& lol at dude asking for a pick too.....

Tell me what is so bad about asking for a pick? Roy may not get much better than he already is, Alrdidge wont be GREAT and Randolph has attitude problems, and doesnt play defense. KG is a top 5 player in the NBA and the Blazers aren't going to trade away two of their young guys and their best lowpost scorer when they are going to get Oden anyways, but I think that Roy,Aldridge,Randolph and a pick is what it would take to get KG.

Point is moot, Portland doesnt offer these guys it makes no sense at all... they are building for a championship a few years down the road anyway with these players, Garnett needs a team contending now, or veterans here.

I'm not sure about that. There was the game where he got benched and went back to the locker room, with teammates and coaches trying to keep him out there. That was the OT game against Detroit, where KG got ejected. I get the sense that there is some behind the scenes issues with Ricky that they've been trying to keep quiet. Maybe it was just his relationship with Casey, or maybe it was more than that, don't know. It's hard for us to judge because all we can do is watch the games and read stuff, we don't really know what's happening in practice and in the locker room. I think there's still a risk with keeping Ricky around.

I (begrudgingly) agree on Randolph though. He's too talented for a team in our desperate situation to pass up, if the price is right of course.

true, im not saying hes been perfect because theres always something to the stories whether they have ben blown out of proportion or not.
I remember that incident (now that you mention it lol), however outside of that i havnt heard of any 'big' problems with ricky, and especially nothing that has been news worthy.
i still want to trade him, not because of any issues he has but simply because he should have high value around the league, hes a reasonably cheap contract, puts up impressive stats and is an expiring deal... combine him with a number 7 pick and i think its the start of a very solid deal for a star.

oh and totally agree on Zach, we are a team in need of taking a risk or 2.... a 23/9 post guy is a pretty good risk to take a chance on IMO.
