Or, alternately, which might the team actually consider? I've got the following agreed to:

Raja Bell
Ajinca
$3 million
#12

for

Rip Hamilton
#15
And (maybe) a first rounder for next year

I've also got:

Gerald Wallace
D.J. Augustine
#12

for

Jamal Crawford
Brandan Wright
C.J. Watson
#7

If this were to come through I'd try to move the #7 for a lower pick and a backup SG or SF.

Is there any sort of list of places out-of-town Blazers fans gather to watch the games? I'm way on the other side of the country in D.C. but would love to plunk down in a bar to watch the playoff games with fellow Rip City refugees. Do the congressional staffs watch the games somewhere? Should I just pick a place, post it and hope?

Filler filler filler, filler filler -- filler filler!

Tried a few things in Trade Machine and this seemed ot be the one it was most likely that the Wizards would agree to: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=3204~2754~454~3025~1705~851&teams=27~27~27~27~22~22

That's RLEC, Rudy, Sergio and Channing for Butler and Etan Thomas. In my opinion that's still a good trade for us (barely), assuming the team gave Martell a contract for a reason. Sucks to lose Rudy, but I have trouble seeing the Wizards take Outlaw and change (I'm figuring Bayless + maybe the rights to Koppenen).

This seemed like the best trade I could come up with that seemed believable. Hinrich + Deng would be fantastic, but seems questionable from Chicago's end of it.
