    This douchebag was essentially the reason why we didn't get a top-tier FA this offseason. Fuck you and fuck your second-rate franchise.

    Ironically, it could be Chris Wallace who saved us from grossly overpaying Hedo.

    Sorry, this is all KP.

    The Blazers mishandled the Miles situation, for some reason, refused to use RLEC at the deadline, refused to renounce Blake and Outlaw to give us an extra 7.6 million in cap space. They are nice role players, but that's all they are.

    Negative post count: +1

    Missing out on Hedo is on him just as much as the 40+ win turn around is on him.

    Who would we bring in with more cap space?

    There's no FA this year who's worth $15+ million/year anyways.

    Not sure there was any top-tier FA this offseason.

    May every possible injury and misfortune strike the Grizz.....and may Wallace be retained long enough to suffer through every one of them. May the man pray for death long before he is granted its' sweet release.

    Not this time.

    Everything I said was fact, not negativity. You just need to come to grips with the fact that KP blew it.

    Fact and negative can go together. You are quick to point out the negative facts, but rarely post about the positive facts. Why is that?

    If you read my post, I agreed with you that KP blew getting Hedo.

    I have said many times that I think KP is an incredible judge of talent. He has done wonders getting players like Roy, Aldridge, Rudy and Bayless. I don't include Oden because it was pick #1.

    What KP has never done is add a vet by subtracting some of his guys. I think he is too attached to them, and is all but affraid to make a deal.

    Hopefully that changes in the next few days.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    How? You mean The E-Mail? Or do you mean something that actually has an effect on the franchise?

    Refusing to make a deal that the team doesn't think helps them isn't a bad thing.

    To do what with? Add $7.6 million to the Turkoglu offer? Max the guy out, because anything, even something stupid, is better than nothing.

    All good points. I think if you showed a little more balance in your posts, you wouldn't come across as one of those glass half-empty type guys.

    If KP is such a good judge of talent in the draft, maybe we need to keep building our team that way. We should use his strengths not his weaknesses.

    Stupid question:

    Since Miles's contract is coming off the books 2010 ... can it be traded away as an expiring contract? Or did all of the medical retirement BS make that impossible?

    When he was waived his contract was the responsibility--but not property--of the Blazers.

    We can't trade what we don't have. :(

    I don't think there was a top-tier FA available this year. But it still sucks we don't have that extra space.
