The Latest from Stein: Jeff to PDX? PDX to enter Vinsanity sweepstakes?

Ridnour's contract only runs through next season, so he could be unloaded in the not-too-distant future if he's relegated to the 3rd string. I have a feeling he's got a legit shot of beating out Blake as the starter since he's a more pure point. Maybe he can get the rock to the Oden?

Jefferson had been an offensive beast this month as he's stepped up after Redd went down. He's shown that he can get to the FT line and his 3-point % is also on the rise.

This deal is solid.

 

Not a Jefferson fan at all. VC I don't hate, but there are better options. But I trust KP, If he really like RJeff, then i'm game.

I'd rather go w/ Rudy Gay, Caron Butler, Prince, Jeff Green, Granger (lol), etc... oh and of course Battier.

 

Bake It!

 

some things will never change. Why should ESPN gossip mongers get the facts right when their job is to stir the pot?

If RLEC comes off Portland's cap, they'll still have plenty of flexibility to make major moves next summer. Outside of Josh Childress, that was never likely to be for a FA as most of the desirable options have already resigned. A lopsided trade giving up capspace is the most likely scenario... for a variety of reasons I think it's much more likely then trading RLEC within the next week.

The only way I see them moving Raef is for a Gasol type/no-brainer trade. I'll be shocked if a Butler, Wallace or Prince is moved to some other team for capspace and prospects/picks. In the likely case that the Blazers don't trade RLEC, watch for Stein to write about how no one wants to help out KP because of how the Blazers operate or some nonsense... he'll just be doing his job

STOMP

 

LOL...


That is the MIL trade that Canzano admitted he made up....

Why did he make it up? To show how rapidly a made up trade could travel across the internet\blosphere and become a legimate (oxymoron?) rumour....
