    ridhour for crawford very talked about
    utah interested in harris for felton trade
    eric gorden and kayman both say they wont resign with NO-trade also creates and additional 2 mil cap room for david stern and the NBA

    these trades will get us somewhere in years to come, if we can resign kayman and batum, we have solid lineup---harris mathews (gorden if we can resign him as well) batum LA kayman------ think we can build on that

    bench of ridhour, (mathews if we resign gorden) williams, a pick (dropping low enough we can have an OK pick in a sf and center strong draft, rhino and priz

    Kaman is a good center but not worth near what he will cost as a FA. I like Gordon but you would not be able to sign Batum Kaman and Gordon. Your line up would likely run around 55 mil with the cap set at around 59 next year we would be well over with matthews, and williams putting us around 63. Then your looking at around 5 mil more to fill in the roster. 

    I just do not see that being feasible. 

    As good as gordon is his knees are a big concern and that is the last thing we need.

    we could let gorden go, the point of the trade is kayman, we could offer him the most (it wont come down to that) and is a good player to go side by side with LA, we fix our pg problems, and we have mathews and williams and batum, we will have a decent pick, and we wont have to rebuild from scratch, wed have right pieces in kayman LA and batum

    the alternitive is letting gerald, felton, camby, crawford all go to free agency, not a bad plan because there are many pg's that are free agents (depending what we want- kidd brooks (who i would love to see here) nash williams etc etc) and centers (lopez, howard, kayman) try to get them then, and play the draft

    Yes. Batum is definitely overrated by Blazer fans because we love him, and he is overpaid right now, but he will play better next year.

    But I feel like worse teams than us would offer that so you never know he might want to come back where it all started... then again he could hate us with a passion and want to go absolutely anywhere else
