    I could definitely get behind RIP being the 6th man

    If this trade happens, you can get behind RIP - if you become a Bulls fan; Rip is to Chitown, not PDX.

    Maybe the blazers feel comfortable that Batum can get enough minutes at the 2 and 3 spot.

    Rip would be going to Chicago, not Portland.
    I duno if I commented in the other thread, but I'd do it. Of course, I'd like to know what else is going on, if Deng is staying here, and Batum going out, or Deng just providing depth, and being an expensive backup.

    Will this trade happen before or after we trade for CP3 and is this something that we should have a rally about?

    So confused...

    If Allen is willing to spend to keep guys like Oden and Batum and future MLE players then I'd be very excited about adding Deng. He is a quality starter, yes he is quite overpaid but if the only opportunity cost is Joel's contract and Bayless I think it's a great deal.

    I'm not so sure about Rip and Roy fitting together very well. His contract is more reasonable then Deng but I'd rather have the player Deng.

    Actually, this is part of the preparation leading up to the acquisition of CP3. NO is wanting at least one "name" player back and so we are trading Pryz/Bayless for Deng (thus giving us a 'disposable' name player) so we can then package him with other assorted warm bodies in exchange for CP3. In the end, we have Oden, LMA, Batum, Roy & CP3 as our starting five.

    You heard it here first. :grin:

    deng is a really bad idea. the blazers better not do this deal. batum is already better than deng and a lot less expensive.

    Acquiring Deng would be part of another deal, IMO.

    I just want him to stop pretending he invented the term "Rip City".

    You give the current management too much credit.

    I think they should hake a hard run for Tony Parker using Andre, Batum, Rudy & parts if they aquire Deng.
