    I wish we were stealing Marc Gasol.

    Our defense would improve in leaps and bounds.

    Kind of an inside joke because Voodoo talks about Allen being their best defender.

    Funny thing is Allen had the most votes for nba 1st defense team and Marc only made 2nd team.

    Man, I hope not, but best of luck to ya'll... if our new ownership group cheaps out on this one, it might be time for me to take hiatus as a fan.

    It seems like the community's really trying their part to keep him in town though. He just won the "Spirit of Memphis Award," whatever that is... and he made an autograph signing appearance this Saturday with lines out the door. I think the community might be more interested in keeping him than Pera (the new owner) and fucking John Hollinger...

    Yeah man, I'm happy for Marc, but not only did he not really deserve it, the real deserving DPOY was his own teammate... this was the third year in a row that Allen got snubbed.

    Well it is. Look how good the west is. Most people in Portland thought at the start of last season the Blazers had a playoff team.

    Tony Allen did say he loved Portland and Neil, maybe he'll give us a discount?

    Yeah, I agree. I'd really like to see how much they were talking about offering Kaman. I wonder if Neil was courting Kaman as a backup to Asik or Gortat.

    I don't think anyone saw this from several hours ago with Kevin Martin

    Anyone have any info on Aaron Brooks and Carlos Delfino? I wouldn't mind picking up either one on the cheap.

    The fact that Houston just cut them instead of dealing them for trade exceptions/picks/euro-stashes is still bizarre to me... how has Brooks fallen so far out of favor in such a short amount of time?

    Man, he'd be a perfect fit for Memphis... the missing link. We just don't have many trade assets, other than Prince's expiring contract, unless we want to break up our core. We could offer picks, but what would those picks even be worth? Probably not worth a player like Martin...

    That team still needs someone who can feed the post. BADLY. I don't think it particularly matters where they play, but I think maybe someone like Vince Carter makes some sense, as another ballhandler out there. Dallas may be looking to dump his salary too, who knows.

    Lillard (34) / CJ (14)
    Allen (30) / CJ (9) / VC (9)
    Batum (34) / VC (14)
    Aldridge (34) / Robinson (14)
    Asik (30) / O'neal (18)

    I think w/CJ's inexperience that team is far better. Not sure how we get Vince if we've signed TA though, as we'd have to go over the cap or something. Out of curiosity, I know he's a decent passer, but I see Claver's handles as not allowing him to be a great post entry passer. Same thing with Batum. Am I wrong?

    Monta... Bargnani... Amare... Carmelo...

    What the hell is their GM thinking? That's like $75 mill in annual salary and no defense...

    How will they even clear the room for Ellis... would it be an Amare sign-and-trade?

    The Spurs don't have Carmelo Anthony.
