blazers ponder their next move..

ok, as the trade deadline approaches, i'm just curious to how everyone is feeling about where the blazers are at right now? do you think we should make a trade? should we move jamaal? should we move zach? someone else?

or do we wait until the summer, let jamaal's contract fade away and see if there are any upgrades available on the free agent market?

i can understand that people like where we are at, and justfiably so, but there seems to be an awful lot of high caliber talent available across the league at the moment. we are good and getting better, but that doesn't mean we are complete. so what do you think the blazers should do?

so, if i'm kevin pritchard, this is the way that i see things.. if the blazers can get someone that is productive for magloire (for instance, morris petersen) than we should, if not then we get cap flexibility for the future, seems like a win-win situation.

as far as zach, well i've stated my opinions clearly in my other posts, but i think the time is now to move him. if we could get someone like pau gasol for zach i'd pull the trigger on that baby in a heartbeat. i wouldn't move him to just move him, not by any stretch of the imagination, but what if you could combine zach and our first round pick for a superstar? you would have to consider it; the blazers just have alot of assets at the moment and one more important, young piece could ensure championships in years to come.

i read with interest on espn the juan dixon for fred jones rumour. that would work for me, i really like juany, but the hometown-vibe of a classy kid like fred jones would give us another, ime udoka-type uplifting of spirit. and he's athletic and a great defender, why not?

I like the idea of trading Zach if we can get good value for him. I also think that between Magliore, Aldridge, and Joel P, the 4 and 5 spots would be covered (if no one gets injured), so we wouldn't necessarily have to trade for a 4 to take Zach's place.

I like Dixon quite a bit but I like Fred Jones even more, and the Barlow High connection figures in there. It's hard because I don't think either Dixon or Jones has reached his potential in the league yet.

We also have to caution against too much trade activity too soon - even if we stand pat with this group, they will improve. - S.
