Jerryd Bayless???

[fanofgreen]

Not sure if anyone else has posted about his or not yet, i just did a brief look around so i'm not sure, but Hoopshype.com is reporting that Jerryd Bayless is available or at least tradeable on the portland trailblazer roster.

Should we pursue him or not? what do we have to offer? (just throwing a few ?'s out there for discussion)

[ssspence]

not a very good shooter, and he's a poor passer. decent defender -- but who would we give up? they needs 3s and 4s. you'd likely have to give up Baby to get him and I don't think you do that.

I'd give up Baby for Mills and Bayless in a second. I say Mills  because there was one rumor that they'd cut Mills for a stretch 4, but i'd take mills and bayless for baby and hudson (or cut hudson)

unfortunately a baby for bayless trade (even with some other parts thrown in) is next to impossible due to baby's BYC status. it'd have to be a much bigger deal.

Tweak it.

Either
Baby, Hudson, Giddens, #2

for

Mills, Pendergraph, Bayless, Cunningham


OR

Baby, Tony, #2

For

Mills, Pendergraph, Bayless, Cunningham, Howard


With us buying out Howard and one of Cunningham/Pendergraph to re sign with Portland and then cutting Giddens, Hudson, or Cunningham/Pendergraph, whichever one we kept.


OR, just

Baby, Tony

for

Mills, Pendergraph, Bayless, Cunningham, Howard

with a promise to buy out all but Bayless/Mills. We'd get some cash to cover the deal (portland owner's not hurting), so the deal would effectively be:

Baby/Tony for Mills/Bayless.

Bayless has a serious case of tunnel vision. I'm watching the Blazers@Knicks and he's been reminding me of Nate Robinson. He's skilled at that particular craft though.

a 9 player deal with pre-arranged buyouts? not going to happen.

[Change]

The number of Big Baby trades catching up with the Ray Allen trades. Both don't make any sense. Unless if Jerryd Bayless makes a miracles turn around, he's a certified bust. And What makes you think Doc will even play him? Doc doesn't play unproven players.

He's 21... far too soon to be talking 'bust'.  With that said, your other point is very true - he wouldn't get any playtime here.

If 13 players, picks, and cash (including for anticipated buyouts) can be exchanged in an Antoine Walker sign-and-trade, anything can happen.

[Who]

I don't think the Celtics have anything good enough to offer to tempt the Blazers to give up on Bayless ... outside of Perk + Rondo which is clearly a no-go for the Celtics.

 not saying it never does, but can't think of one where the biggest contract in the bunch was a BYC $3mil deal!

maybe I'm missing the boat on Bayless but why would we trade for someone that's not much of a shooter or passer?  We need someone that can do both.

i have to echo stk's question. i have not seen this guy play at all,so if anyone knows more or has seen him play, please post some info here.

his stats are nothing to write home about for being the 11th pick in the draft last year.

min/game = 10 (down from 12 his rookie year)
pts/g = 5.9
assts/g = 1.0
rbs/g = 0.7

maybe he just cant get playing time on portland's team?
