    Something about this doesnt sit right with me. Especially of they get compensation out of it.

    Didn't he have to go through a physical before the treade was finalized?

    This is bullshit. As MM said, the TWolves doctors/trainers obviously gave him a physical and he passed. If it was something serious, they should have caught it.

    That's going to be tough to prove the Blazers knew something was wrong with Webs, especially when you start talking about back pain. Secondly, if the T-Wolves doctors signed off on his physical what would the Blazers physicians have seen that they couldn't?

    At worst I expect the Blazers will get fined, but I really doubt it.

    I guess they will say this type of injury dos not show up in a physical. IMO Minnesota can only win this if Martel (or KP) is quoted as saying the Blazers knew about it. Otherwise it would be difficult to prove they knew for sure.

    I just get the feeling that they are trying to milk a draft pick out of it cuz they are pissed. It will be interesting to see how the league handles this.

    I'm sure that they knew he had injured his back in the playoffs last year and any back injury can come back to haunt you. Don't see how they can win this, but you never know.

    Maybe we should sue Ohio State for not telling us how injury-prone Oden was.

    The only thing that could bite the Blazers in the ass is if they did an MRI or something and noticed significant damage to his back and then failed to disclose that during the trade, otherwise undifferentiated back pain or having a disc flare up a few months down the line after a full off-season of workouts isn't going to wash.

    Can we get a pick from them, stating we didn't realize Babbit was white when we drafted him. We'll just swap firsts next year and call it good.

    I was kind of thinking along the same lines. It's looking like the Wolves pretty much got Webs for free (time will tell), so asking for a draft pick back would just be adding insult to injury.

    KP was so good, he actually pritch-slapped both teams in that deal?

    +1 The Oden joke was funnier but this one caused me to choke on a MIke and Ike, so it wins.

    Kind of funny that Minnesota thinks it needs more compensation for trading away Luke Babbit. Just how shitty is Martell Webster?

    WTF, Kahn?! Minny seeking compensation because Webby got injured?

    http://www.startribune.com/sports/w...rksi8cyaiUjc8LDyiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUoD3aPc:_27EQU

    This makes no sense. Is it not their responsibility to deem if a player is healthy before signing him? Do these morons not realize that they have to do physicals after trading for someone?

    I guess it doesn't hurt to ask :)

    I agree with you, yuyuza... teams have medical exams for a reason.

    It's hilarious that they bitch about Marty getting hurt now, because they didn't say shit when he was killin it in preseason.

    EDIT: oops, didn't see this thread. Thanks for the merge.

    If they do indeed follow through with some sort of investigation, I see Kahn getting ostracized from the inner NBA circles. No one will want to trade with him any longer.
