    I'm confused. Is this trade official?

    ESPN.com is reporting it as "tentatively agreed", but the Blazers broadcast is talking like it's pretty official...

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    So far, the trade is a bust, though. The trade exception is invisible out on the court tonight. Disappointing.

    To be fair, he's probably jetlagged...he was in CHI at 1 this afternoon.

    Stop looking only on the offensive side of the court man. The TE is doing a great job on the defense.

    Uh, and exactly who has it stopped? Honestly, it's making no perceptible difference on defense.

    It's all about CHEMISTRY, Minstrel. If it makes no perceptible difference on winning or losing? It's chemistry.

    The TE hasn't passed his physical yet, so he can't play tonight. Jeez, you guys.

    Mike Ruffin is the small forward that this team has been lacking. He can hit the open jumper with regularity and defend like no other. I know it seems like not a big deal, but Ruffin is going to prove a lot of doubters wrong with his strong play. He's going to make Outlaw and Batum his bitches.

    Or he'll be traded again tomorrow. I don't know.

    I've been trying to convince Nate to implement the triangle defense all year!

    What? No Ike Diogu tribute thread? I'd make one, except it would take longer to write than all the minutes that he's played for us.

    So long, Ike. I hope you make great video games.

    I liked Ike.

    Although, I'll admit I'm over it already. TE seems like a really cool guy.

    TE is like the new Channing Frye. No game, but he's all that in a conversation.

    TE is quiet. In fact, rather ego-less.

    I like that. It'll fit right into the team culture.

    There may be no "I" in "TEAM", but there is a "TE" in "TEAM".

    Have you ever noticed that, while it's true there is no "I" in "Team", half of the word is "Me"?
