Portland / Atlanta Trade Idea

[blazerjimmy]

LaFrentz (expiring contract)
Frye (potential as backup Center for them - expiring contract)
Webster.....if he doesn't work out, he's in the last year of his contract
Jack (a local boy)

for

Joe Johnson (only has two years left on his contract if he doesn't work out - is capable of playing PG in a limited capacity, SG and SF) - I've been a fan of his game for awhile now - would love to see him, Brandon and Travis bringing the ball down on an outlet.....................

Course, I don't know if Atlanta would be interested in this.......however, they don't have a SINGLE draft pick, so maybe one of our earlier second round picks (either the one from Memphis or the one from New York)......or maybe even the #13 pick??????

Whoops forgot - Speedy Claxton didn't play last year - I'm assuming due to injury - we could just buy him out like we did Steve Francis.

IMO. Thats giving up to much for Joe Johnson. Johnson is basically Brandon Roy with less leadership skills and less playmaking ability but a LITTLE bit better three point stroke.

I see no real need for him. Bring in a real good defender to start at small forward like Josh Howard or Ron Artest.

BlazersDozen - I might be interested in Josh Howard - was really big on him before the admitted use of weed.....I have a very critical outlook on illegal drugs......but I have NO interest whatsoever in Ron "Tru Warier" Artest - you never know what you're going to get from him or when he's going to act up.

ALSO - what the heck is that exclamation mark on your profile mean???

Are you referring to the thing in the red-outlined triangle? If so, thats how you report people for being inappropriate. You should see one in everybody's profile except for your own (because it wouldn't make sense to report yourself). If thats not what you are referring to, I'm not seeing what you are seeing.

I assumed he just meant the info to the left of your posts (you know, everything by your avatar). Thats why I was talking about the "Report Bad Post" button.

[BlazersDozen]

Oh, well I made a profile after he said that. LOL

[Myth]

lol.

Edit: Looks like you went really in depth too, lol. I never made a profile, but just yesterday I finally added an avatar pic after being here nearly a year.

Mine used to be Brandon Roy looking gangsta in his Huskies uni but now I can't find it. All the other pics are to big.

Pics are pretty easy to re-size. I used microsoft paint, which nearly every PC should have.

I'm to lazy for all that lol.

I would assume we could have Johnson play SF at some times, and other times have Roy at PG with Johnson at his usual SG. Though, I wouldn't agree to the trade because we would be in a situation where people are always playing out of position. Not worth giving up several all those guys for that.

if we were to give up that much, i'd much rather get josh smith.
