    An Achilles tear takes forever to come back from, so I don't think Kobe is going to be much of a contributor unless he's got some bionic parts he can get from his German doctors, as for the rest of that old-assed team, I don't see how they can stay healthy enough to play the long minutes needed to be relevant.

    I'd do that trade every day and twice on Sunday if it got us a top 5 pick every time.

    Seems like there might be some backdoor money swapping here. I bet Kirilenko doesnt lose a dime. Russian endorsements perhaps? Or could be a strait up bribe.

    Cause they kidnapped his children and wouldn't give them back until he signed.

    #Blazers did reach agreement w/ Spurs C Tiago Splitter -- 4yrs, $36M. When became apparent SA would match, sides agreed not to go further.

    We didn't want a repeat of last year. But basically did have one.

    I'm guessing there is already a bank account set up somewhere in Switzerland or Russia...

    Am I the only one happy this didn't happen? I'd rather have Lopez and bench help than Splitter.

    Interesting! I endorse that move! So now when Hibbert plays Splitter we'll have two reasons to think what might have been.

    So glad we didn't get Splitter. Dude was atrocious in the finals. Guys at 8 million per year need to play well in all of the playoffs. Not play like absolute dog shit when it matters most.

    Wow, I was right. I pat myself on the back. I said that would be our first target.

    I'm not sure, I like splitter more, but I also like that we have a bench, and I really do like Lopez too.

    Splitter's older than LMA, though. I have a hard time buying this rumor. Why spend almost all of the cap space on a 'center' who really is better as a PF, and plays PF in San Antonio, mostly?

    With Farmar and Vujacic coming back, I like their odds to win the 2008 NBA Championship.
