Re: Sessions? I really do think the other GMs will blink first. We have the cap relief, they want it. I think that is more important that players right now in this economy. So I think KP knows he is dealing from a position of power.
Re: KP is being to greedy!!! He is playing from a possition of power. Unfortunately that will bite him in the ass at some point. Agents wanting players to move...Teams wanting to deal.... If KP demands the moon those teams will shut us out at some point, and those agents might not want their players signing here. I'm not sure KP has very strong diplomacy skills
Re: KP is being to greedy!!! KP has ice water in his veins. He is just waiting to see who folds first. He has three options and you know that one of them will fold rather than come away with nothing at the trade deadline.
Re: KP is being to greedy!!! I'd rather trust KP than someone who prints unsubstantiated rumors as fact and does not know the difference between "to" and "too".
Re: Sessions? Also, I said this in another thread, but the MSP was interviewing someone in Milwaukee this morning, and they said Milwaukee wants Outlaw, Rudy and Raef for RJ and Ridnour. It seems like KPs counter offer is Outlaw, Sergio and Raef for RJ and Sessions? Maybe PDX throws in a pick or 2?
Re: KP is being to greedy!!! So it'd be essentially Frye for Carter, and we want Frye for Carter and a 1st rounder. Haha..
Re: KP is being to greedy!!! God damn I hope its Wallace. WE should comprimise and take Nazr but not include Batum. Hopefully they'd do that.
Re: KP is being to greedy!!! Yes, I wish KP just took the first offer he was given instead of playing his cards out....
Re: Sessions? This can also be merged into the ESPN Trade Roundup thread. ESPN is reporting KP wants Sessions too. That's probably where MSP got the information anyway.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Christ KP, way to wait till the last minute. If we don't make a trade, how disappointing is it going to be. I mean, I know Mixum should be on suicide watch, but what about the rest of ya'll?
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Batum can defend PGs and not play PG, but Wallace can defend and play PF on top of SF like Batum. Wallace is also a better defender and better on offense and is only 26. A Wallace/Batum SF rotation would be sick as hell!
Re: Sessions? I know, right? That is a ridiculous offer. I laughed when he said that, and so did the MSP boys. They like the Sessions trade though, as I think I do. They think that KP has been targeting Sessions for a while, and that is why PDX and MIL have been in trade talks for so long.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Did I miss Batum shutting down Chris Paul? Because the last time the Blazers played New Orleans, I remember Chris Paul abusing everybody who tried to guard him until he pulled his groin.
Re: Sessions? Blake, Sergio, Outlaw, Raef, Frye, 1st for RJ and Sessions? IDK if they'd do it. I think you either do a trade for Wallace/Nazr or RJ/Sessions.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? My take has been consistent. If a deal is made, I fully expect it to be fairly lopsided in terms of talent in the Blazers' favor. If no deal is made, I'll assume that there was no such trade offered. I also expect the economy to get much worse before it gets much better, so teams struggling financially now may be even more desperate after the season to unload contracts.
