    but not for Bosh:

    # The Raptors have had serious talks today with the Portland TrailBlazers about a deal that would send the 22nd pick and Rudy Fernandez to Toronto for the 13th pick. The Blazers have been very aggressive about getting up into the lottery, but have been reluctant to part with both Fernandez and the 22nd pick to do it.



    That is shitty as fuck IMO.

    Agree. Rudy's not worth 9 spots in a draft with so many players between 7 and 25 that are the same level

    For who? I am amazed Toronto didn't laugh the offer off the table.

    Except CP3 ain't happening. It's NOT HAPPENING. Not happening. We are not getting CP3. Chris Paul is not coming to Portland. Portland isn't getting CP3. Not gonna happen. It's not happening. It just isn't going to happen.

    I hope that's clear enough.

    I don't really think Rudy has a future in Portland and I would HOPE we could get more than moving up 9 spots for him, but... it wouldn't be the end of the world.

    It's clear to all except those who think we can trade Bayless for Howard and Rudy for LaBron. How those people get here I'll never know.

    I just wish we'd traded him last summer.

    Moving up 9 spots isn't much. Hopefully we can get more, but I'll understand if we can't. Not a lot of teams want in on The Rudy Fernandez Sweepstakes.

    Maybe Marco Bellinelli comes back in the deal?

    Not really a fan of this deal...

    and now it appears OKC is trying to get the #10 from IND for #18, #12 and Maynor....Wonder if POR\OKC are chasing the same player?

    Hey homers, be happy we get ANYTHING for Rudy. Apparently they don't have DirecTV in Canada or they wouldn't have offered anything if they caught his act in the playoffs.

    Moving to 13 is highway robbery for the Blazers.
