Portland Trailblazers looking to Trade Up 16-19

Rudy>>>>>>Henry

 

[FirstTimer]

The only way I can see us getting Rudy is if it's a deal kind of like this:

Bulls get:
Rudy Fernandez

Blazers get:
17th pick
James Johnson

 

[BigP50]

17th pick and James Anderson or they use the 17th pick to get James Anderson?

Huh?

 

[BigP50]

I'll bet that Xavier has a better 1st season than Rudy did

prior to belief,henry is a good shooter BUT he can slash to the basket very well too if you watched some of his games at kansas.....

yeah, i think his game can translate to the nba very well.

 

[Anytime23]

Hes a very good all around scorer. He would work well with Rose in the back court.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

yea he would be a solid starter for the bulls

 

[FirstTimer]

The problem is you may not have the luxury of waiting to see if Henry is there. Portland may want to do this deal before the draft too.

At that point do you do it and risk Henry being there when we would have picked?

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

i'd take fernandez

he's a proven player

henry hasnt played a minute in the nba

at this point fernandez>henry

you take fernandez

 

[Anytime23]

But what has he proven? He hasnt shown the making of being a dynamic scorer and he missed a qtr of the season. If im giving up the chance to land a top SG prospect, i want someone who i know can be a difference maker.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

i have to be honest

i'd be surprised if the bulls got henry at #17

you would have to trade up to get him imo

 

[Anytime23]

Youll never know. People didnt think Blair would fall to the Spurs in the 2nd round

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

henry wasnt undersized and wasnt missing ACLs

 

[JCM]

Youll never know. People didnt think Blair would fall to the Spurs in the 2nd round

yeah but thats because blairs legs were messed up during the draft.

they said they were a ticking time bomb.

 

[Anytime23]

Yeah, thats true. But he wasnt supposed to fall that far
