    Well KP, you have done well. I am a huge Blazers fan that follows the team and all info even remotely related the the Blazers and now I officially have absolutely no idea what you are going to do with this team in the draft, FA or by trade. In fact there are so many rumor and ideas out there that Im not even completely sure what I want anymore (almost like all the ice cream choices at Baskin Robbins). Hopefully the rest of the league feels the same way and what you guys are shooting for falls right into your lap. The term in "KP I Trust" is often thrown around here but I truly have no choice to feel that way at this point.

    Bravo KP! Bravo!

    Well the biggest thing is keeping the core of Webster/Outlaw/Batum. Sounds like KP doesn't want to get rid any of those 3.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If you want to keep what you're planning to do a mystery, you have two basic options: stay completely silent and say/do nothing until it's time to attempt your maneuvers or be overly active, saying and doing lots of things, only a little of which is related to your true plans.

    I'm guessing the second is what Pritchard is doing and it's smart. It allows him to investigate what he wants to do and get information, but without tipping his hand because no one knows which avenue is his real one. Doing the first option also keeps things a mystery, but you're unable to collect information and figure out the likelihoods/costs of what you want.

    So, I'd guess that one of the rumours we've heard may be semi-legitimate. But which one?

    The poker analogy rings so true here. Slow-playing or bluffing.

    Ricky Rubio has to be the true target. He's got Pritchard written all over him.

    im much more interested in your guys draft than the Lakers since yours could actually have an impact...I think Patty Mills, the PG from Austrailia, is the Lakers big hope :sigh:

    Uh, did you read today's paper? One of them will be gone. From the sounds of it, probably Travis.

    I think he was kidding, since having a "core" of three players at the same position when we have at least three superior players elsewhere would be a weird core, indeed.
