Big Baby and Scals for Martell Webster/Juwan Howard (trade idea)

[RJ87]

RJ,

Thanks so much for being so professional, I mean juvenile.  "LOL."  Are you serious?  Grow up son.

Let's think about this.  Does Pryz. or Oden have a 15 footer to pull big men out away from the lane? NO!  Are either of them known for their physical presence down low?  NO!  Yes, they both can block shots, but neither are known for pushing bigs off the block, are they?  NO!

Has Martell EVER averaged 16 and 6 in the playoffs?  NO!  Has he ever hit a game winning shot in the NBA semis?  NO!

I don't think they immediately hang up the phone.

As LarBrd33 pointed, Glen Davis is just not a valuable trade piece. He's struggled with his weight and maturity issues. Yes, he had a decent playoff run last year but then followed it up by fighting just before the season started and injuring himself.

Martell is looking to be a solid contributer - on a consistent basis - for Portland. He's young, and seems to be levelheaded.

No way Portland literally hands him to us for nothing comparable. And with Pryz and Oden coming back next season, how much of a factor can BBD really be for them?

You've undermined yourself a few times. I can concede that the trade is good idea, but you've got to provide a reason why other than basically saying "just because".
