    No there is two days before the trading deadline is here. Most trades or at least a lot of trades usually happens the last day just before the deadline. I'm not saying we are making a trade but because there isn't a trade already means nothing. There hasn't been many trades so far what 2-3. I'm guessing there will be at least 10+ more trades before the deadline.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Why? If Pritchard is truly in the cat bird seat, it makes all the sense in the world to let desperate teams bid up against the deadline and then pick the best one.

    Exactly. Someone is bound to get desperate and go into cost-cutting mode the day of the deadline.

    yep it only makes sense to wait till the last possible moment. right now he is probably creating a bunch of "deals" and when trade deadline comes he'll choose which "deal" he likes the best.

    Anyone listening to 95.5 right now? During the commercial recap they said the potential deal between the Blazers and the Bobcats are dead.

    So does this make it more likely that we are actually going after Wallace and this is released as a bargaining move?

    Re: Chad Ford: Blazers trade talks

    I just came. Thank god for Paul Allen.

    This also marks the first time in history the two sentences above have been written together.

    Do you like purposely misinterpreting rumors?

    Salmons to Knicks is being TALKED ABOUT. Carter to Houston is being TALKED ABOUT. Just like Jefferson and Butler to Portland is being TALKED ABOUT. Nothing has happened yet.

    If he is. You can play the what if game all day long. You can also look at it that if a good deal is on the table, and if you wait to long, maybe the other side will rethink it and back out. If the deal was there, it would have been done by now, so I assume it is not there.

    Isn't the game owned by the Blazers? I would not be surprised if the game says whatever KP wants them to say.

    I'm not saying he is or isn't, just that the lack of a deal doesn't mean one isn't available or happening. Trades are often consummated close to the deadline, especially more complicated ones.

    Reports have it that KP has options and that RLEC is a very sought-after asset. That would be consistent with Pritchard waiting as close to the deadline as possible

    Why is it that we aren't allowed to bash posters like Mixum while he constanly types trash like this and bashes our GM for no fucking reason. Your posts are getting really fucking old.

    Public figures, like players, GMs, owners, etc, are fair game. Posters are not. If you don't like what he posts, ignore him.

    You have no idea what's being said in the discussions so you have no room to judge.

    KP will make the right choice.
