What's the best you would trade for Oden?
« on: June 21, 2010, 11:52:24 AM »
This came up on a Spurs board which was proposing Blair and Splitter (or picks if Splitter signs elsewhere).
Most said no way no how with the addition of Splitter but they would consider Blair for Oden straight up.

Begets the question, what would be the best the Blazers could get for Oden?
His upside remains, still could be a 20/10 guy in a centerless NBA.  Downside obviously his injuries past and future.

What's the best you would give Portland for Oden?

*Assume it's not collusion thus no Kwame for Gasol type crap.

I don't think you can expect the 20/10 because of the 20.  I'd call Oden a 15/12 guy.

Good topic, but I'll have to think.  I don't think Utah could offer enough to get Portland to trade him (and I think it would be crazy if Portland did).  Philadelphia could have made an interesting offer pre-Dalembert.

Let me try Dallas.

Dampier (final year of contract), Shawn Marion (actually Caron Butler in the final deal, but I offer Marion as the opener), Barea, and a future second rounder for Oden and Webster.

That gives Portland:

Butler
Aldridge
Dampier/Przybilla
Miller/Barea
Roy

and Dallas

Webster/Marion
Nowitzki
Oden/Haywood
Kidd
Terry

Takers on either side?

is now a restricted FA.

What and who will you offer, or will you decline Oden altogether?
