they lack a low post presence, something CLE already has... i'm not saying DEN will be beating down our door to trade for Zach but if u ask me it makes more sense than CLE wanting Zach... DEN has Camby who would be a perfect complement to Zach's game, & they have the scorers on the perimeter along w/the role players off the bench.

if CLE would want anything from us it would be someone like Jamal to give them another guy who can create his own shot on the perimeter & keep teams honest from doubling down on Lebron on the perimeter.

anyway i don't wanna keep repeating the same things i've been saying to reason why i don't think CLE is a realistic option... we're gonna have to agree to disagree on that one.

I never had him going to Cleveland so I agree. I did have a 3 and 4 way where he went to Philly that involved Clev and Ind and we got back Wally or Jermaine.

I say you trade the 6th pick to Sacramento and Zach for Brad Miller and the 12th pick and take westbrook or augustin. It gives you a shorter contract, a good player at 12 and another white guy

You know that actually not a terrible deal.

Thats a terrible trade. I don't understand why you would want to trade down especially for another player that woouldn't fit with Curry. Give me the 6th pick anyday over Brad Miller or the 12th pick and contrary to what you guys think Zack is twice the player Miller is.

I was assuming that Curry would be traded as well.

If Zach was so great how did Portland become better without him and no one wants him in a trade? I am looking for shorter contracts

i've laid out my reasons why i would make that deal countless times... it's a matter of KMart being a much better fit for both the system we're likely to run next season as well as to address team balance issues... it's as simple as that... the contracts are a wash & as long as Zach is here he drags the entire team down w/his selfish style of stat accumulating play... i want him outta here ASAP... i know you hate the idea of getting rid of your boy, but to me it makes sense to unload Zach if the opportunity presents itself even if we're not necessarily getting back equal value in terms of talent.

This does not compute. KMart hasn't been healthy since he left NJ so what sense does it make to have him on the team when he spends most the season wearing a suit. You might as well trade Zach for a month supply of popcorn because at least its cheap and won't take up a roster spot.

This is one of those moments where I am happy that fans are fans and not in a front office.
