    I hate misleading thread titles. Someone has to crack down on that. This thread should've been titled "Why I think the Blazers will match."

    "Nicholas would have more value (to us) than anything they can offer in sign and trade"

    "a lot of it (talk about signing players - i.e. the Wolves) is just banter"

    Good discussion of why the Blazers didn't sign Hibbert to a sheet. Basically maintaining goodwill with Donnie Walsh and David Falk.

    I just hope Nidaye doesn't talk Nicolas into something stupid like taking the QO just out of spite.

    Classy move.

    The anti-Ndiaye.

    Would that be so bad? His value would be pretty high because suddenly he would be a bargain. And we'd have a year to convince him that this system works for him, to discover that Rubio's knee injury was career ending and to fire his fucking agent.

    I suppose. I just have a feeling that the well is getting kind of poisoned and that it's all going to end rather badly.

    Jerry Zgoda: Ric Bucher reports Wolves-Blazers discussing 2 firsts and "veteran SF" from third team for Batum. So is that where Kyle Korver fits? about 11 minutes ago

    Minne says they will drive the price higher if we don't accept a deal.

    Cool.

    Cut and amnesty your players. And then we match, hopefully (unless we get a good deal).
