    I don't know. You would think waiting to Monday someone else would break the trade and Wheels would look pretty dumb.

    Monday is a long ways off, so I agree with Tort. Can't be a trade.

    There is a flurry of activity it seems today...and I would disagree on the possibility of it being a trade announcement. If they could not finalize it today, I don't think that most trades are finalized on a weekend. I could be totally wrong on it though. :pimp:

    Unless wheels is part of the trade. Which teams around the league need an expiring contract and an upgrade to their radio play by play? :lol:

    Too many mouths are part of the trade... agents, players, front office people... it never stays a secret very long, so I agree. Not going to be a trade.

    I miss Steve Jones. He called shitty play shitty play. I get awful tired of here Rice complain about the refs when the team is playing horrific defense.

    The last time Wheels had a "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT" it was during the offseason when trade murmurs were at their peak. 95.5 hyped the upcoming announcement for days, and when it came time for the announcement Wheels spoke in a very serious and suspenseful manor and let us in on the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: "Travis Outlaw was training in Portland during the offseason." That was it. That was the huge Blazer secret news they hyped up unbelievably.

    Wheels and 95.5 lost a lot of credibility and respect when that happened. Outside of Jim Rome and Blazer related programs I pretty much can't stand 95.5. 1080 is much higher quality sports talk.

    I take this BIG ANNOUNCEMENT about as seriously as a TRADE COMING SOON thread.

    I just heard it was a major announcement 'involving' Brian Wheeler. So I'm guessing nothing to do with a trade or anything. Maybe he got a new contract? Wasn't his contract up soon?

    Well, if HCP knows, it is probably a broadcasting thingy and not a personel thingy. Plus if it was anything important, I'm sure dick Canzano would hog it for his self loving ass.

    I have some wild guesses:

    1) Wheels got his contract with the Blazers renewed.

    2) Wheels reached his dieting goal.

    3) Wheels's show will be extended to 2 hours.

    4) Blazers have sent an appeal regarding the Miles situation.
