Official Petition to Trade _______ for a defensive big

Feel free to enter Barton, Leonard, Claver, Crabbe, Freeland, Wright in the blank spot above. A solid defensive center who can spell Lopez and block shots would provide a huge boost to this bench.

If including a starter like Batum try and target a starting caliber center or get multiple pieces back in return. (Multiple pieces implies a starter, and a couple bench guys or draft picks.)

Please Neil Olshey trade Meyers Leonard and pieces for a legit big man like Taj Gibson or Pyscho T.

 

Batum ain't going anywhere. I think you can get something using Mo and Meyers.

 

Trading Batum is just stupid. Batum is the only SF with enough speed to keep in front of the elite point guards in the league and that will come in very handy in the playoffs.

 

I would rather swap Mo for someone like Hinrich if CJ shows us he can be effective off the bench offensively.

If we could move Batum for Pondexter Allen and Koufous I would be down with that.

 

We're not trading Mo. He's an "Olshey" guy, and unless its a HUGE upgrade, not happening.

These are just terrible ideas BTW. Batum is such a glue guy. The only guys I wouldn't miss...aren't really playing right now.

 

The whole damn point was to enter the persons name you want in the the blank spot. My name I chose was Meyers Leonard.

 

Will The Thrill Barton. I just don't see a place here for him, he's essentially a Nate Robinson type. Sometimes he'll shoot you in a game, but he can shoot you out as well.

Not much trade value though. Same with Meyers Leonard, maybe if you package all the guys we don't play at all, we may be able to come up with a decent backup for Joel Freeland.

 

I agree. Mo, Meyers and maybe even claver could net you a good player. I kind of like the idea of a Jeremy Lin or Kirk Hinrich though especially if the Blazers are going to be so high on CJ. Then you could go shopping in the free agent market.

 

Jeremy Lin will be an asian Mo Williams.

 

Batum? Are you drunk?

There isn't a second stringer on the roster who isn't available depending on the player coming back. That's my list. Generic enough? .

 

Obligatory "22-5" reference.

 

It says a lot when I know this OP's M.O. so well that he would take me seriously when I wrote:

Brain control people. Brain... Control.

 

Leonard will give you a Popsicle

 

Hahahaha and the truth shall set you free..

 

What was wrong with my proposal? None of you guys like him anyway. I think I might be his only fan or supporter.

 

I have no issue in trading Mo if CJ is playing well otherwise dealing our best bench player for a defensive big does not help. Getting someone willing to take Crabbe, Barton, Claver or Leonard who are barely getting minutes would be a lot more beneficial.

 

22-5 with the guys we have
