    And they just said that we had a deal in place in place 2 years ago to get Devin Harris but we did not want to give up Travis Outlaw.

    Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    They did not mention anything but that, but they kicker of the deal was we did not want to give up Travis.

    Wow, wow again.

    Old news. At the time I remember people like Tony Kornheiser saying it would be a bad deal for the Blazers.

    Do you recall what the deal was? Couldn't be anyone much better than Outlaw, since he was the kicker.

    IIRC it was the Kidd trade...with Harris coming here, Jack and Outlaw going out.

    Found it;

    I'm very doubtful that that deal was ever on the table for Portland, do the "Talkin' Ball" guys have any inside info or are they just talking crap?

    sports writers trade rumors in their columns and talk shows to the point they pick up a familiar legitimacy. GMs have no reason to ever tell them the real dirt... at best they're getting BS floated by agents trying to give their clients the impression they're doing something. But the basketball consumer wants their rumors, so somebody's got to supply that demand.

    Did any sports columnist speculate on one one of the big deals that just went down a day or two in advance?

    Yeah, it was only reported by ESPN, Hoopsworld quoting Big Apple Sports, Yardbarker. But the Talkin' Ball clowns must've made it all up.

    There is not one chance Portland turned down that offer because of Outlaw.

    Not one.

    I have been disappointed in KP for the last year and half or so, but I can't imagine he wouldn't pull the trigger on this kind of a deal.

    At least, I don't want to live in a world where our GM believes Outlaw + Jack has more value then Devin Harris. I just don't.
