Haha. Me too. EVERY time I see this thread I see "Trade Whitsitt". I was going to post about it, but didn't. Until you brought it up.
Crabbe/Plums/Vonleh/2 Fists for Cousins/McLemore. Consolidates some of our young guys, give us another legit superstar player, and another young SG that Stotts can mold. Dame CJ/McLeMore/Patty Turner/Harkless/Layman Aminu/Davis Cousins/Ezeli/Leonard
This is going to sound dumb, but I wonder how cheap Bosh would be if he somehow magically got cleared and didn't have anymore problems?
I think he needs to be real cheap. Anyone would take a chance on him if he was cleared, but not if they had to give up much. Too risky to trade a good player for him. For the Blazers it might be too close to home considering the Jerome Kersey tragedy is still fresh in our minds. .
The Jazz wouldn't be able to get a guy like CJ for an expiring Hayward. They need depth in the frontcourt.
Then trade Harkless. I'm not saying we have to trade them specifically... I'm just tossing out possible names.
Ask people around you. Most of them nowadays are no longer oregon lifers. So many damn californians. Personally, though, id consider him an oregonian because he pretty much grew up in oregon during his childhood.
Not me. I'm a native. Born and raised. Screw California. They can keep their residents and their high housing prices. Stan Love is a real piece of work too. While in all my dealings with Kevin, he has been a class act, Oregonian is not a title I would bestow upon him.
I was born in the Alsea Mountains (Central Coastal range) without a doctor. My parents moved to Cali from when I was 6 months - 3 years. Then Moved to Portland until I was 9. Then I moved up to Seattle until Highschool. after Highschool I moved to CO and then NY. Am I a native Oregonian?
May seem silly but believe it or not, I had someone just last week tell me Im not a native Portlander... not Oregon, but still I was like... huh? Dude I know rthe town like the back of my hand. He has been here for 5 years. I laughed my ass off at him. I would consider Kevin Love a native.
He grew up in Oregon...he's Oregonian..spent almost his entire childhood here...people just got pissed at him because he didn't play for the Ducks after High School. He's the record holder for all Oregon's history in scoring at the high school level. My son moved here from overseas in second grade...grew up here, went to OSU and lives and works in Eugene...he's a local in my view.
Millsap will be a UFA next summer. Bad ju ju. Plus he'll be 32. Not exactly someone you want to max out.
