    LOSERS: The Portland Trail Blazers

    The Blazers carry high salaries with a mediocre team, and we know for certain the GM has not spent the summer executing a new master plan. We know this because there is no GM! But common sense would suggest this team has to win a lot or change a lot, and one of their favorite tools of the past -- outspending rivals -- has grown trickier.

    One vet player texting me, doubting he'll vote to approve deal. "We (bleeping) caved," he said. He's been entrenched on issues entire way.

    There will be a significant number of players who will not vote to approve this deal, but there won't be a majority. The deal will pass.

    Im not too dissapointed about no GM. The only real thing we have to do revolves around GO and using a exception if we have one to use. The GO situation really only plays into our hands if he signs with another team and then we just match it.

    Yeah I'm not that concerned either, we signed Wesley Matthews without a GM. I'd rather have our scouts like Chad B. coming to a consensus on moves then have a crappy GM like John Nash. The Roy amnesty could be a big change but it sounds certain we'll use it on him so yes signing Oden and adding an MLE player are all we have to do.

    I just hope this stops CP3 to NY.

    Superteams have seriously tarnished the NBA for me.

    Why? We have people who can run everything, make trades, even manage the scouts for draft day.
