I feel pretty ambivalent about the idea, like we are a few years too late. Thoughts?

Dwight JaynesofCSNNW.com writeson recent trade talk involving the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves. ---------------------------- I do believe there is something to all the talk of Portland sending Jamal Crawford to Minnesota for Luke Ridnour. There's no getting around the fact that Nate McMillan seems to prefer using Wesley Matthews as the backup shooting guard over Crawford. If that's the case, with Nic Batum now firmly ensconced in his rightful position as the starting shooting guard, Crawford isn't going to get the minutes he deserves. If that's the case, move him and move him as soon as possible. I'm not sure what they were thinking of by bringing him here in the first place. I also been told by league sources that the Ridnour trade is a backup plan for the Blazers, who are still hard after another point guard. That could be [Steve] Nash, Rajon Rondo or Jose Calderon. ---------------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter

亚历克斯·肯尼迪ofHoopsWorld.com reports on Twitter…------------------------- 明尼苏达州的木材wolves are making a strong push to acquire Jamal Crawford prior to the trade deadline, according to multiple sources. -------------------------ed: bumped to front page

Steals plus blocks plus 3-pointers per game for Portland's Nicolas Batum in February. Taking advantage of increased minutes, Batum has averaged 17.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.6 blocks and 2.5 3-pointers in 12 February games. There simply aren't many players in the league who can offer this type of multicategorical goodness. In fact, Batum and Kevin Durant are the only two players who are averaging 1/1/1 in steals, blocks and 3s on the season.

Steve KylerofHoopsWorld.com writesthe following about the Portland Trail Blazers. ----------------------- Raymond Felton has fallen out of favor with just about everyone in Portland. He has been shopped around a little. He’d love to be traded, and the Lakers have expressed some level of interest. Raymond may not be the perfect answer for the Lakers’ woes, but if Portland decides to dump and the Lakers cannot find a better deal there could be a match. ... Gerald Wallace has a $9.5 million player option next year and sources say his camp has made it clear that if healthy he’ll opt for Free Agency if only to secure longer term money. That’s means Portland has to decide whether to trade him now or risk losing him to the open market. ... Sources close to Crawford say he has not asked for a trade, but wouldn’t be opposed to a deal either, especially if it landed him in a less chaotic situation. ... Portland has six games remaining before the trade deadline, if the downward trend continues, look for a fire sale in Portland. ----------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter

We should bring him back as a shooting coach until he can sign with the team!
