    New York: "We'd like Ray Felton and Kurt Thomas. Who do you want?"

    Olshey: "I'll take a 2nd round pick, Jeffries as cap filler and the most difficult names to spell on your roster. Thanks."

    I don't think any of these players will ever don a uniform, except for Jeffries, who will wear a suit most games. This was a trade to gain assets for future deals.

    The deal involved a "protected 2nd round pick" . . . I found that part funny.

    Wish Kurt wanted to stay and mentor, but overall Blazers got something for Felton and Thomas, which I don't think any of us were expecting.

    Haha, yeah, Felton was a casualty of doughnut addiction, but then again so were Khalid El-Amin, Mateen Cleaves, and countless other players, including Felton's old college teammate, Sean May. Props to Felton to being a fat man, but at the same time being a semi-productive fat man.

    On the Baker and Kemp subject though, they both had problems, but I honeslty beleive that if there were no lockout, those problems would have taken longer to manifest, especially with Baker. An alcohol "problem" for Baker is only a "problem" if it's impeding his play, and before the lockout, it wasn't.

    Right after the lockout, Baker's weight sky-rocketed and his productivity plummeted. There's no doubt that he drank a lot before the lockout, but the lockout just gave him an extended period of time to do nothing but party with money and without responsibility.

    With that said, I'm surprised the most recent lockout didn't claim more victims. I was expecting Zach Randolph, in particular, to become a victim. As Blazers fans, I don't need to tell you about Zach Randolph's background, so you can understand how I was expecting him to go the way of Vin Baker. Unfortunately, he got hurt at the start of the season, but fortunately, he looked great in the playoffs, besting Griffin when given the chance.

    I'm just surprised there weren't more "lockout casualties" this time around, because that seemed to be a more realistic thing in '99. Maybe that's something that will take several years perspective to see though.
