    Ugh... oh well, at least we're getting some talent for our expirings. I'm not against acquiring Tyrus, but I'm afraid that Nate will fall in love with Vujacic.

    Thomas isn't who I mind so much, it's including "The Machine" ... I can't handle the thought of that right now -- it's completely clouding my mind, and making it impossible for me to see the upside.

    Maybe they'll cut him and we can sign him again.

    We would have to wait 30 days to resign him I believe. :(

    I'd rather give up patty than Juwan actually

    Ugh. The only good thing about Sasha is that he can be packaged with Joel's contract next season for a pretty good player.

    I'm not sure why KP isn't more interested in Amare. He has played a lot of Center in Phoenix and he is still a young guy. Even if Greg comes back full strength, I don't think we can rely on him and he could be our back up Center to Amare. Right now Juwan is playing Center and he is only 6'8.

    Sadly, Juwan is probably a better post defender than Amare'

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think Thomas is a better player than any of those three, and I'm definitely no Outlaw hater. Blake is better than Vujacic, so the "talent adding up" may not be equal, but I'm comfortable with a deal where we get the best player, since the team has too many so-so parts.

    Yeah ... I agree with my brain, but my gut just can't get over Sasha Vujacic :banghead: In fact if the deal was just Blake, Trav and Juwan for Thomas I'd probably be semi excited about it :cheers:

    IMO, he who gets the best player, wins. That would be the Blazers in this case.

    Negatives: Send out Blake, Outlaw, Howard; Take back VujaBitch

    Positives: Acquire Tyrus Thomas (who Blazers fans will love, I predict); Get something of value for our expirings/redundancies (IOW, Send out Blake, Outlaw, Howard, LOL).

    At first blush it may seem like a lot. But the more I look at it, it looks more and more like something for nothing.

    Vujawhatever makes me ill. Oh, well. If it happens, I look forward to Mix's spin. :NOTMARIS:

    haha.. yeah, I think if we do get Vujabitch, then everyone should be calling KP as kpee. And make signs at the RG calling KP as kpee.

    It doesn't make any sense at all.

    But Vujawhatever isn't the point at all. Taking him would be the price of doing business. Even the article made clear the Blazers probably wouldn't do it at that price (although that's probably just KP haggling for a draft pick).
