QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 28 2007, 08:22 PM)  I really dont get that trade, Curry is their center, and im assuming Randolph plays power forward. So where does lee play then? He certainly shouldnt have been clapping when he saw this deal. But for Portland its great because now they have Lamarcus and Oden downlow, and Francis and Roy at guard. Great trade for them and they already have a good bench I guess all they need is a small forward because Oduka isnt much. As talented as Francis is, it doesn't seem like he cares anymore. More importantly, I don't think he's the type of player Portland will want around it's players. I think he was only included in the trade to match salaries. I could see them just cutting him and eating his salary. QUOTE (Bullseye @ Jun 28 2007, 08:26 PM) Didn't they get Francis as well, so he would be starting at PG. Yeah, they did. But, I just don't think Portland would be smart to have his sorry attitude around their young, developing players. |

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 28 2007, 08:26 PM) I wonder if the Bulls will try moving up to get Jason Smith. I know they are very high on him and he could really give the Bulls some parts. throw duhon+2 2nd rounders to move back up |

They just wouldnt cut him, if anything try to trade him but I doubt that happens. |

QUOTE (Chicago Bulls Franchise @ Jun 28 2007, 08:30 PM) Damnit there goes the next D-Wade/Billups. Don't worry. In a few years when we play the Lakers, Kobe will be dominating him.  QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 28 2007, 08:29 PM) I think Francis could very well be their point guard with Roy at the 2 spot. They just wouldnt cut him, if anything try to trade him but I doubt that happens. I mean, yeah, he definitely could be. But, he doesn't fit the mold of what Portland has tried to do recently by getting rid of their law-breaking baggage. |

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 28 2007, 08:36 PM) Well there goes Smith. I was kinda hoping for Jason's idea (trading Duhon, picks to move up and get Smith)... Okay, now this I don't understand. Why didn't the Heat just draft Cook and 76ers Smith? |

Heat probably got some cash. God, I am so glad Mitch Kupchack isn't the GM of the Bulls. What a freaking idiot.

Im thinking the only reason they took Dudley is because Wallace is a free agent. They really could of used a guard though.

I still think Portland would want to move Francis. Than again Francis doesn't have the attitude problems Randolph has but I still figure they'd rather have other types of veterans around there young core.
Frye is a nice fit though. Spike Lee is a freaking MORON. So they are saying Wilson Chandler. |

Umm, you traded Channing Frye, Spike... Well we think they did. Either way Spike is a freaking moron. He'd be about the only one worse than Isaih when it came to running the show. Wow Stephen A is giving the Knicks credit. |

Well he must have some connections. I guess paying all that money for tix every year would do that for you.
