Maybe Wheelz will give us some hints

on MSP or wheelz afterwork or the game about what is going to happen.....I just get the feeling we arent going to trade....which stinks.

 

yea, starting to think we won't make a move

 

Why?

 

I didn't get that impression from Wheels at all.

 

I'm not sweating it. RLEC is a terrific commodity and the offers will only improve the closer we get to the deadline.

I not only think we'll move him, I think we'll make two trades.

 

As for Wheels giving any hints, he's an employee of the Blazers. He's only putting out what the team wants us to hear.

 

There will be no deal until the hour or two before the deadline.

-Watch Steve Blake in the Memphis game. If he's okay, there probably won't be a PG trade

-I'm thinking Webster's health is too much of a question mark. I don't think they will approach a playoff run with 1 1/2 SFs on the roster, with Batum being the 1.

At the least, they will probably make that deal with the Kings for Salmons.

 

Amen

 

So, HCP, what does the team want us to hear?

 

That you will all support the team win or lose!

 

so the cake isn't smelling too good huh.

 

If a deal were to happen, it wouldn't be on a Tuesday, and it wouldn't be preceded by news reports on a Tuesday.

Ford, Bucher, Stein... these guys have their sources, but I don't think they're hot on the trail, they just pick up the pieces of dead deals.

Let's wait until at least tomorrow night before we start calling things dead.

 

It's fruit cake.

Eww.

 

why wouldnt it be on a tuesday?

 

Trade the cake.

 

As long as it's not for one of those crappy Baskin Robbins' ice cream cakes we're good.

 

Bake it!

 

teach the cake how to play perimeter defense.

 

That's true, but it's clear he's gone to KP and asked exactly what he can and can't say in a very detailed manner, and then a couple of days before a key event like a draft day or trade deadline will relate everything he can say.

If you've followed his pre-draft statements the last couple of years, you know Wheelz pre-draft statements have been closer then anyone else in the media to what KP has done on draft day. He said he thought it was "more likely than not" the Blazers would draft a PG with the top pick, and gave a list of a 5 or 6 top PGs that he thought the Blazers would select from. Bayless name was on it that list, but nobody really thought Bayless would drop to where as far as he did. The year before that he said he thought it was "pretty likely" the Blazers would select Oden. Before that he was dead on about KP's apparent interest in Brandon Roy.
