it was initially traded to Houston, adn then Houston sent it to Minnesota. lotto protected 2013-16, then a 2nd rounder.
agreed. I'd like seeing nash play here. I think it's extremely short sighted and just stupid to make a 1 year push and give up your best future asset for it.
John Hollinger of ESPN.com writes in a chat... ------------------- The Blazers will move pretty much anybody except Aldridge and Batum, and they might even move Batum if the right Canadian point guard came along. So yes, expect conversations involving Wallace, Felton, Crawford, Camby and Matthews. http://www.blazersedge.com/2012/3/8/2855052/hollinger-expect-wesley-matthews-trade-conversations
It looks bad, but what if we got Phoenix's protect first rounder? What if we trade Crawford to Minny for Utah's first rounder and Ridnour?
IF we got an unprotected or lightly protected pick from Phoenix, then fine. IF we get Utah's unprotected pick from Minny then fine. However if we trade Batum for Nash then fuck the Blazers. If we trade Crawchuck's sorta expiring for Ridnour's non expiring then fuck the Blazers
Dont get your panties in a bunch. No way we trade a young potential stud like Batum for Nash, even though he is a current All Star. We all know Nash only has 2-3 good years left. Batum has 10+ good years.
Come on, get Rondo! We need to rebuild but if we landed Rajon it would make that process quicker. Nash is a stopgap PG due to his age. This is as obvious as the Faried/Smith pick.
Nothing directly about the Blazers but still interesting: http://www.hoopsworld.com/josh-smit...ded&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Why? He's an undersized PF who can't play SF or C. By making that move you either piss him off even more by bringing him off the bench (on his hefty salary) or you play LaMarcus out of position at Center. We need help at PG. Desperately.
"@kmccuen2121: @mikerice6 mike I thought there was a trade happening? TWOLVES?"give it time. Still have 7 days..
They should go Batum/Felton/Pick for Rondo. Then G. Wallace/Matthews/change for Josh Smith. PG - Rondo SG- Crawford/Williams SF - Josh Smith PF - LA C - Who gives a fuck
