You know, i agree... but.. This is a forum. Stupid trades and dumb comments are just a part of it. If you don't like the Blazer fans, then why come onto their part of the forum?

Ok bud, an excuse is different than a fact. It is a fact that if Portland was in the east, at 41-41 they would be in the playoffs.

I understand what you are saying.

But from my point of view, this is what I think.

Getting rid of Outlaw, who with Rudy both coming off the bench would just be amazing... for a 27 year old PG, that is a below-average - average defender, at the price that we will have to give up to get him (more than Outlaw and Jack) just isn't worth it.

That is what I think. He won't be able to stick with Paul and Williams in the playoffs.

I see it both ways, but that is my thought on the matter. I hope we don't make big trades at all.

Jesus. Wont be able to stick with Paul or Williams in the playoffs? As compared to all the other guys you're able to pick up who could? Paul and Williams are in a league of their own when it comes to young PG's.

And saying if Portland was in the east such and such would happen is not fact. They arent in the east, they're in the west, thats the fact.

You're right. Toronto's 41/41 is better than the Blazer's 41/41. Isn't there a hockey game you should be watching?

R-Star

Hillarious. Glad to see "Arent you watch hockey, eh?" is your response. I can see Im battling with a top notch, very intelligent poster.

I am so glad that folks here want to judge the Yes or No decision on a trade based upon the results from a single game. That is always the bright thing to do....

Jose would thrive in Portland. He has a knack for finding open shooters and we have shooters: Roy can shoot, Outlaw/Webster/Jones can shoot, LaMarcus/Frye can shoot, Oden can even shoot. Creating, Calderon is the most efficient PG in the NBA.

The downside to Jose is his defense. PG's constantly blow by him at will. I fear what a Chris Paul or Deron Williams would do to him in the playoffs.

Sorry Hasoos for not being as bright as you, but I don't really think anyone was doing that. Personally I was just joking about throwing in an extra draft pick based on their awesome performance that happened to coincide with the posts on the very subject. I thought the timing was funnny. Apparently it wasn't that funny to you and your bright little buddy.

Aaaargh!

You are correct. the numbers for Blake should be 408/406/766.

jose averaged 8.3 assists/game. assist to turnover ratio 5.4:1. crazy.

Looka the minutes Jose plays, he plays backup and splits minutes with TJ Ford.

i would trade jack but not outlaw. outlaw is too important to our bench and our energy and hes too much of a crowd favorite.

I think when you look at the talent on the Blazers you need to look at what you're trading and what you're getting. I'm not sure I'd trade Outlaw, I think that if Portland doesn't get Calderson there are other PG's out there, he would be nice to add with Rudy coming on board next season. I think that if you moved Jack and Webster for him that wouldn't be that hard to swallow for me. Jack is nothing more than a back up combo guard and Webster has had some nice games, but is he really your starting small forward in 2009?

Calderon would be a very interesting player in Portland, not sure if Toronto would give him up for that, but I don't think I'd pay more than that for him.
