Re: Now what? i.e. Free Agency I will give you all this much. IF we can sign Gordon, and IF he stays healthy, and IF we can get a center, and IF we can retain Batum, this team will be pretty damn good next year
Re: Now what? i.e. Free Agency IF I was a rich man..dee dee dee de and Steven Tyler singin "Dream on...." in da background
Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency nuttin "Free" about it! too many guys with monopoly money it appears
Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency does Morey's recent draft and the Howard play and now Asik smack of desperation?
Re: Now what? i.e. Free Agency No. It won't. Clock starts no earlier than the 11th. Teams can meet, negotiate, and even agree to terms during the 10 day moratorium, but NOTHING--including RFA offer sheets--can actually be signed until 12:01 on 7/11. We will have until 7/14, minimum, to match whatever offer Nic's @$$hole agent gets him.
Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency Have a feeling little will come out of FA for the Blazers when it's all said and done
Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA After Houston tonight, Blazers GM Neil Olshey will meet with Chicago center Omer Asik and make him an offer, sources tell Y! Sports.
Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency Hopefully, the only thing Olshey offers him is a plane ticket back to Houston.
Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency I like it just as long as it's not a dumb offer. A defensive minded center and a stopgap until Leonard is ready for prime time.
