This trade had better not be real. Hinrich does not impress me at all.

Only way I see this happening is if somehow Pritchard had a second deal lined up for a small forward. Otherwise, not liking this one a whole lot.

Good I don't see him fiting in vary well at SF and I don't see him getting much time at PF either. I like Outlaw but it might be best for him to move to another team. Although if thats the case you might as well kiss the idea of Bayless starting at PG goodbuy.

There will not be any trades by the Blazers before camp opens.

All I have to say is that I have full faith in KP. If he feels that we need a PG now, then that thought is probably correct.

A Steve Blake and Outlaw package works for Kirk. I'd rather keep Joel since Frye and Ike are a little undersized to play backup C for a team that expects to make the playoffs in the West.

This trade would be pointless for the Bulls. It would be completely unsatisfactory for the Bulls if they didn't demand Rudy Fernandez back in this trade. Maybe you could slide this through if Hinrich is the center piece, but Fernandez is a must, coming back in this type of trade if Gordon is the center piece.

The one thing is that it seems like the Bulls are deadset getting a legit center.

Bulls have no need for Travis Outlaw, who at best, would be 3rd on the depth chart.

Isen't Darek Rose the Bulls center piece?

If we give away Joel, I think KP is getting burned out and needs to take a rest. Like until All star break. -.-

If the Bulls do trade Gordon rather than Hinrich, what would you guys think of Gordon, Nocioni, Simmons for Outlaw and Przybilla? If Gordon is in the trade, another one of Chicago's big contracts have to be involved(Hughes,Gooden,Nocioni,Hinrich) due to the BYC.

BG7

Any Ben Gordon sign and trade basically has to involve Andres Nocioni, which would bring up the question, "Why the hell is John Paxson trading Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni in the same trade and getting crap in return".

P to the Wee

He's talking about the centerpiece of the trade. If it was the centerpiece of the Bulls, it would probably be Ben Gordon

BG7

Speaking about the center piece of the trade.

I'm not saying that this rumor and the Outlaw for Conley/Lowry/Crittenton rumor before it are totally bogus but they all leave me scratching my head; I can envision almost no scenario wherein the blazers take the floor with Nicolas Batum as their primary backup 3, not unless channing has been adding explosive hops to his game in addition to a newfound 3-ball.

Przy/Outlaw for Hinrich also seriously depletes depth in the frontcourt while crowding an already overstuffed backcourt.

Blech.
