Quick: "Blazers leaning towards standing pat"

In other news: Camby suddenly feels invigorated and wants to play tonight!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

They may send a pick to have us eat an uglier contract. Joel is an expiring deal.

 

I'm not sure where to point the finger at, but Quick intimated that there are some pretty stark stylistic differences between Cho and Paul Allen ... So yes, in short, our front office does suck -- but mostly because it seems like there isn't enough autonomy for personnel guys to do their job.

 

GWallace is the only big name left I'd like to see us take a run at. Although with DWill moving, who the hell knows what might happen?

 

You guys are both smart enough to know that a team isnt going to trade their All Star to a team in their own division.

 

They suck because they couldn't make an offer of Miller better than an offer of Williams? If Cho had managed to pull that one off, he could get a job selling freezers to Eskimos.

 

I didn't realize Deron was even available! I hope Cho did his due diligence and at least gave Utah an offer.

 

I don't have any complaints against the FO for not making a trade at this point. I wanted the Harris deal to get done, but I understand why it didn't. I like our squad and look forward to the 2nd half of the season. The one thing our FO needs to do better is DRAFT! Their draft this past summer was pathetic.

 

28 other front offices must suck also.

 

Deron for Harris and Favors definitely trumps Miller and Przy, but I'm not talking about losing out on a single deal, I'm talking about the mentality of "standing pat" instead of continuing to pursue other options to make this team younger and (once again) letting assets expire with nothing coming back in return (Van Exel, Lafrenz and now Pryz and probably Miller and Camby a year from now).

I think Paul Allen, for all of his virtues of being a free spender, has also gotten a little gun-shy. Maybe it wasn't KP sitting on his hands year after year, maybe it was PA?

 

Gerald Wallace?

As for Biedrins, I've heard Golden State wanting to improve their center position, but nothing really about him being shopped.

 

Are you really gullible enough to take what Quick says as facts? You think Cho turned his phone off and is taking a nap right now?

 

I don't think Cho has turned his phone off, but I think Allen has probably closed the door on trades unless he can get something for nothing.

 

Heh, Cho is living up to the name that I bestowed upon him.

 

RLEC gave the Blazers the cap space to sign Andre Miller, and offer Hedo and also Millsap.

Given today's turn of events, one could say that RLEC improved the Blazers and shattered the foundation and future flexibility of Utah. Improve your own team and set forth the events to cause a division rival to rebuild? I think that's good use of an expiring contract.

 

Chad Ford for just reported the Bobcats want an expiring contract and a protected first-round pick for Wallace. Come on Cho/Vulcans!

 

Chad on the MSP? He knows less than most of us on this board!
