He can plaaaaaaay. He started for the Blazers for a while and he did great. How'd he slip past us?! Maybe with Frye in Phoenix they'll give us Stoudamire for a nice chocolate cake, or Tay. Slightly different subject. I don't understand the logic of tradinh Afflalo for a pick. This pick is going to hand us ANOTHER young player who needs development - if we don't even develop the players we have, what's the point in getting more youth? Are they hoping to strike lucky with some amazing talent? Afflalo was a great defender, and that's a good base to develop on... We knew what we had, we just have to utilize it. :/ Damn, we missed out. He can plaaaaaaay. He started for the Blazers for a while and he did great.

I agree the Pistons should have acquired him for next to nothing! http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60550/20090713/frye_reaches_two_year_deal_with_phoenix/ @ Astrid.

I guess I'll have to retire my Afflalo jersey earlier than expected. Good Luck in the Mile High City. Say what's up to C.Bills.

Maybe Stoudamire, but only because of poor management. It's hard to think of one player that you could trade for Tayshaun. Boozer.. eh, maybe, but we could wait a year for that cumbersome old man. I honestly thing Channing Frye and someone else from that YOUNG team would be lovely. How about Rip and Tay for Brandon Roy and Channing Frye, yeah, right! If only...

We traded Afflalo. WHAT?! I love Afflalo... Um, anyways - I'm a little. I would trade Tayshaun For Channing Frye and someone else from that Blazer team. Channing WANTS to be a starter, I've seen his frustration. He can start, he plays JUST like Aldridge. He's not great with picks, but he has the mid-range shot and height. The other person.. Meh, Outlaw if we could. He makes for an alright replacement at the 3. … We traded Afflalo. WHAT?!

That makes a hell of difference and one of the reasons why i wanna keep him. Then u messed with the trade Rip thing... Hell EVERYBODY messing up with the trade Rip thing! I feel like there's a trade Rip movement coming or something. But one person I would trade Tay for is Amare straight up. Bosh...oh Lebron, Melo and idk i cant really think of nobody else just off my head right now. But basically somebody that can REPLACE or is just outright better than him. Somebody who can bring us what he brings us plus more. Even though that dude is WEAK (John and Deven I'm still not letting that go!) he is the most consistant player on our team and brings alot to the table.

If you're observant when you watch the games, he has the trainer on hand and is nearly ALWAYS being worked on, even sore the guy plays great (maybe not offensively) & he has great intangibles. Trade Rip, gimme some Afflalo action - love him. :D I honestly don’t recall someone giving their body as much as our Prince.
