    I agree 100%. The longer you wait toward the deadline, the better deals will show up as desperation sets in. The Blazer's are not desperate. They got the chips in their corner. KP's made statements saying that he doesn't feel pressure to make deals that don't coincide with the goals of this team. So that doesn't mean he's won't make deals. It means he gets to be selective and wait till he's seen all offers and he'll do whats best for the franchise.

    Even with PA being one of the richest owner in sports I can't see him taking that much in contracts with having to sign Oden, Roy and LMA to max or very big contracts. Sounds good on paper but isn't going to happen.

    Hmm... VERY tempting actually... their 1st rounder next year AND Caron Butler without giving up our big 3? We may try for Hardin or Griffon and turn LMA into a Devin Harris? IDK... but food for thought I guess. Tempting offer, I don't think PA would bite... too much coming back in Thomas and Arenas.

    Screw it. I saw go for that one if we can get it done. That is a lot of assets coming back this way. Serious talent. Plus, what could well end up being the number one pick in the draft. Look what that does to our roster.....
