No doubt that acquiring Porter should be a solid boost for the Clips.
The only reservation I have about this trade from the Clips point of view is Rebounding. Oakley in modest minutes produces 8 rebounds a game. The Clips are currently about average in rebounding . . .Losing Oakley could diminish their rebounding capability and that would not be a positive result.
You would think the added value of Porter would offset any such loss, but something to watch for the next couple of sims.

I think I should be ok in the rebounding department with Mahorn and West picking up Oakley's minutes. I did have some reservations about this area, but the emergence of Smits this season made Oakley expendable. Now the big question will be getting Porter resigned after the season.

I just hope that Oaks will step up when i point him up, if he does i will be happy because I find it more important to have two very good big guys downlow. Plus I want to make a couple more moves so I can open up some more for FA and get myself a very good SF.

i thought about offering a rodman deal for oakley...would you have been interested in all for that? Probably not. Rodman gives great defense and rebounding, but nothing else. On my team I would view Rodman as a backup PF/SF, where Oakley was getting minutes at PF & C. Currently I have 4 guys that I would be comfortable giving SF minutes.

Well, if Rodman's going to "get all up on my face", then I'm never going to trade for him. Picturing that thought will keep from getting any sleep for weeks.

the problem i had with rodman was he is a starter on my team...and a majority of the games he would only play 20-25 minutes because hes always in foul trouble...so he definately makes a nice backup
