    Somehow, with Portland at least, that doesnt surprise me at all. They seem to come across very much so as a "team" management type of organization. With that said I would LOVE to see the look on KP face and hear how he talks around his answer if he were asked, "Has anyone on your staff talked to anyone on their staff?" Something tells me after a second to consider the answer the reporter would get a short and quick "No comment" or "Im not able to discuss that". Fun article the AMB, thanks for the post.

    Thanks, ABM. I've always been curious about how trades get done, and this article explains part of the process. What I'd really like to hear is the conversation between two GMs about player X and player Y, and to understand what kind of deal-making goes on, and how the two GMs finally arrive at an agreement. I love the behind-the-scenes part of making trades in the NBA.
