That's certainly interesting. Love the motor, and the nasty attitude would be great if he and Bayless could infect their teamates. That said, chemistry would be a pretty major question mark. I feel like the team has the 1 thru 3 pretty well locked up and actually needs to send a couple guys at those positions to other teams. It's the 4/5 that look shaky. Barring some kind of crazy Canzano wet dream move for LeBron I think our focus should be on a hard nosed defender/rebounder with a back to the basket game who has range on the baseline to 10 or 12 feet. Preferably a 4/5 swingman. Not sure who that would be any ideas? Untouchables: Roy, Batum, Oden (we wouldn't get even CLOSE to value for him due to injuries) and Bayless. Hard to pry from my grasp: Rudy, Martell. Trade bait: Miller, Blake, Outlaw and LMA (I know I've been dogging him but we SHOULD get value no Jamison trade *chuckle*) Two guys I think Blazers have to value more then other teams are Cunninghame and Pendergraph. I see real solid lunchpail guys for our bench in those two. on the CHEAP.
NO chance of getting Noah. Our opportunity was probably a year and a half ago. But, most don't like to buy low, so at the time, it was easier to mock his stats and say he's ugly.
I would love to add more "nasty" to the team. But I agree with you. That is why I said I figured it wouldn't happen. Sometimes it is good to recognize guys who might fit your system, and dream a little.
Why would the Bulls part with him though? But you're right he is kind of like the anti-LMA, he's got zero offensive game and is basically a hyper-athletic version of Joel Przybilla.
Back to the title of the thread . . . aren't the Wizards everybody's most likely trading partner? Everyone assumes that with their payroll and win-loss record that they are in "dump" mode. I would guess there are several teams calling about Haywood, Butler, & Jamison.
