    "I'd love to play with you in Portland, as long as I get paid the max."

    I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Turn in your Blazer fandom card. Don't ever mention that rapist fuck and our team in the same sentence ever again.

    The only thing Kobe ever raped was our defense and title chances.

    I see this thread taking a new detour.... by the way, you ever read the statement that Kobe gave to police?? not very exonerating...

    This might be the one move that would make me turn in my fan card and start watching figure skating.

    Ain't no way Kyrie will take a qualifying offer when he's offered a max. I could see him asking for an early opt out like Bron/Deron etc, but he's not gonna pass up all that guaranteed money. Especially with his injury history.

    So in short, he isn't leaving CLE for a while.

    Never said I wanted him on my team. But it wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to land here. I'm sure he has heard a lot about this town (fan base), organization, owner by someone he really respects in Steve Blake. That and you wonder if there are any connections there from McGowan and Olshey. That being said, he has a no trade clause and I really doubt the Busses will let him go.

    It's great that players want to play here, but we got no cap room until possibly 2015

    Bryant is going to be paid $48.5 million over the next two seasons after this one. It's the dumbest contract in sports right now, considering the salary cap restrictions on player movement. Why would anyone take on that contract?

    You can't amnesty an extension signed after the last CBA.

    It's the dumbest contract in sports, bar none.

    Yeah, I think you'd have a hard time finding someone who disagrees with you.

    Not only why, but how? If Kobe wanted to come here for the exception and win a ring, I might consider it. It would make no sense to decimate our team to acquire his ridiculous contract.
