'Reef's new rumor

The Blazers are going to build around Zach Randolph, and the
last thing they want is an unhappy power foward behind him.
Abdur-Rahim has only one year left on his contract, but it's
for $14.6 million. It sure sounds like he's headed for the
New York Knicks, who are desperate to put together a team that
can contend immediately.

Obviously, the trade rumor involving sending Abdur-Rahim to
New York is far-fetched. However, I believe it creates an
opportunity for Nash and Co. to dispose of some salary headaches,
e.g. Ruben Patterson. I believe the Blazers might be willing
to downgrade on Shareef's presumed value if they could pawn off
Patterson's contract on someone else. An Abdur-Rahim/Patterson
($20.5 mill next year) for Hardaway/Jerome Williams ($20.2
million next year) could definitely work. Williams is a fan-
favorite and Penny would add depth to the much-needed depth at
the shooting guard position. For NY, they get a solid energy SF
off the bench and he goes to a market that seems much less
concerned with players' off-court reputations. They also get a
perenial PF in Shareef. In addition, Penny is off the books in
2006, so it isn't a major committment to an injury-prone player.
I'd take Kurt Thomas in place of Williams but that seems highly
unlikely from Isaiah's perspective.

TT is a very good three point shooter who can play 2 and 3. He
is comfortable being a 6th man. Package him with N Mohammed and
J Brewer (a throw in for salary match who can be waived), for R
Patterson and SAR, and the Blazers have the outside shooting 6th
man they so dearly need and a real back up at 5 and 4. And they
dump RP (NY is one of the few cities which would probably tolerate
his past).
