    That's the crazy part of this. Why would Quick publish this unless there was some substance behind it? This is the most mind-boggling news about the Blazers I can remember since the day Oden's MF was announced.

    Seriously, what is going on? Is Pritchard in some sort of meltdown, or is Quick just full of s**t?

    Makes a Roy-for-Paul trade more palatable. Paul WANTS to be here, and he already has a max 5yr extension. :)

    I kid. This is past the point of credibility. I'm with MM and PapaG on this one. If true, however, stand the eff by.

    At the very least, a public announcement needs to be made regarding a 5-year commitment by the team to both players. What the hell is Oden supposed to think if the team is screwing around with Roy?

    I'm just pissed off and irritated right now. I can't believe what I'm hearing. In addition to willing to give Hedo five years, we're preparing a 5-year offer for Paul Millsap, right? And not giving five years to Brandon and LaMarcus? This isn't adding up.

    Yeah, I posted that earlier today, but then, Roy could make that decision and it would be done.

    Quick did say that word on the street is blah blah blah . . . so it sounds like more than speculation because Roy hasn't signed yet.

    No matter what . . . there hasn't been a lot of good news for the Blazers this summer so far.

    Maybe he doesn't feel Roy is worth the money, after all if he doesn't offer it to him then it must be true? remember, we're not KP, we're fans...we don't know what his plans are!

    This wouldn't be the first article he's published that turned out to be totally wrong.

    Take a step back and think about it for a second. It's dangerous to be emotionally tied to everything you read on the internet.

    It may be delayed until Portland finishes it's dealings on the free agent market, for procedural/clerical reasons.

    What the fuck is going on here? KP is starting to piss me off..you do what Roy wants, this should have been the easiest thing he has ever had to do. He fucks this up, he is dead to me as the GM of the Blazers.

    Honestly, the only explanations I can come up with are:

    1 - Article is wrong.

    2 - Losing Hedo also resulted in KP LOSING HIS FRICKING MIND.

    True, but Quick actually does have some insight and access to the players. I'm wondering who has the agent that played him at this point. This is "lose your locker room pass" type of stuff to put in print.

    This makes less sense than signing a deal with comcrap being making sure everyone can view the games on TV.

    Yes, Turk is the kind of transformative superstar that can make people go insane. :)

    One vote for incorrect/incomplete report.

    I'm with you on this, PapaG. The 180 Quick's pulled here on KP is unprecedented and dangerous to believe from a "Trenton Hassell is signed" and "Iavoroni's the coach" kind of reporter.
