    I think it's under KP's reign. Brian Grant was Trader Bob.

    Rod Strickland is before my time. And BG? Was he really as big as Turk?

    Artest could have gotten more. But a championship ring is worth more than money for some.

    I hope Hedo has five years left in him, but I'm all for this move. We're going to be a much better team next season. Three legit scoring options in this league, along with a developing monster in Greg. Go Blazers!

    And your reasoning is...? Yeah, I didn't think you had any. Batum is still likely to get the same time this year as last year. Now, you give Outlaw's minutes to Turkey. Turkey = upgrade over Outlaw, or any other small forward on our roster. Yet, we will have fewer losses this upcoming season? How so? Give some fucking reasoning.

    Turkey to Blazers = more flaming, bitching fans a la mixum.

    Hell, you take Turkey away from Orlando last season, and that's one more win for Portland.

    To commemorate the lame comment, I will end with one more lame comment, a currently common cliche: You fail!

    We now have easily the biggest frontline in the NBA - we will OWN the boards!

    Too bad.

    Brittle bones, no defense and awesome 40% fg.

    Congrats Portland!

    Experts believe the cap likely will be somewhere between $57 million and $59 million. If the cap number comes in at the high end, the Blazers can offer close to what Turkoglu is hoping for.

    Waste of $$.

    Re: Hedo and Blazers Agree

    Not a bad move, considering he was probably the best player we could have gotten as a Free Agent.

    If we can landa PG, I will officially call this offseason a super success. As of right now, i'm happy, but not satisfied.

    Portland's lineup will consist of at least Roy, Turkey, LA, and Oden. Fill in the 5th spot depending on the situation/need with anyone, whether Batum for defense and length, Rudy for scoring, Blake for whatever he does (??), Webster for outside shooting.

    Re: Hedo and Blazers Agree

    I don't LOVE the signing personally, but your post is wrong on a bunch of levels so I'll respond.

    Brittle bones: Hedo has missed 18 games in 4 years. Fewer than Greg Oden, Lamarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy have missed in the last 3 years.

    No defense: His career defensive rating of 104 would have tied Greg Oden for 2nd on our team last season, only trailing Joel Przybilla.

    40% fg shooting: Nice exaggeration. His career average is closer to 45% than it is to 40%, so we can all exaggerate and fudge numbers. He's a decent shooter at worst.

    Waste of money: well...all NBA players are overpaid, so I can't argue with that TOO much. But who is out there that would have been a better signing? Turkoglu is probably the best option at one of our positions of need. I think it's an okay signing.

    i am honestly ok with 3 times the ppg for 4% less accuracy, based on the times that we lost the game by 1 or 2 points, the fail at next season by less scoring than Batum equation seems flawed in pretty much every way.
