    And why would Arn Tellum be making these waves now? Because he knows that the chances are pretty slim of finding a suitable landing spot for Aldridge when his contract runs out. Nobody's going to have the cap space unless they suck...and another rebuild is not what LMA is looking for. Fortunately, I think Olshey has this situation pretty well figured out. Time for LMA to buck up and help turn the Blazers into a contender.

    Agents and their all-star clients usually get their wish when they've decided they want to move on. (Assuming LMA wants out) why is it going to be any different this time?

    Midnight Run is okay, but, like the Blues Brothers, it's one of those movies that people WAY overhype. I remember me and a few friends renting it (because it was supposed to be so good) and for some reason they threw in Liasons Dangereux (the one with John Malkovich and the young Uma) and we all enjoyed that more.

    ""Let me describe the scene to you: There are these guys, see? They've probably been up for like two days; they stink of BO; they have coffee breath; they're constipated from sittin' on their asses for so long; they're sitting in a van, "

    What's HCP got to do with this?
