    Okay, so in relation to everybody else you get a "C" (anxious, but not falling apart)

    C

    I made a small voodoo shrine and lit a candle for Gerald Wallace before work this morning. Other than that (and feeling frustrated that my girl isn't nearly as interested in talking trade scenarios as I am) I'm doing fine!

    I think I have reached "E"....sad resignation.

    Or, as an old co-worker used to say: "I'm busted, disgusted, and not to be trusted. It could only be worse if my peter was rusted!"

    Wow, there are a lot of people freaking out. I'm surprised.

    I'm a little nervous at this point. If we don't make a trade I'll be disappointed but I doubt I'll be angry.

    A:

    Interested in what might happen. Checking often. Not worried if we don't make a deal.

    Why?

    No matter who we bring in, we aren't winning a title this season. I don't mind if the Blazers take a gamble and try to push their luck at the trade deadline. They still have options this summer.

    I am cool with rolling the dice right now trying to get an extra good deal. Because if they come up snake eyes, we aren't busted. Still have some cap space this summer, still have Outlaw, Sergio, Bayless, Batum, Rudy, Joel, Blake, TE, Picks and Allen's pocketbook to work with.

    Let us say the best options this summer rate up to a 7 on the impact scale.

    Let us say the deals the Blazers could make now rate a 6. The Blazers are trying to squeeze out an 8. They are gambling a 6 in the bag, to try to extract an 8. If they lose, they can try for a 6 or 7 this summer.

    I am cool with that strategy.

    Let's be real here - it is not like we are grinding on a deal for Deron Williams or something. This is an old, but still good Carter, a not really that good anymore Jefferson, and a brittle Gerald Wallace. Thus, ok to play chicken with them.
