A trade for Shumpert and Chandler would give the Blaxers a title.

If NY keeps losing they will sell for cheap. Draft picks, Meyers, T Rob, Freeland, Claver, do what ever you have to do, just make it happen. Chandler won put the Mavs over the top with a similar team and he's still young enough that he could do the same here, and Shumpert is exactly what the Blazers need. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this happen Paul Allen

 

31 is young in basketball age?

I like Chandler, but the injuries concern me.

 

Espn is a joke, I don't care what that shit says. What game are we going too?

 

Risk/reward! Pull the trigger!! You can't predict injuries, we are due to get some breaks.

 

So an injured center and a sg who shoots 33% from the field is the answer?

 

Yes. if you actually watch basketball and realize Shumpert is being used wrong and Chandler is not injury prone you would agree.

 

You pick! follow me back on twitter and we will decide, we just need to sit close vs a good team.

 

Don't say "can't predict injuries" in a blazer forum. Have you learned nothing?

Or, "Due to get some breaks". You're just tempting things now.

Again, I like Chandler, but the last thing we need to do is take any of the depth we have (whether good or not) and trade for a injury prone guy with now NO depth behind that. You trade Meyers and Freeland we now have Chandler as our only big down low coming off the bench (with Robinson now as our only 4). I understand all trades have risk/reward... but IF either of Lopez or Chandler go down we are now royally screwed and are having to get 10 day contract guys.

 

Chandler is not injury prone! Where are you getting this from? Stop worrying about the Blazers past. The guy will be back 100% soon.

 

Oh ok I will start watching. So the 15 million dollars in salary to trade for these guys......who will that be? That will win us the title?

 

I would give us a dam good shot at winning the title in my opinion.

 

I will send you a twitter message now.

 

It is interesting, on his BBref site he has played in a lot of games recently with NYK, even though it seems he hasn't. 08-10 though, he didn't play often. Trying to recall if it was from injury.

The fact is, though, is he does seem oft injured. Maybe it's inundation of the media, but I've watched plenty of Knicks game where he hasn't played. Although he's played 60+ in the last two years. No idea how that is.

Though, to be fair, he's only played in 9 of the close to 30 games this year.

 

From an injury.... I don't know where I get that from when he's injured. boggles my mind. 08-10 he missed a lot of time, too.

 

Fine, don't make the trade. Lose in the first or at best second round. Congrats.

 

I'm just trying to purpose something that I really think would get this team over the top.

 

One thing you need to do is to calm down with the emotional stuff.

I mean, 5 players for 2? Now we have at most 8 people on our bench and have to fill the rest up with scrubs. Older people are more prone to injuries, it's just fact and father time. We lose either Lopez or Chandler (who again, I'm not opposed to getting. I'm concerned. Don't let your emotions cloud that.) for any length of time and now we have the other playing 35+ minutes with Trob has our only other one playing center (or LMA).

I know we're in a win now mode, and I don't mind the trade. It just scares me. Realize what I said there before you get defensive.
