    I heard it was a two year deal with a one year out for Crawford. If it is a one year deal, or a two year deal where we have an out, then it could coincide with rebuilding.

    The multiple picks you would get for Wallace is why you would deal him. If you are rebuilding/retooling then you want picks

    This has to be a part of something else. We're sending out a starter for future picks when we're already thin in talent.

    Maybe Gerald quietly asked to be traded?

    If Blazers deal Wallace, the Blazers by next summer will have shed Roy (16.2 mil), Camby (11.2 mil), Wallace (9.5 mil) and Oden (??) >>>>

    $40m+ coming off the books.

    I would do it just to block the lakers from getting Howard.

    On a serious note it would suck this year. But I do see the logic for the big picture.

    The thing is though, there will be a shitload of teams with cap space next season. And we'd be overpaying someone to come here.

    I think the picks will go into a package to bring in another player.

    Wesley + Freeland + Felton + 2 first-round picks....

    Why would we trade an all-star forward, when we are short of forwards, for a guard, when we have a surplus of guards?

    That's how Pritchard thought. Look at all our useless picks of the last few years. Fuck picks. You go through many picks to find an all-star forward.

    I don't like it. We need frontcourt help, not backcourt help.

    Gerald Wallace was our best player, once we got him last year. This is our best player we're giving away.

    WojYahooNBA: Portland could extract as many as 3 draft picks for G. Wallace in possible multi-team Nets deal for Dwight Howard.”

    Portland could extract as many as 3 draft picks for Gerald Wallace in possible multi-team Nets deal for Dwight Howard, league sources say.

    but what quality are the picks? is it one first and two seconds? that isn't nearly as much fun as 3 lotto picks!
