KP has said he probably won't make a trade before the trade deadline. He's said "We're going to give two, three, four players for one [big man]. I know those players mean more to us than that trade." (Here's the article: http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2010/02/trail_blazers_ins...

The Bucks waived G/F Bruce Bowen today. I think we should seriously consider signing him, for several reasons. First, he's a defensive stopper. Yes, he's lost a step or two, but I envision him as an 11th or 12th man who could be used to both teach our young guys and in situations that we either nee...

Here's the thing about Miller: It's a 2 year trial run until Bayless is ready. Bayless can score. Period, end of story. No questions. He can shoot and drive to the basket. He just needs to learn how to RUN a team: distribute, create, etc. Now we have insurance for at least two years for him to be a...

For those unaware, the Jazz have decided (as expected my many) to match Portland's so-called "toxic" offer to Paul Millsap. Before everyone starts freaking out, this should NOT be viewed as a bad thing. Yes, he would have made a terrific backup, but do we really want to be paying an undersized PF ...

Well thats what your first post should have said. But again with the reading, I and HowardLee talked about his leadership qualities. There's not really a whole lot else to say. You really actually have to use the stats if you want to know how he played. To begin with, his 7 pts from the charity st...

Streetball, here's the problem with Nate Robinson: he is no good. He's a below-average PG at best. Look at his stats BEFORE Mike D'Antoni: 26.2 MIN, .443 FGP, .332 3PT, 12.7 PTS, 2.9 AST, 3.1 RBD, 1.4 TO. So basically, you have an undersized PG who can't really shoot and doesn't pass. Great. He had...

The Blazers lost our first Summer League game tonight. Which is not really very concerning. The scores of the games are completely meaningless; going undefeated in Summer League is the exact same as going winless. What does matter, however, are the individual performances. The Blazers only have fo...

A few things:
First, it wasn't a grumpy yap-fest. The all caps are merely for emphasis, because the site doesn't let you put things in italics, underline them, or make them bold. I'm neither yelling nor grumpy, just trying to draw attention to important words or phrases.
Second, you obviousl...

Dear KP and Paul Allen,
Here's what you should have done with B-Roy's contract negotiations: sat down with him, his agent, and Coach McMillan, and given him a blank piece of paper and said "Write your own contract". As many years and as much money as he wants, with whatever terms he wants. You i...

MIllsap is not going to happen. Any reasonable offer we make to him Utah will match. Because he is so versatile we would have to overpay in order to get him.
