So yes, I'd say Hassell and Kandi for Ratliff and 1st rounder, I hope that doesn't sound too greedy, since, well, Ratliff is playing behind Joel Pryzbilla.
C - Theo Ratliff - Mark Madsen
PF - Kevin Garnett - Eddie Griffin - Nikoloz Tskitishvili
SF - Wally Szczerbiak - Ndudi Ebi
SG - Damien Wilkins - Rashad McCants
PG - Marko Jaric - Troy Hudson
If we can acquire Reggie Evans or Earl Watson in sign and trades I would be more than happy to welcome them to the squad as well.

I highly doubt Portland wouldn't do that deal. We have two first rounders for next year, Detroit's and ours, I doubt we trade either, especially when we get Hassell, who we did go after, who has a long term contract. Kandi would be someone we would get back in a trade, but it'd be more like Ruben/Ratliff for Kandi and a salary filler.
Nash has said over and over again that if we make a trade, we will be getting young players or picks back, so unless we are getting a pick/young player back, I doubt it happens. Oh, Nash also said that he won't be getting long term contracts back either, or something like Hassell's type of contract. I believe its like 4.5 mill per, for 3-4 more years, am I correct?
