Oden to New Orleans idea

[grizzulie]

Portland can't wait Oden to be healthy to win, they just have to win NOW! And New Orleans seeks to download heavy contracts, so:

Oden + Przybilla for Okafor + D.Andersen

New Orleans can replace Emeka starting spot with Joel and Portland gets a healthy postpresence and gives New Orleand "the decision" on Oden...

It's a risky trade for Portland but it's a reelief for Oden's disaster.

Risky trade for portland how bout for NO?

Not a bad idea. Sure they don't have Oden this year and Emeka is playing as good one-on-one defense as you can ask of a 6'10 center and his weak side defense and rebounding (on both ends) has been phenomenal but Pryz isn't bad and those two could really shore up a weak front court along side of West in the future if re-signed.

Not a bad idea, I like it. Huge gamble for the Hornets and huge contract for the Blazers

Trade machine says Andersen cannot be traded in combination with other player.
I replaced Andersen with Smith.

Yea i really do not see how this is a risky trade for Portland.
Worst case they get a healthy 15-10-2 PF/C in exchange for a guy who played 82 games in four years and has two bum knees.

Portland says "hell yes", NO says "ride my suck-stick"

I still think this is a win to win idea! NO would love to download Emeka's contract.
