Re: Woj Spills Deal.......... Presti. He's helping out Portland in his spare time...he's quite a wunderkind.
Re: Woj Spills Deal.......... Roy entered the NBA draft straight out of high school but decided to withdraw. He wasn't a late bloomer. He was 21 when we acquired him, but he had four years of college experience under his belt. Ed O.
Re: Woj Spills Deal.......... HOLY SHIT!!!!! A DOZEN!!!!!!! Is there anyway we can call off this trade?
WAIT just one gol' derned second. This is a 1-for-2 deal. I thought we were supposed to be consolidating talent, not diversifying. Don't we already have too many players? How are we going to find minutes for all these players? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! [/]
I was just going off of what i recalled from draftexpress, but I just reread it and it said "Despite his lack of tremendous athleticism" so that does not mean that he is unathletic, just that he is not a freak athlete.
Are we better now in 2010-11 than if we don't make this trade? Of course, not. I Babbit's and Gomes' dreams, they can't give us anywhere near the production that Webster would have given us in 2010-11. So, this is clearly for the future. Batum was getting his minutes no matter what (unless he gets injured). Martell was going to sit anyway (15 minutes max per game, with many games that he doesn't get in). Webster's stock would go down from this point forward, so now was the time to trade him. What they did was max out Martell's value by making this trade. Babbit should become a good player in the NBA because he can shoot, rebound, and he has size and strength. But, he looks very uneducated, which will keep him on the bench under Nate McMillan. You can't get on the floor, if you don't know where you're supposed to be (unless you're oozing talent like Travis Outlaw).
