    Not nearly as much as Travis Outlaw.

    I'm a little dissapointed no doubt, but this could have been Paul Allen's call. We don't know the offers available so I can't be blame KP for anything. All we hear is Vescey like reports from wannabe jouranlists who are usually passed on from ball boys sweeping up in the front office lounge. Hopefully we'll be able to do something in the summer to acquire a good talent like Sessions.

    So does this put some more added pressure on the Blazers to make the playoffs now?

    I didn't say anything about cap space. The ability to take on existing contracts in a trade is a more valuable asset in this economy, and the Blazers are saving money right now on RLEC.

    The fact that you are so negative about this is actually comforting to me. The last time you went on a KP rampage was the night he pulled the LMA/Roy moves. I was correct then, and I will be correct later on this summer. Just wait.

    I think it puts more pressure to catch up to Denver and win the division.

    how would we do that? we;ll have to give up more than we would have right now....meaning we'll be forced to give up young talent instead of washed up, HUGE expiring contracts.

    Nets have to live with Carter's contract, the Blazers don't.

    Win for the Blazers.

    Do you really think he asked for a first rounder in that scenario?

    Michael MotherFucking Ruffin is my consolation prize. I'm sure that he's better than Channing Frye!!

    Pritch could have at least gotten us Steven of Nazereth back to play some defense!!!

    Lucky Thorn, still left with VC's contract on a franchise that is hemhorraging money, with a team that is sinking fast, and with a future that looks to be going nowhere. But he wasn't robbed!

    They had a deal for RLEC and Frye for Carter and Ager. Both teams areed on those 4 players but KP thought he could steal a draft pick from Thorn so he said no.

    How so? We have cap space to sign presumably a pretty good player. We wouldn't have to give up shit.

    I don't want to know what he thinks the best deal was, I want to know what specific deal was turned down by Portland.
