Ok all this trade talk is ridiculaus, I mean first making 1 trade is difficult, no less trying to trade the whole team!!!NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Second do you guys really want a 20 win season, this isnt a 4 month season(think about it) its long like October till April having the bLazers as on e of the worst teams in the west or nba....do you really want to sit through that or at least be competive.....keep the playoff streak alive, dont just give that up cause youre a fair weather fan and my last point is this I do believe we need tweaking like getting a great PG but we cant trade the whole team and totally blow it up so stop with the billion trade ideas cause 9-10 wont happen...I gurantee it!!!

SO WisE UP AND THINK ABOUT BEING THE NEXT DENVER WITH YOUR STUPID IDEAS BECAUSE IF WE DO SUCK NEXT YEAR....YOU ALL WILL BE BACK SAYING OUR GM RUINED THE FRANCHISE AND NONE OF YOU WILL SIT THROUGH A HORRIBLE SEASON......SO GROW UP AND BE REALISTIC.....WE MAKE 2 TRADES IF YOUR LUCKY AND THATS PuSHING IT!!!

What's the fun of offseason if we can't talk trades. Then we all say "Portland uhhhh....Wait till fall you'll see". Come on, trade talk is entertaining and great for debate.

If you don't want to see MASSIVE QUANTITIES of trade talk, then you would be better off if you didn't log on until say...... October 31st.

**Schilly** · 05-06-2003, 11:27 AM

Actually Masbee...When's the trade deadline next season?

antibody · 05-06-2003, 11:30 AM

Portland and free agency/trades have been synonymous for the last several years...where have you been mixum?

Complaining about trade talk on a Blazer board is like living in Portland and complaining about the rain.

**SheedSoNasty** · 05-06-2003, 12:42 PM

Yeah I agree with you mixum... HOWEVER, I just had this awsome trade idea.

Portland Trades:

Stoudamire
Wells
Pippen
Wallace
Davis
Sabonis
Randolph
Anderson
McInnis
Daniels
Woods

Sacramento Trades

Bibby
Christie
Stojakovic
Webber
Divac
B. Jackson
Turkoglu
Pollard
J. Jackson
Funderburk
Clark

I'm pretty sure it works under the cap. Portland gets the dominant power forward they've been looking for and the floor general they so needed and Sacramento gets the Blazers. It's win win baby! Honestly now... If you don't like offseason speculation then you don't like Blazer basketball. Go cry elsewhere.

i especially love the "lets trade Rasheed for Kevin Garnett" trade threads that get posted.

or "lets trade Stoudamire for Jason Kidd" ones. WOohOo

BealzeeBob · 05-06-2003, 01:19 PM

...don't look past the fact that, before the start of last season, there were many in here who said NO WAY would they trade Wallace and Wells for KG. I wonder if they still feel that way? I would have done it then, I'd do it now, and I'd do it tomorrow.

Go Blazers

Isn't mixum just saying that trade talk that essentially promotes trading all of the "core" players (Wallace, Wells, Anderson, Davis, etc.) is ridiculous? I got nothing out of his post that trade talk should not be happening. He just doesn't want the Blazers to be so devoid of talent that they only win 20 games next year.

From what I understood, SCBF, he was talking about all trade speculation.

Sounds like he wouldn't mind a deal or two, but no more than that. When he said "all this trade talk", I read that to mean "all this talk about trading away most of the team".

**SheedSoNasty** · 05-06-2003, 02:06 PM

Gotcha

blazerbraindamage · 05-06-2003, 02:31 PM

Keeping the same team (TEAM TURMOIL) intact is even more ridiculous than "trying to trade the whole team away" as far as I'm concerned.

1st of all Damon has to go....sure he played a nice series (amazingly) and everyone will be mezmerized by his 5-10 games where he did his job and played semi-well this year and some will point to those games and clamor for the Blazers to keep him.But most of us had our fill of him like 3 or 4 years ago!

2nd of all Sheed and Bonzi disappear when the pressure is on and are bad characters on and especially off the court.The team has to clean up it's image.You can go ahead and add Patterson to this list too.

Zach and Woods are the future so we should atleast "try" to straighten them out before they become permanently contaminated/corrupted by the bad influences on the team!

DA ...I knew he wouldn't be there for us (at the start of the season I even said as much).He just breaks too easily!

Mcinnis and AD are fine bench help but it looks somewhat doubtful that AD will be back?

Pippen said he wants to return.This could be a good thing if things go right in the offseason.

We really could have used DD in game 7 but we should start to think about centers for the future cause DD isn't exactly a spring chicken nor is he fleet-footed.(I'd like a more active frontline) Maybe he stays,who knows? If we somehow ended up with a frontline featuring Jermaine and Zach than DD might be okay.

Bring Sabonis back!

We needed another center in game 7,apparently Boumtje x 2 wasn't ready to contribute due to not playing all year?

bfan1 · 05-06-2003, 03:02 PM

From AP: Anne M. Peterson

"..."I've been in the league 16 years and I've never seen the same 12 guys come back," Pippen said...."

so...as much as we hate it...trade talk is all we are gonna hear....just be glad none of us will be making the decisions!
