    Where is Rasta? What about Barbanovich? Isn't he still available? Fits our age and on the upside?

    It clearly points to the fact that he's horrible, sucks, will get fired, Dami(e)n and CJ will demand to be traded AND they're moving to seattle.

    Boban is almost 28 so he isnt that young. Hes a restricted free agent of the spurs so they could match.

    I think they would need to renounce him to sign Pau, so we might be able to get him. At least one person on this forum would be happy.

    28 is close to fitting in though. 3 years older? NOt bad. But the RFA thing... yeah.. Would be a good fit though, no?

    Gasol is not coming to Portland. If he wanted to come here, he would've accepted the offer already.

    And at this point, how well is he welcomed? Ohh... okay.. Turned your back on our offer until you realized we were all you could get, so you begrudgingly signed it for lack of better options?.. meh. For the money that contract will be for, I dont think that will go over very well in the locker room. I like him for the right money, but as every second ticks, I like him less and less regardless of the money.

    That's probably already happened. No way are they just sitting around waiting on him.

    If gasol hasn't signed, he's not coming IMO. We would be better off signing all our restricted players and trading for an okafor or Noel type player anyway. This teams needs young bigs who can actually play, not washed up has beens.

    I'm all about giving Philly a call at this point to see about Okafor or Noel. Too bad I have zero confidence in Neil actually doing this.
