    What, exactly, should the Blazers be doing? The Celtics offered Rondo and couldn't get Paul. What should the Blazers be doing?

    Sheesh.

    Must be, otherwise we'd have to admit that Daryl Morey isn't the genius everyone's always said he is.

    We signed one of the Top 20 Free Agents (according to SI) in Greg Oden.

    That is not shitting the bed.

    That is peeing your pants.

    Apparently the Rockets cleared enough cap room to sign Nene - at a pretty steep price.

    If they sign Nene, they have rebuilt their frontcourt to elite status, but one that will cost them a pretty penny.

    Emeka Okafor may be heading to Los Angeles as well. Still trying to figure out all of the details.

    Yep and when I watched sportscenter; they hinted that the lakers already know something that fills their void on their front court. Sigh I wish this game was fair.

    Okafor dude.

    The Hornets cannot take back all the players they are rumored to get without SENDING OUT a bunch more salary. Thus the guessing that it might be Okafor (a player that would have limited value to a rebuilding Hornets franchise).

    NBA owners have pushed commissioner David Stern to kill the deal sending Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell Y! Sports.

    Did the potential NBA peace just blow up in our faces? Could this make the players say Fuck You, we aren't signing shit, or have they signed already?

    Something tells me all the the I's haven't been dotted and all of the T's haven't been crossed yet, and that's why this deal was shot down so quickly.

    "CP3 to LA? Fuck you, we aren't signing shit."

    Only a hunch, though.

    What's funny is that it was actually a decent deal for all parties....right?
