    I really have no idea why Wojo hates Pritchard so much. Like he has gone after him with such venom (even making up lies and exaggerating innocent comments by KP to make him out to be like this evil emperor overlord residing in a throne made of blood-stained gold in the ice covered northwest) for no apparent reason except the Darius Miles issue/statement... which KP didn't even make.

    Sounds like he just used us to get more money from Toronto. In the interview from Oregonlive yesterday, he said winning and money were important. After taxes, the money he gets from us is the same as he would get from Toronto. We also have a better chance of winning. His actions are contradictory from what he said yesterday.

    He never had any intention of signing with Portland. We just got used.

    fuck Andre Miller. He is not the answer. what kind of winning has he ever had? That was the point of vet leadership wasn't it? Playoff experience? yeah, that's a resounding THUD.

    Feels like the good old days of NHL teams using the city to accomplish the same thing, don't it?

    CP3 is not an option. He is the only thing keeping basketball in New Orleans and that franchise any good at all. It just isn't going to happen unless they got a superstar in return.

    owner is a cheapskate and they're in financial trouble I believe. he's fucked up in the past many times IIRC. they don't have any fan support anyways so might as well blow it up since they have to pay him max money, the team isn't going to compete anymore..they've become a dinosaur even though they have a young core.

    Bayless + Rudy + Outlaw/Webster/Batume might be a starting off point.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Oh well. Here's my plan:

    Step 1: Renounce Koponen/Freeland
    Step 2: ???
    Step 3: END UP WITH CHRIS PAUL

    While I'm sure many a people appreciate the fine hula-hooping skills of Travis Outlaw I do not think, and while only my opinion, that New Orleans management would find this to be an acceptable trade.

    It is just never going to happen. They will gut the team of everything but Paul to save money, but they are not trading him until 2011/12 at the earliest.

    never say never. go big or go home seems to be the resounding theme in the NBA and its worked the last two years and likely for the next few.

    right now the blazers are going home.

    That would be more original if I hadn't been twittered with that same sentiment from another NBA site (equivalent to hoopsworld).
