Whatever trade we make CJ needs to be part of it. NEEDS TO. http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=pjptcdn
Green is better than Afflalo, so why wouldn't it get done? I'm pretty confident that Denver would trade either Afflalo or chandler if our 1st round pick is involved.
OKC has been close to trading Reggie Jackson to Denver. If there is some possible way to get Jackson without giving too much then sign me up. I'd give OKC 2 expiring contracts and a first rounder for Jackson!
I'd give up quite a bit to get Reggie Jackson ... just don't see OKC trading him to the division leader midseason though.
I'd hope so, he fits the need we have. He is obtainable too, probably could get him for T-Rob and Barton. I'd like to see a move for turner, we need to take a small risk to solidify some firepower off the bench, another guy I like that gets a lot of hate is Jeremy Lin, he is expiring and he can score, he will make mistakes but what 6th man doesn't?
I wouldn't want Lin, not because he sucks, but because we need that wing that can get to the line. Lin isn't that type of player
What about someone like Anthony Tolliver? Pistons are pretty much done after losing Jennings, and he'd come fairly cheap. Known as a great team guy and locker room presence so I wouldn't think there would be chemistry issues to worry about.
At this point I just want a player who can handle the ball and score, Lin isn't a terrible finisher (from what I've seen) either. I think crabbe is the wing we need, he just needs more minutes.
Afflalo, Turner, or Beasley, depending on the cost. Afflalo would be solid. Turner and Beasley come with some personality risk (especially Turner). Beasley would cost nothing more than opening up a roster spot. I'd take the chance.
The Blazers don't need a blockbuster trade. They just will need more scoring off the bench from the SF or SG position.
Lin might not be as bad as people think. I've said before just because a guy doesn't fit into one system doesn't mean he wont fit into the next. Lin needs to find the right system to play in to be effective.
Watching chandler and Afflalo tonight. If evan turner didn't have personality issues he'd be my choice.
"In particular, Olshey said he wants a player with specific qualities: A shooter who is also a willing passer as well as a smart defender." Yeah you're right Lin and Evan Turner are the players to put the Blazers over the top.
