    I would like to be there too, but maybe KP won't be up for it given all the crap and doubt he has taken in the last few weeks.

    Most of it is undeserved, but offering Roy 4 years when Hedo F**KING Turkoglu got 5 years is a disaster. Start at 5 years with Roy at a lower amount than the max if you want to "negotiate". Taking a year away from him is simply absurd and makes almost no sense.

    I'm working with Jim Taylor of the Blazers. For now, we're waiting until the dust somewhat settles on all of KP's flurry of activity.

    I'm guessing that the M & G will be sometime near October again this year.

    Stay tuned. I'm on it. :)

    You're sure about these terms? Where did you see them? I'm pretty sure that nobody outside the negotiating parties have seen the terms yet. We don't know what the sticking points are yet.

    Not a direct quote about the years, but a direct quote about Roy being "frustrated", and neither Roy's agent nor the team are denying this, and it's been in print twice now.

    Statements which benefit his side of the negotiation and generate sympathy for his client. He played it correctly.

    KP would have no business being a GM if he gave every agent what they want for their first offer. I don't care who the player is.

    Isn't Alba a L@ker fan?

    I imagine that this would be a lot like what the Get together would look like in here

    It's been in print twice, and with Roy's agent attached to it the second time. \

    Why would Brandon sign at this point? Lots of suitors next summer, he's an RFA, so he'll get his 5-year max from either another team or the Blazers if they match. What the hell is Portland thinking right now?

    Roy holds the leverage. He'll get a 5 year max from somebody as an RFA next summer. I'd even consider forcing a trade to a team that will treat him right this summer so he can sign before October 31st.

    If this meet & greet happens, I hope it gets taped and put online. It sounds like it will be hilarious.
