    Well it may just have been down if the Game is accurate in reporting that the Wallace talks are dead... :(

    I think I would be much mroe sad if we ended up trading for someone like Jefferson than if we just didn't trade at all.

    How accurate does The Game tend to be, in its reporting of things that haven't been announced?

    I think Jefferson would be a good starting SF for the Blazers. I'm not as high on Wallace as some and wouldn't be that much more excited with Wallace then RJ. I still would like Butler by far the best but doubt we can make a trade for him. I think a Jefferson or Salmons is the best we can hope to get at SF. You never know until the deadline passes and if GM's want the Rlec we still might get an great offer.

    Not sure. Its owned by Paul Allen... has some Blazer employees workin' for it, and the Blazers are its #1 priority followed by Duck football. With all that said, IDK how accurate their info is, hasn't been a station all that long to build a reputation, imo.

    Oh Lord Jesus I hope not. Caron/Wallace or BUST IMO!!! (and by bust I mean wait until the off-season)

    Well, I'd be surprised if a Wallace deal has shut down prior to Wallace playing his first game back from injury...unless bad news about his health was just recently received.

    I guess we'll see.

    BeerBoy reported in another thread he just heard the Game say that. The game is a radio station though, so its tough to get a link i'd think.

    My guess would be that The Game will be the first to report any trade news here in PDX. They have the inside scoop and they'll want to build a reputation as the best place to get Trail Blazer news.

    I guess I voted to early. I voted 75-99% but if I was voting right now I would vote 25-50% with 25% being what I really think is the odds of a trade. I'm not upset if we don't make a trade but it did get exciting thinking we were after so many different good players. I still want Butler but I think that is almost impossible right now. I like Lee but it sounds like we would have to take Curry's contract and I wouldn't want KP to do that. Right now I think Salmons wouldn't be that bad if we could get him cheap: Frye + Ike. I hate to say it but I sort of agree with Mixum and RJ would be our best chance at a trade right now.

    seeing anyone write bake it is as bad as watching batum miss countless wide open threes. WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE BAKING???

    Problem is our GM overvalues his players waaaaaay too much. Its insane cause othe rthen a few.... he isnt losing anything.

    Our chances of a trade have taken a massive hit with wallace and butler not being moved.

    I think its RJ or nothing for us at this point.
