Trade Talk and Outlaw

I love the trade deadline. I love that Von Wafer is a Blazer, we don't need another freaking point guard on our team, or on our D-League team. And the great thing about Wafer is that he will score 30 a game in the summer leagues for the next 5 years.

I watched a little of the Suns blowout loss to the Pistons today and felt bad for the Suns fans. Hopefully they know that they couldn't win the big one with Marion, after three straight Conf. Finals trips you kinda gotta concede that, but like you Ty, I really have a hard time seeing how the Big Brick is going to help them win it either. Who knows, stranger things have happened. Eli Manning won a Superbowl.

The trade I think is getting overlooked though, or at least the part of a trade that I think is getting overlooked is Joe Smith in the Cleveland trade. He is the best part of that trade in my eyes. He can shoot from the wing, defend, and rebound. Remember the game a few months back when Joe Smith went off on the Blazers? He can play, moreso than Gooden ever will be able to, even if he lets his beard reach his waist, and other than Wally's good looks and outside shooting, I think Joe Smith will prove to be the difference maker in making them a force again in the East.

On a side note, I'm with you Ty, why not start Outlaw? He's incredible. I'm a big fan. 6th man of the year considerations? The next Uncle Cliffy, but with the added bonus of not missing every clutch shot?! I'm in.
