    Quick now sucking up to big G.O. calling him a force, and his becoming part of the Big 3 to be key to the playoffs. Guess he's not underwhelming to him anymore!

    I find it funny that people got so mad at Quick and other journalists pointing out that greg sucked early in the season. THAT IS HIS JOB! To report what he sees. Now that he is playing well, he is reporting so.

    He asked him about it during the preseason before he played a regular season game. I think even Quick admitted it was probably a little too early to ask that type of question.

    Quick talking about Rudy getting a free pass from the fans, which is absolutely 100% true. I'm not sure I've seen the guy criticized yet this year. I know I haven't, yet he's had some brutal games and taken some brutal shots.

    Quick teasing a big trade with an East team that includes RLEC and two (or was it three?) rotation players. Won't tell any more about what he knows.

    I expected more from Rudy that's for sure.... He's been sucking-it-up lately.....however, that reverse jam last night was wicked.

    I'm thinking Hinrich and Deng if it really is a point guard and small forward combo, and their owner is notoriously cheap, so RLEC could be really appealing.

    I think that is a good possibility. He also said it would require 2 rotation players (non starters) and RLEC.

    I'm hoping Sergio and Fry.... .

    its gotta be 1 0f 4 teams IF THIS IS EVEN TRUE....


    1. Bulls. Kirk and Deng. With rose emerging and the bulls going nowhere, i could see this going down.

    2. Bucks. Jefferson and Sessions. I doubt we do this deal but RJ is the exact scorer at the 3 we need. Sessions could back up blake. Doubt it happens.


    3. Knicks. Lee and Robinson. Lee is emerging as the knicks best player so i doubt it. Bayless would lose his spot so again i doubt it.

    4. Wizards. Seasons over. They wanna clear cap. Butler is teh perfect fit. Im sure the blazers wouldnt mind Lue on the bench for obvious reasons lol.


    WILDCARD

    Vince Carter and change from jersey.



    My choice is the bulls

    Or, more likely, it didn't make an impression on me so I don't remember it. :dunno:

    Heinrich and Deng makes sense. D Rose is the future PG of Chicago. Quick also said one of the players the Blazers would get is someone the Blazers have wanted before. It's be public knowledge that KP loves Heinrich for some reason.

    Some people flip out when Rudy is critisized, and I have no idea why. I think ever since early in the year he has been disappointing, but this is what I expected no matter the amount of hype he got... I still remember the people who were saying he will eventually make Roy expendable. Oh well. THe guy will eventually be a really really good player and can be an awesome 6th man for us for years to come if he wants to stay here.

    Anyways, I'm still iffy on Deng. We can probably buy low right now, but i'm worried he won't return to his form of 2 seasons ago and his contract is huge. Hinrich i'm not a fan of really, and I'm fine with a Blake/Bayless rotation, and next year that flipped around. I think Bayless will surpass Hinrich decently soon (probably by the end of next year), but I like Hinrich's ability to play off the ball and his defense... I like it a lot, but also wish he would go back to his old form.

    Thinking about previous targets, Devin Harris and Danny Granger come to mind... 2 players I would trade anyone but our big 3 for. A package of Bayless/Batum (depending who we trade for), Rudy, Outlaw, Joel, cash, 2 1sts and Raef or something like that for one of those 2 and bad contracts... I would do it probably. (I know its not going to happen but I can dream... they are EC players and are previous targets and they each would fit awesome imo)

    nobody has exactly been screaming about him, but i've seen several say his shot selection has been terrible and he should be playing/shooting less.

    restricted FA this summer and the knicks don't want to pay him. he is definitely available.

    Have you ever looked into those dreamy eyes of his? How can you criticize someone with those two liquid pools of sensuality?
