I think Portland should make a move for KG.

They could offer you guys Roy, Aldridge, and Randolph(I would care less about Randolph).

I still think losing KG would be terrible, but getting young talent like Roy and Aldridge would allow you guys to rebuild.

A lot of people propose bogus trades that are lopsided.

I want to see KG and Oden on the same team!!!

I think that you would have to offer a pick as well, but I might do that since Roy is a stud and I personally like Alrdidge quit abit, and Randolph is a decent 20-10 guy.

Theres no chance Portland trades Roy AND Aldridge, so therefore i dont think there would be enough talent coming back.
i think Portland should stick with youth anyway, no point ruhing things when you can build around Roy/Aldridge/Oden etc

Dude,

This is the worse one sided trade on the Internet. There is absolutely no way KP would even think about this trade. Trade away the core of POR for a 31-year-old guy who has 3 more years left (a stud without help in MIN banging every night with the big men for the past 10+ yrs. his body will break down you'll see), and never won anything to speak of.

KG's 'break down' is going to take a lot longer than most big men, he doesnt bang his body up on offense, takes jumpers, has never been involved in any bad incidents nor has he ever had a serious injury... not one in a 12 year career. he has 2-3 more Prime years left, let alone years in total.

i wont comment on the not winning anything comment cause thats ignorance.

i do agree this trade is never gonna go down from portlands side though.

give it up compsciguy78 - that's a fricking horrible trade.

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

I'd seriously be pissed if we traded Roy, Aldridge, and ZBo for KG. Nothing against KG, but we don't need him. Sure, it'd be cool to see Oden and KG dominate, but it's not going to happen. Give this up, I wouldn't even consider this if I was KP.

**Avalanche** · 05-25-2007, 11:35 PM

trade the number 7 pick (conley) for ZBo though?

socco · 05-26-2007, 12:40 PM

If Portland breaks up that Roy/Aldridge/Oden combo, somebody needs to be shot, seriously. That team has championship written all over it, just give it time. The biggest thing Portland needs to do imo is get Randolph out of there. If Conley is around at #7 it would make perfect sense for some sort of deal involving Conley for Randolph. Any two of Hudson, Jaric, James, and Hassell along with the pick would make it work financially. I'm not a big fan of Randolph (though he used to be my favorite player, it's a MSU thing), but that would be an option to consider.

Depends what's available at #7, but absolutely it's a possibility. I'd want to get Randolph and Outlaw though. Outlaw can develop into a Kirilenko/Gerald Wallace/Josh Smith type player and we'd need that since Randolph doesn't play defense.

I'm not sure. I don't think it makes good sense for Portland. Pairing up friends is a bad idea IMO. What if Conley isn't that good and falls to 3rd in the rotation? Then you got Oden complaining that his friend doesn't player enough. Besides, Jack/Rodriguez is a solid point guard combo for now and potentially a very good one in the future.

If Outlaw can play anywhere near what he was doing at the end of the season, he'd be a perfect fit. If he can just bring in like 13 and 7, he'd fill our void at the 3. He was tearing it up at the end of the season, it boosted his confidence a lot and I think this upcoming year could be his breakout year...At least I'm hoping it is. The thing is, I love having Outlaw and Udoka on the team, as well as my man Freddy. I'm just glad I'm not KP right now, I don't know what I'd do.

**Avalanche** · 05-26-2007, 02:07 PM

Zachs still very young isnt he? im not sure why portland has given up on him considering offense is the one part of odens game he appears to be behind in, you could do a lot worse than pairing him with a 20+ points post scorer.
but it definately sounds like Zach is gone, i would assume conley will be on the board at 7 and i think if we can make that deal with portland we should take it... we dont need a textbook center, nearly all teams dont have one, a frontline of KG/Zbo would be very cool IMO.

He's had some off the court problems, and the Blazers are trying to clean up their image. I don't think he's a good influence on the younger players.

I'm not even that high on Conley as a player. I was just working under the assumption that Portland would be interested in him.
