How about Blount for Arroyo + Garrity?

WHat do you think?

Blount gives you another much needed big man, and he will fit well next to Dwight. Howard more than makes up for his lack of rebounding, and Blount is very good at sinking the mid-range jumper. He would get plenty of chances with teams upping on Dwight when he hits the paint. It gives my Wolves even more expirings. Word is that Jefferson and Blount don't get together so he needs to go.

DONE DEAL!!

i would pull the trigger on that deal in a heartbeat. Blount is a great role playing big man. He would actually be an upgrade from Darko (not in potential, but what he can do now). We don't need arroyo, although now that Diener is gone i think otis plans on using arroyo as the backup.

i WOULD do the deal.

This would be a great deal for Minnesota since Blount is owed $22m over the next 3 years and Garrity and Arroya both have expiring contracts.

i think both sides would be happy with this deal... but how deep is MIN with their bigs?

lets get otis and mchale on a conference call.

Minnesota would have Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Craig Smith, Juwan Howard, rookie Chris Richard, and even Mark Madsen as their bigs. I think they'd happily trade Blount if they can get expiring contracts in return.

Captain Obvious · 07-31-2007, 06:27 PM

Throw in the rights to Richard, since Minny has too many players now.

**X-Factor** · 07-31-2007, 08:48 PM

I think Blount is definite upgrade from whatever other garbage Otis is looking at.

deanwoof · 07-31-2007, 09:40 PM

blount is terrible. i'd rather play turk or shard out of position than have him.

hobojoe · 07-31-2007, 09:44 PM

I'd pass on this deal for now. I think Arroyo and Garrity's expiring deals will have more value at the deadline to a team looking to rid themselves of a contract to get under the cap, especially with the quality of the potential free agents this summer. Although, Blount would be pretty close to an ideal front court mate for Dwight at least in the short term, I wouldn't be too upset if this were to happen.

Do your research.

deanwoof · 08-01-2007, 06:31 PM

if he's that good of a player, then you can keep him and help rebuild your franchise as a cornerstone because you're going to need help. juwan howard can only do so much. trust us, we know.

KevinDurant · 08-01-2007, 08:24 PM

Good deal, Minnesota gets even more cap space next year and Orlando gets a big man.

o.iatlhawksfan · 08-01-2007, 08:28 PM

You guys are getting all worked up!

What are the chances it actually happens.

If any team gets Blount, it's the Hawks!

different_13 · 08-02-2007, 04:19 AM

Yeah, cos the Hawks have so many expiring contracts they wanna get rid of..
Oh, wait.
