    Besides the apparent reality that Dwight Jaynes is still better sourced than Jason Quick ...

    Dead deals can come back from the dead.
    Deals can happen at literally the last second.
    The Front Office can make deals happen.
    Michael Jordan is as good a front-office guy as he was a baseball player.

    To be fair, do any beat writers break trades? It seems to be the well-connected guys who cover the entire NBA.

    Well we learned that whenever Jason Quick says something, you can expect the opposite to happen....

    That seems to become more true as time goes on....

    Internet forum culture encourages swift and brutal overreaction consistently.

    Given the number of goofy rants you were making this morning that turned out to be totally incorrect, I think I'd advise you not to call out another poster on the board as being wrong about something.

    Vance and Jaynes were out in front as far as the Blazers' interest in Wallace went. Jaynes was waaaay premature in saying it was close to being done. This thing was close, then dead, then resuscitated at the last moment.

    Jaynes said it was done yesterday. It was far from it. Jaynes has contacts, but he is still a heck. He is just a heck with contacts. And pepperoni.

    Bert Kolde has been relegated to the PA Blazer doghouse for the 543rd time in his life.

    There is always the Seahawks, Dert!

    MM believes it was Hat Guy who closed when Cho couldn't... either him or Larry. Anyone but Cho. Because that would mean changing his opinion on something.

    Just going by media reports that said PA and his crew were leading the way today. A lot got done yesterday that trumped Portland, and today, after the report, things got done. I simply don't think it was a coincidence. I also don't think trading two firsts fits Cho's idea of stockpiling draft picks.

    There's a reason why you stockpile draft picks, to nab an ALL-STAR!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He went through the same verbal gymnastics when confronted with that fact that McMillan changed the team's style of play to reflect the Aldridge-centered team. Claimed that, actually, it wasn't McMillan, it was probably his assistants or something. I guess it beats just admitting being wrong.

    Stockpiling firsts in order to use them to get a valuable player is in no way contradictory to anything Cho has said.
