KB20 is saying ESPN Radio has reported a deal thats been agreed to in principle by both teams.

Darius Miles + Steve Blake + #30

Chris Mihm + Aaron McKie + Brian Cook + Future 2nd Rounder

that should serve as proof that portland has concluded that dmiles is unworkable for them.

think this is similar to what we could expect back for marbury?

That's a really good trade for LA. Blake is a lot better than most think (no.3 in the NBA in assist to turnover).

WORST trade EVER for Portland. They lose the best players and the best pick.

It's a trade where the team that gets the more talented players probably won't benefit much (kind of like most of the Knicks' trades). Miles is not the kind of player that helps teams win games and that was before his knee problems.

Hmmm... Kobe at SG, Miles at SF, Odom at PF? They are lacking at the PF spot. I think we could have put toghether a btter deal for Miles and also got Ratliffe off their hands.

why are they lacking at PF? odom is nasty.

that's a good trade for LA. cook is good in the triangle but to get back miles (who they'll probably just stick on the other team's best scorer and make him into a defender, give kobe a breather once in a while), blake (who is a good PG for the triangle, good shooter, doesn't turn it over), and the 30th pick, giving them two at the end of the first round (and this is a draft people say is deep enough that the talent at 10 and the talent at 35 is roughly the same) should work wonders for LA.

they continue to get younger and more talented.

that's a hella trade for L.A. bye mihm, they still got 2 centers. (young ones) not only that, but if they want they can easily move up in the draft. looks like they putting together a team out there in LALA.

They are definately serious about building around what they did last season. With miles now and odom preminantly at the 4 they are gonna run and gun with the best of them. Blake is a nice alternative to smush. Its just a good move for them.

Portland looks like they are ready to ship off zach too. Taylor is the prime candidate.

Just from anoter perspective here....what if it was:

Odom at PG, Kobe at SG, Miles at SF, Kwame at PF, Mihm or Bynum at C?
