pietrus for magloire?
First of all, this is NOT some established rumor. So all of you technical peeps that priss WE NEED TO HAVE RULES ON THIS WEBSITE ABOUT POSTING RUMORS! This is pure speculation that also makes sense. Also, GSOMers, I'm not hating on anybody. Im just playin around. #1 thing here is, lets go warriors.
Now that I'm finished talking to the warrior girls, I want to address the topic. The company line coming from Mullin, Nellie, and the media(also if you just watch a game you can tell) is that the warriors are not done dealing. They would like to make another trade before the deadline. The most obvious need for the warriors, which is a need weve had for years, is to get a low post presence. Offense, but more importantly, is defense and rebounding. We need a beast bruiser inside that can also run. Andris cannot be responsible for all the rebounds, and I will not be able to stand it if Anderson Varaejo and his hair dominate us inside. We need an enforcer, intimidator-someone to protect the glass.
Unfortunately, that could be hella hard to get.
Not Looking To Deal?
"Feb 2 - Don't expect a trade before the Feb. 22 deadline. If it happens, it will probably involve Jamaal Magloire. But the Trail Blazers aren't likely to take a veteran in return and for sure, not one with a contract that has many years remaining." espn.com
So, we've been rumored for a season or two as a suitor for jamal magloire. we have a glut of wingmen. Pietrus, altho played well tonight, is the most expendable, and since on the cheap, prolly the most desired player for portland. Hes not a veteran and does not have a big contract.
Raises the questions: Would you want Magloire? Would you want him for Pietrus? Would he fit in with Don Nelsons system? Would Portland do it? Did I follow the rules in posting a rumor? Is everyone emotionally prepared if we dont make the playoffs?

answers to questions:
no
no
probably
rules are meant to be broken
after 13 years i think i'm numb to the idea of no playoffs
whats ur reasoning
dude
why
I'm with JRizzle
The only sane reason not to like this trade is if you've completely given up on the playoffs this year and would prefer that we tank and throw our hats in the Oden/Durant sweepstakes. I'd sympathize with that philosophy if we hadn't already won too many games to have a realistic shot at one of the big two. (For a pretty funny and well-argued defense of TANKING, check the Sportsguy's most recent column). As it stands, you'd have to be nuts not to like this deal.
And YES, I know this isn't a "REAL" rumor, but JRizzle has made that amply clear, and also clearly expressed why it might make sense for both teams. So cut the guy little slack.
reasons...
b) Pietrus fits Nellie-ball, Magloire is not
c) Pietrus is our best rebounding guard
d) We could get a lot better player in return if we were serious about trading him.
magloire is young
