    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Could this be a Chris Paul trade announcement? I think so. Drama: Who starts, Andre Miller the established veteran starter or Chris Paul the newcomer who has proved nothing as a Blazer?

    In this eventuality, I'm not sure what, if anything, was sent to New Orleans in return.

    That's right. They removed about 12" from it in the picture.

    I guess when they said that one leg was shorter than the other, nobody considered the 3rd leg?

    Rice on Courtside guesses that the news is regarding Bayless.

    I know. It's Mike Rice. I don't think any of his predictions ever come true.

    The roster is so unbalanced at SG, if Bayless wants out how can you blame him?

    It was only a matter of time before players like Rudy and potentially a Bayless get upset with there playing time. This is why a consolidation trade was needed awhile ago, yet, KP would have nothing to do with trading his young guys. Maybe Cho will do it, but I don't know what for at this point.

    IMO Bayless has nothing to worry about right now. Rudy is the guy that isn't going to see the light of day.

    If Bayless thinks he is a pG (and I think he does) he won't care about the Elliott Williams or Wes Matthews additions.

    Sure, he may think so, but Nate may not and may not play him a whole lot because of it. On one hand it makes sense, because he is not a PG at this point, but him being one of the better players in the playoffs for us last season should let him have a chance early in the regular season and get some decent minutes even if Bayless makes a mistake or two (do not take him out after just one little mistake), but since it is Nate, he knows he cannot survive.

    I don't think that is the case with Nate though. Nate has a hard time trusting young players. Bayless will be entering his 3rd year. I am guessing at some point, Nate makes a transition from young player to vet. Kind of like how Outlaw started getting some trust after he got a few years under his belt. The only players who have got trust earlier were Roy and Aldridge, and even Aldridge had to wait until his second year to gain that trust.

    This one. He can guard PGs as well as anyone on the roster, and defense is pretty important.

    Bayless probably saw the Johnson and Williams trades and wondered wtf was going on. I'm not sure that he can do anything about it (except get better) but I could see how and why he'd be replaced.

    So apparently Nate knows nothing about the drama issue. Are we not sure Quick is just being a fucking idiot again?

    In regards to this thread, the only planet that counts. Bayless's.

    The one where Steve Patterson was solely responsible for acquiring Roy and LMA.
