這是espn insider的專欄作家 Chad Ford 自己提出來的想法！ 僅節錄有關拓荒者的部分： 一、 Rasheed Wallace to Washington Kwame Brown, Jahidi White and Christian Laettner to Portland Why the Blazers should do it: It's time to clean house. New Blazers GM John Nash has to rethink everything the Blazers have done the last five years. On paper, they still have the talent to compete in the West. But in practice, the team just doesn't work. With five teams in the West already primed and ready for a run at the title, what's the point of a first-round playoff exit and more embarrassing off-the- court problems. The team should start the process right away by shipping Wallace out of town. For all of his talent, what has he really done for the team? He's an unrestricted free agent next summer, and third-year forward Zach Randolph is already their best low-post scorer. Adding Brown takes the sting out of losing Wallace. Brown has been disappointing his first two years in the league, but he's still very young and really needs a change of scenery. White and Laettner are cap fillers. The good news is that they both have only two years left on their contracts. The downside? Brown continues his listless play. 二、 Dale Davis、Ruben Patterson、Bonzi Wells to Dallas Raef LaFrentz、Michael Finley to Portland Why the Blazers should do it: Because removing one bad apple won't be enough to change the karma in Portland. If the Blazers can also dump Wells and Patterson, they have, over night, changed the character of this team for the better. Finley is an all-star- caliber swingman without the baggage or inconsistency that Wells brings to the table. LaFrentz isn't the tough interior defender that Davis is, but when given the minutes, he's one of the best shot blockers in the league. The downside? The Blazers lose a little on the talent, but the gains in chemistry should more than make up for that. Forget about cap space. Both LaFrentz and Finley are locked into long-term deals. Projected Starting Five: PG Derek Anderson SG Michael Finley SF Kwame Brown PF Zach Randolph C Raef LaFrentz --
