True.

CHA CHING! WHOO whata deal przybilla hasn't been the same after injury and we trade him + 2nd round pick for a boderline allstar :DD

wow...whatta steal.. wish lakers would have done that deal

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Another great move by MJ. :oldlol:

Blazers get:

i dont understand how portland can play on without a backup for LMA and virtually no centers now. is Sean Marks still with the team? :facepalm

It's a good deal for Portland, but it creates a lot of front court depth issues.

You have Camby at C, can you count Sean Marks as a back-up? Maybe they'll slide Aldridge to C, have Camby be a back-up, have Wallace at PF.

I think it was a really good deal, even if it does create a bit of depth issue in the front court. I don't understand why the Charlotte FO/MJ do this, I guess they're too concerned about saving money like they seem to be doing all the time.

Camby should be back very soon, but yeah. They're used to this by now, at least.

MJ:facepalm :facepalm


King of giving away players and drafting shit...:oldlol:

Blazers are looking at signing Troy Murphy.

PG: Miller/Rudy
SG: Wes/Roy
SF: Wallace/Batum
PF: Aldridge/Batum or Wallace
C: Camby/Murphy

nice

Whats up with the forum it's lagging and it's weird as hell
Some technical issues ?

Great trade for Blazers though

So are the Bobcats just dedicated to getting worse and worse or what?

Augustin - Livingston - Collins
Henderson - Carroll - Peterson
Jackson - McGuire - Brown
Diaw - Najera - Cunningham - White
Brown - Pryzbilla - Diop



Woooo. Awesome team.

Cunningham is actually one of the best backups you will have.

Very productive player while on the court here in Portland. One of the guys I always felt confident in when he is in the game.

Nice.. I hope Camby is healthy, now we need big men more then ever. But Wallace will bring defence and rebounding and some miss matches maybe even a few points.

That may be the worst team in the league right now :eek:

The deal was made because they received two first round picks by the Blazers.

That Charlotte team is awful, MJ has done a bad job organizing a good team, and him and company seem more worried about the luxury tax than they do committing to staying in the playoffs.

- Augustin isn't that good. Livingston's outplayed him lately.
- Gerald Henderson is probably the starting SG now, he really hasn't shown a lot, I will say that he is actually proving something and earning minutes.
- Stephen Jackson is the best player on the team, but having him as your best player is not going to get you success.
- Diaw isn't really a good low post PF, isn't too bad, but not what he used to be in Phoenix.
- Przybilla doesn't give you anything on the offensive end, defense is good, good rebounder I suppose.
- Cunningham might not be too bad off the bench actually.

In essence, this Charlotte team might be the worst team in the league on the offensive end now, they don't have any good offensive pieces outside of Captain Jack. I guess it gives you a couple 1st round picks, but Gerald Wallace is worth more than that.

Portland: The Ultimate Small Ball Team :applause:

This is seriously the best thing to happen to the Blazers in a long time. I LOVE Gerald Wallace on this team. Imagine if they resign a healthy Oden (that's a HUGE unlikely scenario). Wallace/Aldridge/Oden would compete with LA for the best front court rotation in the west.

Blazers need someone big badly.

MJ needs to be fired for real.

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

no 1st round included? No Batum included? No Roy and his contract included :wtf:

Two 1st round picks are included in the deal.

Sounds like MJ is looking to rebuild for the future with more draft picks, and saving cap money. Will be interesting to see if it actually comes into fruition.

So basically, MJ just bought a team to say he owns an NBA team. :facepalm

And to think, Charlotte was the city with LJJ, Zo and MUGSY BOGUES. Now...:facepalm

I mean, I LOLed for real when I saw that Kwame Brown was on the Bobcats now. Does MJ not see the constant reminder about how awful he is at running an NBA franchise?!

Edit: The two first round picks makes it a bit more palatable, but still...Wallace was their second best player, borderline best. Portland picks aren't likely to be very high either.

oh I never knew there was a 1st pick included

Why did MJ just trade away his best player? :facepalm

MJ is getting on my nerves very fast! He have destroyed one of my favourite teams with this move. WTF is he doing?

I actually like this trade for Charlotte. Admit that they aren't going anywhere and get something in return for Wallace. Also a great trade for Wallace, gives portland a real chance at the conference finals.

It's not too bad for Charlotte. They'll be able to rebuild, which it seems like they're trying to do. A decent SF who plays defence and can hit the jumper in Cunningham and two first round picks. It'll save them some money as well.

I'm surprised to see that more teams weren't going after Crash if this is all Jordan wanted. At least he got some draft picks out of it :lol

Wallace is one of my fav players and I hated to see him go. In fact I am surprised Jordan did this....
But business minded :
He gets Prez for a couple years to man the paint with Kwame , and he gets two draft picks that is HUGE for a young franchise new owner.

Once Wallaces contract expires , I would not doubt he resigns with the Bobcats... He knows it was a business move , and we have to remember Wallace was given a chance by this team to prove himself.
I would not doubt he returns.

Anyone that doesnt understand this trade for the Bobcats doesnt understand how a team like the Bobcats need to rebuild. You are exactly right.

Congratulations to Portland, that's a steal.

Yep those two lottery draft picks are really going to help the Bobcats' future!

Oh wait. The Blazers aren't in the lottery are they?

Not much of a source but on facebook someone said that Joel Przybilla will be bought out and return to Portland.
