Lopez: Blazers Are NBA's No. 1 Team That Needs To Make Trade

114
弗雷迪LopezofDIMEMag.com ranksthe Portland Trail Blazers as the No. 1 team that needs to make a trade. ------------------------------- Just a few weeks ago, Charles Barkley on "Inside the NBA" was talking about how "scary" this Portland Trail Blazers team is. Well, this same squad has only one victory and three L’s since the All-Star break, and only four wins out of their last 10 games. ... When a top-five point guard like [Rajon] Rondo is on the market, how can the Blazers not pounce on the opportunity to pair him up with L.A.? The ball is on the Blazers’ court to drastically change the fortunes of a franchise that’s struck out of luck for far too long. ------------------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter

Ford: Timberwolves Talking With Blazers; Pacers Eye Crawford?

176

A couple of NBA trade rumor notes from aChad FordchatatESPN.com, including buzz surrounding Portland Trail Blazers guard Jamal Crawford... --------------------------- David Kahn really wants this [Timberwolves] team to make the playoffs. Whether that's [Michael] Beasley, [Luke] Ridnour or even someone like Derrick Williams, I think they make a move ... [Jamal] Crawford can opt out of his deal this summer so he won't cost much. I think the Blazers and Wolves are talking about a swap for [Luke] Ridnour.On the Indiana PacersI don't think they are actively trying to shake up the team. [Chris] Kaman and [O.J.] Mayo, however, are both players they're interested in. Jamal Crawford as well. --------------------------- Of Suns guard Steve Nash, Ford writes that he will "likely" stay with Phoenix. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
