    Hahahahaha.... *click*

    A first rounder is already extremely steep for a 30 game rental. If anything, as we get closer to the deadline I'm lowering my offer, certainly not increasing it. I'm not desperate to make a move anyway. They can go fuck themselves.

    Am I the only person that thinks Dragic is on the decline? This difference in speed, cutting from last season to this season is noticeable. Anyone looking to lock him up to a long-term, max-type deal will regret it.

    I can only assume that Denver sees us saying "We might be willing to give TRob/Barton/#1, but we're going to wait and see in Denver comes off the demand for a #1", and thinks, "Perhaps if we raise our asking price to two #1's, they'll think that we're coming down to their asking price by only accepting one".

    I think it's really just a big game of chicken.

    Chalmers and Cole both suck and Heat fans hate them.

    Also, one or both would presumably go in the deal to match salaries.

    I think Portland's rumored offer is plenty. Unless someone offers Denver a higher draft pick, they'd be stupid not to take it.

    I'm betting #1 + future 2nd + Wright + TRob for Chandler.

    Wonder if Olshey has pulled an all-nighter

    Olshey is perfectly willing to walk away from a deal he doesn't like, and stand pat until the off season. The Blazers are not desperate to deal. I'll laugh if Denver blows this, but I'll understand if they trade for a higher pick.

    That would make a lot of sense for both sides.

    I'd like to see OKC get B Lopez for Reggie Jackson. Not only because it makes them worse overall, but it makes our matchups against them a little more fun with the brother v brother angle.

    2015 1st
    2016 Knicks 2nd (I think we own that still)
    T-Rob
    Barton

    for Wilson Chandler, that should be WAY more than enough.

    Nah. Tell them you're done for the night, turn off the phone, and rest up for this morning. Make them sweat.

    Except Portland doesn't have any 2nd round picks until 2019 as it is... We don't have any to trade.

    Totally fair deal for both sides. It makes TOO MUCH sense to happen is the problem.

    I wonder if we could buy one before the trade deadline? That seems weird though. Anyone know?

    I have a feeling this is the only deal that gets done today.

    Throw in 3 million in cash considerations in lieu of a 2nd rounder.
