    It will be interesting to see what "future first round pick" means. If it's a pair from 2011, then it makes a lot of sense for the Blazers given (a) it's a weak draft, and (b) those picks almost certainly won't be lottery selections.

    I guess you don't think much of Cho's negotiating skills and salesmanship.

    Bob Whitsitt could get us an allstar for him. Without question.

    Blazers' presser is in 40 minutes. Hopefully we'll get some clarity on the details at that point.

    For me, that trade will go from a low of "steal" to a peak of "are you kidding me, Jordan???", depending on the picks.

    It's NOH's pick from 2011 and our own from 2013

    I think it was reported as the 2013 Blazers 1st rounder and the Hornets 1st rounder this season.

    I saw somewhere they were 2012 and 2013.

    Could easily be lottery without several more moves.

    Shaq would be a better comparison, and then signing Shaq to an extension that crushes the cap.

    If Miami picks up Roy's contract you'd say no?

    You're not thinking clearly.

    why? NO is going to be a tough out getting okafor back and adding landry. they're more likely to finish 5th than 9th or worse in the west.

    and LMA is playing at a level that would elevate even otherwise below average talent to a borderline playoff team (you could say he's been doing exactly that since camby has been out). as long as he stays healthy there is no reason to suspect the team will be falling apart in 2013 no matter what the rest of the team is composed of.

    Come on Maris, stop being so coy. You know this really is your dream scenario. In fact, I would not be surprised if Cho is your puppet and you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.

    So, there you have it. The Maris dream team. Three superstars, all in their prime, surrounded by solid role players! Blazers, NBA Champs in 2013! Book it!!!

    If I ever needed proof that you and Jlprk are the same person, this is it.

    I thought that for years on the ESPN board, Nate. What's weird is that jlprk kept posting on the ESPN board long after everybody else, and MARIS moved to BBF (iirc).

    Either way, when "they" used to have conversations with each other on ESPN, it was pure gold. Now, "they" don't.

    It's strange. FOX Sports and CBS Sportsline called the Bobcats winners as well. Somehow I don't think two picks that will likely be in the high teens or 20s for a player like Crash is really killing it, especially when you have the braintrust that picked AmMo.
