If Portland is really an option, do you think them trading for Jerryd Bayless from Indiana could play a role in a Lee trade?
They can't trade Blake, Bayless and Jack....
Well if we were getting Bayless, I wouldn't expect them to trade us Blake as well. I just don't see how Bayless fits with that team. They need a pure PG to play with the scorers on that team and Bayless isn't the most pure PG in this draft.
Bayless + Martell Webster for Malik and Lee.
Bayless is a perfect pick for them. They need shooting to stretch the defense. They don't need a pure playmaker as much because they have a post offense with Brandon Roy who can initiate offense himself and create his own shot. Bayless is a perfect perfect fit for them.
The reason they'll look to move Blake to us is that they have Bayless and Sergio. The question is, do they have anything along with Blake that we want? They just got Dorsey and Darrell Arthur. Lee for Arthur and Blake is starting to become a fair trade.
If we're moving Lee, I'd prefer to call Memphis and investigate Lowry and Warrick for Lee. I don't know though, there may be some truth to Lee telling Memphis he doesn't want to play there.
edit: I'd pursue Sergio and Darrell Arthur. But does Portland even want Lee with Arthur in the fold?
