    Deadline in 19 hours

    If all our players are dressing tonight, all our deals are probably dead. Disappointing but not so horrible. As currently constructed, we're the hottest team in the NBA and 5th in the West.

    I think Kevin Martin last year was traded during the middle of a game. They pulled him immediately.

    Only in the double digits. When we are under 10 hours - the pace would increase to every 15 minutes.

    Why would them dressing have anything to do with them being traded? Couldn't they make a trade after the game or tomorrow!

    He is hoping that after then next CBA all trades will be announced in press conferences where the new acquired players are nekkid.

    Well maybe they'd dress, but if a trade was definitely imminent, they would hold out the guys involved. Why would those guys play hard for us if they know they're gone? I hate that we're doing this when we're hot and playing the Lakers.

    You mean 20 hours until all the Blazer fans find out the Wallace deal is dead?

    How would they know they're gone before a deal happens? This doesn't really make sense..

    They know. They work there. They're a little more in the know than us. They've read what we've read and they asked questions.

    Posted in other thread:

    Jason Quick on 95.5-FM: "There's been a lot of uneasy clients here.... Marcus Camby wants to know what's going on."

    See? They're asking. What a mess. We beat Lakers then make big trade? Ugh. Wrong night for trade. Sucks.

    So, if any of our players come out naked, they're being traded?

    Given that the west just got a lot weaker I would think Cho is seriously re-thinking a blow up and rebuild. The west is turning into the east of the last decade. Two old contenders at the top and one or two other good teams and the rest are pretty much just bye weeks destined to be swept in the first round of the playoffs.

    Whatever shitty west team plays their cards right over the next two years is going to run things out west while the newly formed eastern powers beat the piss out of one another.

    My wife would love that! Considering Joel and Rudy are involved in trade rumors.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This is clearly some of the greatest adversity they've faced in their young lives. Hopefully this ordeal will make them mentally tougher so that they can draw on that to win a game 7 in the Finals.

    Two compete two years from now, you need a PG that's not in the AARP. I'm not convinced the scouts for the organization are any good at evaluating PGs from their decisions in the draft the last few years. I really would like to see the team offer a reasonable trade for a legit, young PG so we can start the process of contending now and two years down the line.

    The Blazers are taking the "wait and see" approach all the way to another unceremonious kick to the balls in the playoffs.
