Only question is for who? http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/55572/20081121/knicks_set_to_acquire_harrington/
Rumor is it's either Malik Rose or Jamaal Crawford. Knowing how Mike D is, I suspect Harrington is their new starting Center while Randolph slides over to PF.
Just gonna say I'm on my iPhone and it's so cool that safari works with this website. If Al was traded for Crawford than GState won this trade. Al is on the verge of being washed up so for NY to make this trade Mike must really hate him.
http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/55578/20081121/possible_three_way_blockbuster/ Now they are saying Zach to LA, Crawford to GS and Harrington to NY. I like it.
That would be a great move by the Knicks, although it would make the west that much harder because of the actual basketball talent coming back. On a possitive note Dunleavy doesn't have any hair to pull out watching Zach on D
translation....another year of no post season for the blazers. GS and SA will get in. Blazers and Mavs wont
This trade really isn't going to help GS enough to beat us out for a playoff spot. I don't even think GS will be a 9th seed. I think unless Manu doesn't come back SA was always going to make the playoffs.
Every time I think you can't get more negative, you exceed my expectations. MIXUM, you never disappoint.
Well GS did just beat the Blazers . . . they are 5-6, on a 2 game winning streak, playing the Bulls tonight and have been missing their star player from the begining of the season who is going to return this year . . . and I figure Crawford will only help their team.
All that is true but I think Oden is just going to get better and the team is only going to get better after learning to play with him. I also think Webster is going to be back and help us. I think there is a chance we make a good trade at the deadline using LaFrenz and 1 or 2 of our players to get a better player to help us get to the playoffs.
Crawford plays the same position as either that "Star Player" or "Anthony Morrow", who's only been the most slurped rookie of the last 2 weeks and a big reason they won 2 of those 5 games. He'll take shots from Maggette, who's also been good for them. I'm not sure Biedrins is averaging 17/15 all year. They have to play us at home sometime, though they have the 2-1 home advantage. I'm actually feeling anti-MIXUMish...my worry isn't on the opposition anymore, it's if we'll come out and play the way we can each game. I know that won't happen, but aside from injuries, we should win the division and make it a moot point (though DEN is looking tough).
I agree with all that . . . I just don't think one can disregard the GS team as a playoff contender. But, for today, I think the Blazers have a good chance for the playoffs. Either a team like GS won't put it all together to make the playoffs or one of the "old teams" can't overcome the injuries they have during the season.
And it took shooting 33 of 35 from the FT line (even though they had the 2nd lowest FT% before the game) and us sleepwalking through much of the game for them to do it. And even then, it still took a set of shitty calls for them to eek out a victory. I don't sweat Golden State.
