Yeah uuuhhhh Sean... the Blazers uuuuhhhhh..... how can I say this.... uhhhhhh the Blazers didn't didn't make...uuuuuuuhhhhh trade.
Look forward to seeing Quick bring up Danny Granger's name again and how close we were to getting him.
I could not conceivably care less. Quick has been useless for the last week or so, and he has yet to present me with any information I don't get from here or other boards/blogs/etc. We have the baddest trade chip on the block, one of the more creative GM teams in the League, and lots of young talent...and he can't even give Canzano-esque updates through the day? Yeah. No thanks.
KP was scared to make a move. KP was asking WAY too much for all star type players. Bayless will never play again as a Blazer because Nate prefers two guards who can't penetrate or create fouls. They love Travis' D. Webster will be the next Glen Rice. That is what Quick will say
Yes but Bayless is untouchable. It is important we sit him on the bench, so nobody knows how good he is. It is also important during that time, we keep him from other teams. It makes complete sense doesn't it? You have to keep those guards in the game who pass up layins so they can throw it out to the 3 point line for a bad percentage shot, the long rebound that leads to opponent transition buckets, making the game a lot harder than it should be. I mean, we can't make this...easy.
You can always tell what a Quick Chat is going to be like by the length and depth of his sigh after he's introduced by the moderator.
You'll have to wait til' Sunday according to him if you want the big news on stuff...."We have to sell papers"
Quick mentioned there was a deal that would've netted us Hinrich and Deng, and KP turned it down? Anyone else hear this and know who we would've given up?
Quick is the least informed beat writer in the country. Has he ever broken a story? Marc Iavaroni anyone?
Probably Aldridge and Raef and a 1st or Bayless/Batum and Rudy and Raef and a 1st for those 2, i'd think. I think KP didn't want to trade any of the Super-Six (lol) ... (A mix of our big 3 and young 3)in Oden, Roy, Aldridge, Bayless, Batum and Rudy... He also probably didn't want to trade Joel at all. Outside of those 7 the rumored deals usually included Raef, Outlaw and Sergio... He would obviously not mind trading Frye as well. Blake is interesting, and I have no idea what he wanted/wants to do with Webs.
Quick's worried about Oden's knee. Martell still in the boot. Dude's not going to contribute this year probably.
