    Kahn would probably be happy just to get some Blazers for him, offer Freeland and Jeffries, lol.

    I would love to see Ridnour in a Blazers uniform.

    I might deal Mathews in a trade if I could get Terrence Ross or Jeremy Lamb back.

    I think he will get around 5-6 million. How would that apply?

    The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors have engaged in exploratory trade discussions on a potential deal centered around Carlos Boozer and Andrea Bargnani, according to sources.

    If talks proceed to a more serious level, smaller contracts will need to be added to the deal to make the salary cap aspect work.

    Still, both the Bulls and Raptors have given consideration to the move, sources said.

    For the Raptors, the question is whether the organization can afford having both Rudy Gay and Boozer on the payroll moving forward.

    The Bulls have long been assumed to be leaning toward using their amnesty clause on Boozer at season's end

    Can confirm discussions of a Humphries-Ben Gordon swap, as reported by @Chris_Broussard. "Nothing concrete" at this point, per source.


    Hmmm, wonder if we can sneak in my portion of it. :)

    You said the best. Wouldn't making it to the Eastern Conference finals be the best Raptors team?

    We have 1 real asset and he has a no trade clause. Sums up our trading likelihood.

    That seems to be what most Blazers fans want just to trade our garbage. Everything else is pretty much out of the question.

    This isn't even a rumor, but GSW fans floating out the idea of a Klay Thompson for Evan Turner swap. Klay can go bomb away off of Jrue/Bynum (he seems to excel when Curry is out and not do so great when hes further down the pecking order). Turner can get to the rim and create and let Curry murder people off the ball. Provides a more balanced and athletic back court for GS.
