    Well at least if this is true you will have a lot more people ready to throw pitchforks with you.

    But I can't imagine this possibly being true. The thought is refusing to compute in my head at all.

    As I digest this, I feel it can't possibly be true. It seems much more likely that Roy and LMA want the 3 year/4th option contract due to the low cap next year.

    Quick got this one wrong. He had to have got this one wrong.

    in pritch we trust!

    I don't get why y'all doubting him. He traded for Roy and Aldridge, that's a lifetime "get out of jail free card 4 LIFE"

    And his body is breaking down because his GM can't get the job done helping him out. Knee issues are pretty scary, I sure as hell wouldn't lock up my cap space for someone that might not make it 5 years, too risky in the grand scheme of things.

    I have to think that this is just Quick capatilizing on the vocal minortity of internet grumblings about KP and fact that the Blazers haven't gotten around to signing their players yet to make a fabricated story. He needed some "facts" like the 4 years vs 5 years thing to make it sound credible, but he'll just say, "ah my source was wrong," later.

    I just don't believe this story in any respect other than the fact that they aren't signed yet. Quick and Canzano going back to their old ways. They couldn't get away with mudslinging for a while, and they had to struggle to actually write well informed stories, but anytime they get a chance to base a story on sensationalism, they jump at it.

    If this turned out to be true, I would be utterly flabbergasted. The stupidest GM in the league would sign Roy to a 5 year extension.

    Yes. Paul and Williams were the last max contracts and only 4 years. Should Brandon be paid more than Paul? In this economy? I can see why, if this is true, they would start the offer here.

    I agree with what you said, this is quick trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. I know Ben has a lot of respect for Quick and has defended him on many occasions. Still this might be the most bizarre thing I have ever heard from Quick.

    hahaha... I love that you're getting all your shots in at KP when everybody else is, and is not doubting you at the moment. Nicely played.

    Maybe they anticipate the cap and the max salary reducing dramatically over the next 4 years. :dunno:

    But yes, harsh article. The Blazers golden-boy is finally getting a does of reality. Though, I'm really not terribly upset that we didn't acquire any of these free agents. They all have too many question marks. Age, how they'll fit in with our squad, how much of an upgrade are they to our current players, how will it affect our player's development....

    But I think the Millsap move would be terrific!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Look on the bright side. If this report is true, we can put to rest the idea that "Pritchard overvalues his guys and refuses to let them go."

    Right? :)

    Sometimes I think Quick (and others) say things like this just to watch us fans act like this.

    I read a report that Brandon Roy asked KP to only extend Brandon Roy's contract for 4 instead of 5 years since he wants Brandon Roy gone so it'll be "his team".

    Could be, but this is a pretty big statement to make about the two franchise players and how management is treating them.
