. Congratulations, troll.

 

I'm hoping he could be had for a couple 2nd round picks because that's about all gs could give up but if I'm Portland, I'd really consider McCollum. Maybe he turns out to be good but its not a sure thing. Even in the best case scenario, I don't think he can play with lillard so he would be a 6th man and, in that role, I think he's very replaceable.

I'll be at the game tomorrow. Should be fun with both teams on the 2nd night of a b2b.

 

I’m amazed Udoh played 19 minutes against us and recorded 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, and 0 blocks. He did contribute a few turnovers and a missed shot though.

No way in hell we consider giving up CJ for him I'm not sure if we even give up Joel Freeland for him.

 

There is a Knicks player I’d be interested in trading for, Tyson Chandler. If NY is well under .500 I’d at least make the phone call. CJ, Meyers, TRob, a couple of future draft picks. If they are going to lose Melo in free agency or line up another trade to get rid of Melo and rebuild perhaps they consider it. It seems like a deal that is more likely in the offseason if they can’t resign Melo.

One other name, Anderson Varejao. He is on a reasonable $9million contract that expires after next season same as most of our current deals. The Cavs could be a mess and looking to cut his salary as well as tank if the next few months don’t go well. I wouldn’t trade CJ for him but if it was Meyers, Freeland, Claver and Crabbe I’d make the deal. It isn’t a “move the needle” trade but it would give us one of the better backup centers in the league who could do the dirty work. His hair would match Lopez too!
