    Does this mean Larry Miller will get Jay Z to play opening night instead of some of the old 70's groups in year's past?

    It's easy to say that now, but what will they say when Gerald walks, or worse yet, they pay him and he continues to slide?

    Also, it won't taste so good in their mouths if the guy we draft at #6 ends up being a really good player OR we turn the 6th pick into a good player.

    And then the ultimate slap in the face, if we somehow, someway, sign Deron this summer and they're left with Gerald Wallace and Brooke Lopez.

    We loved what Gerald Wallace brought to the table. We loved what Gerald Wallace brought to the table at home. We loved what Gerald Wallace brought to the table every 7 games. We loved getting rid of Wallace!

    It's actually pretty shocking that he could decline so quickly. His explosiveness is gone and is now primarily a below the rim player.

    On the bill Simmons podcast, chad ford said that talking to other team GMs around the league, the blazers were only trying to get a mid to late-mid first round pick for GW. The nets were crazy to give the blazers the 6th. Simmons believed that the blazers would have made the trade if the pick were top 10 protected. I'm not so sure I Agee, but I sure am glad the blazers got what they got.

    I bet they'd really hate us if we swooped in and stole their C (Lopez) or PG (Williams)

    I don't like the idea of a Lopez/Aldridge front court. Worst rebounding duo in the league.

    Billy King always has been, currently is, and for the foreseeable future always will be full of crap.

    What's he going to say? "Hell yeah, I got hoodwinked and bamboozled. I rolled the dice hoping to keep Deron here and came up craps, because I was dazzled by how many hoops that interim guy Chris or Chuck or Charlie or whoever had to go through to make this trade and eventually lost track. How the eff did I give up a lotto pick for a past-his-prime Gerald Wallace rental?! How am I not fired yet? Someone shoot me now!"
