magicbalala245 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) One source close to the process on Friday identified two main obstacles to the aforementioned three-way deal. Concerned about the quality of its backcourt rotation if it has to surrender Hinrich with Thomas after losing Ben Gordon in free agency, Chicago would insist that the Blazers surrender young guard Jerryd Bayless, which Portland is reluctant to do. If it can't get Bayless, Chicago might still be willing to substitute Tim Thomas for Tyrus Thomas in the deal, but sources say Utah would likely balk if Tyrus Thomas is not included.

Flash Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Portland would be moronic to give up on Bayless right now. Kid has potential to be a STUD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 It would be a horrible move on the Blazers part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Bayless is going to be a star in a few years, the Blazers would be very dumb to go through with this. Hinrich has peaked, and I don't see Tyrus getting much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Blazers didn't offer Bayless, Bulls want him. Won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Looks like the deal will be off because Portland will not be giving up Bayless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm sure Pritchard laughed when he heard they wanted Bayless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
