    He's got a beef with KP, not the Blazers. Now that KP is gone, I imagine he'd be singing our praises. ;)

    He's an asshole who hates our franchise, but he has called some deals before. You're free to do as you wish.

    You realize he hates on most teams right? He's like Canzano with sources in that respect, he generates page hits by writing in a controversial, confrontational style, but he gets scoops because he's so well connected. People take this shit way too personally.

    Looks like Richard Jefferson made the right choice after all to opt out. He won't get $15mill a year but it's going to be a lot higher than what people were saying yesterday.

    This whole FA spending is a fukkin joke, it's ironic so many are bingeing when supposedly a lockout occurs about all these big contracts this next summer - the owners are friggin addicts - they just cannot say no

    They'd have to offer him that. The only reason they didn't is because it was Roy's first extension ,not the second, like in Joe's case.

    Some of this stuff is really ridiculous. I'm betting guys like Andre Miller wish they took a one year MLE or something last season. There's no doubt they would have gotten more in 2010.

    Again, we would be wise not to jump into the FA fray. These contracts are crazy and could really hinder us after the lockout.

    I agree. I don't fear the Hawks at all with or without Joe Johnson. He's being paid like a first-tier guy when he's a second or third tier guy.

    My gut feeling is he's going to New York.

    I like the idea of LeBron going to the Clips. It sets up a Kobe vs. LeBron rivalry which would be huge in the short term and which LeBron will inevitably win, because Kobe is already getting old. Then LeBron is king of Tinseltown, gets huge credit for resurrecting the Clippers (it would be his franchise in a way the Knicks or Bulls would never be). Nets could be a similar resurrection story, but the Knicks have no Kobe, so the story isn't as compelling.
