I just got a hunch about this. No info. No link nadda. I feel this deserves it's thread post. It's pure, triple distilled opinion which as we know is rare around these parts. I'm just so damn proud to write speculation in a manner so as to appear that it is fact. Honestly though, I don't know what is more frustrating right now. The constant faux facts floating around about the PA/KP/Vulcan/POS Agent/New GM drama or the chicken little-ism running absolutely wild in this forum. If Bosh and LeBron join forces we're probably fucked unless Stern's alter-ego murders him and and wipes out the Cosa Nostra in New York single handedly. Cause that's what it would take for us to win a ring in that environment. The ship has sailed on a ring unless Stern goes. That ship sailed in the 1980's by the way and anyone who's watched post-referee union NBA basketball knows it's truth. So then lets be thankful we aren't in the Jail Blazer era and start talking about players to target. No we don't need a GM right at this EXACT moment in order to speculate as fans. Seriously ya'll lets get over the pity party / bitterfest and start talking about real and likely outcomes like a BoomShakaLaka trade idea. After all if we had our druthers he would be the next GM of the Blazers because I don't know anyone else who can pull of the kind of (imaginary) trades Boom brings to the table. His imaginary trades KICK ASS on KP's imaginary trades am I right?
There is as much chance of this happening as there is of the NBA changing their logo to KP "PritchSlappin" people!
Just bring us some offense! A true scorer! Add such a player at the PG or PF position to compliment Batum, relieve double-teams on Roy, and then hope like he'll Oden comes back and Camby stays healthy and contributes (against his former teams!) and we'll have vastly improved this team. My only other wish would be for a banger to come off the bench. I like Dirk, Parker, of course I like CP3 (but we won't land him)...and Amare might be an option if Dirk and Parker don't come here. My top FA remains Bosh, but unfortunately, it sounds like he wants to ride Lebron's cape.
I've got this weird feeling ... it's way down low http://www.fart-sounds.net/fire_farter.htm Nevermind, it's gone now.
This post was in response to the Ferry the next GM of Portland thread as though it was fact. Also I didn't think personal insults were acceptable on this forum.
