Phoenix gets fucked in this trade, to say it nicely.

What do you guys think of vonleh? I like him during the draft but he hasn't really play much or done anything of note.

Will you consider a deal centered around bazz and vonleh?

NOPE.

Portland newsite speculating that they should consider trading their 1st round pick for Bazz. http://www.inquisitr.com/2788448/blazers-trade-rumors-shabazz-muhammad-trade-to-portland-trail-blazers-being-considered/

Chandler's contract is an albatross and Markieff is slowly killing everything in that organization. Pek's deal is done a year sooner than Chandler. It would be a total Ewing theory trade of addition by subtraction while also helping the chemistry and long-term salary of the team.

Isn't Denzell Valentine projected to go around 16th? Mmmm, a one trick pony for a regular triple-double threat that can shoot from outside. I like that!

I'm not sure what we can get for Bazz, but I understand the reason for shopping him. I can't see us signing him beyond his rookie deal and he has enough value to get us a positive asset in return.

He kind of reminds me of Anthony Randolph, just with a better attitude. In terms of ability anyway.

I don't know if I would swap bazz for him though. If we could include Crabbe as well I'd pull the trigger. Although Crabbes a UFA this offseason so we could sign him outright. But I guess we'd have bird rights to him if we acquired him via trade.

Bazz & Prince for Vonleh & Crabbe?

The key word here is 'should' and not 'would'. I like bazz and he certainly has role on the team or any team he will play for. But I dont think a team will consider trading for him with a top 25 pick.

I still believe Valentine's going to be a lottery pick. I wouldn't mind moving Bazz for a pick like that (mid-1st), though. Would have to be the right player who had a couple years in college to work on his game...

I suggest Caris LeVert. Knockdown 3P shooter (40%+ three years in college on good volume). Great size for a SG at 6'7. Decent athlete. Above average handle. Averaging 5+ APG this year. Has injury problems, which is why he'll be available in that range, but he's a guy I'd draft regardless. The talent's there.
