Re: Ruffin to Portland I'm not 100% sure, but I am reasonably so: http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#Q69 (Emphasis added.) Ed...
Re: Ruffin to Portland Actually, this is a pretty good point... we save money and we are able to immediately open up another spot. We could...
I think if Sergio or Outlaw are dealt, there will be a very bimodal response... some people are pretty invested in rooting for or against each of...
Re: Ruffin to Portland Getting a trade exception doesn't do us much good as part of a bigger deal... they can't be combined or packaged with...
Re: Ruffin to Portland The initial report isn't correct, I don't believe. Ruffin CANNOT be packaged with others for two months. He needs to be...
Re: Ruffin to Portland No... since both are expiring contracts, and presumably Ike would have been renounced, our cap situation should be the...
Re: Ruffin to Portland Oops. Nope. I must have low blood sugar level. Let me edit it. :) Ed O.
I'm not sure that's accurate (either that they are, or that they could be called that; I always liked cpawfan, personally), but are they posters here...

Re: Ruffin to Portland We send out more than we receive. That's how trade exceptions are created. The two ways they can be made are: 1....
Re: Ruffin to Portland Yeah I don't see how or why that would work as a straight-across deal. I am thinking it's a glitch in the Trade Machine on...
Re: Ruffin to Portland OK! Now it makes some sense. The Blazers save money, presumably, by sending Diogu to Sacramento, even if they send...
Re: Ruffin to Portland OK. So Ruffin for Ike doesn't work. Is it true that trade exceptions cannot be bundled together? So the Bulls have to be...
I think it'd be great to have 20+ other teams forums just as active as ours... there would be more great cross-posting opps with Bulls and Kings fans...
Yep. Ed O.
So you're saying a team can win with terrible chemistry? Why should we worry about terrible chemistry, then? Is the object of NBA games to win or...
Chemistry comes from winning. It doesn't lead to it. If the Blazers are able to get a better player by shipping Outlaw out, the team should win...
They should have had moderators that were more mature in charge. That would have taken friendly advice from people that had much more experience than...
