The I-Am-Officially-Sick-of-Draft-and-Trade-Talk Fanpost

Over the past few days, I have engaged in the draft talk and trade talk. But there are only so many things that we as fans can do, and it hardly seems useful. So much speculating has gone on that the Chicago Board of Trade is getting wary. I am officially giving up on trying to figure out anything, and am tired of everyone trading away all our players for mediocre upgrades with long-term contracts.

So, instead of that, What would we rather talk about? Personally, I'd rather be talking about how we match up with the upcoming seven-game series with whomever wins the East. I thought I would use this year's team, since if this were really happening, we wouldn't have Oden or Rudy, or whatever mediocre player we trade our entire bench for.

Blake vs. Rondo/Billups?

Roy vs. Allen/Hamilton?

Webster vs. Pierce/Prince?

Aldridge vs. Garnett/Wallace?

Przybilla vs. Perkins/McDyess?

But why stop with what I want to talk about? What do you want to talk about? Well, other than draft and trade stuff. There are plenty of other diaries to put that in. Feel free to take this as far off-topic as you please, I need the distraction.

Mind if I go off topic?

I was going to write a diary about something but I’ve been too busy today. I read in ESPN the Magazine that teams have a word they call out when there is only 6 seconds left on the clock. It basically means get the ball to our guy and have him score. Cleveland’s word is “Butter” and Boston’s is “Green.”

I thought it would be fun to guess what the Blazer’s word is. My guess is, “Hammer Time!”

I think I have a man crush on Bobby Flay.

Too many syllables...

How about just “Time!” In other words, “Look at the clock, you moron!” I really don’t see the need for a special code word in this situation.

How about "butterball" ?We get in Cleveland'[s head by using part of their word and we incorporate

a ball. It might even get their player’s thinking of a delicious sandwich. I’ll get to work on this at once.

I know that before K.P.

changed the culture the word was “SPLIFF!”

But now I think it’s more like “BAIL!” as in “bail us out of this shot clock situation”. Obviously before K.P. time shouting “BAIL!” would’ve just led to bad memories for the players so they avoided using it.

Our word a couple years ago was also "Green"

It meant go to the pick-and-roll immediately.

Personally I’d go with “Golliver” though. I’m not sure what the offensive set would be.

Would a simple "yes" suffice?

Because I am here for the basketball content and discussion, and yes, there is more to talk about, I’m sure.

So… hmm…. what would you like to talk about?

I wuold love to see wallace v. la

i agree w/ you. I think the following trade is EXACTLY what this team needs

Travis Outlaw (he’s always the first to go right?) + Jarrett Jack + Martell (he isnt growing up fast enough damn the calander) + Rudy + 13th pic

for

Jason Kid

because what this team needs evidently besides growth, maturity and time is a veteran PG

What Im really thankful for is that Kevin Pritchard is a TOTAL G and would never contemplate something like the afore-mentioned TRAINWRECK of a trade. Some legitimate things have been noted but mostly it’s all a bunch of ridiculousness.

I love my boyscouts

They are going to be better next year b/c we have a great center coming in and most likely a shart shooter off tha bench.

I say no more trades this summer unless it’s virtual trading which is ok..

Anway

if i went 2 channing place he would probably order a pizza…

How about a specific location for draft and trade talk?

I just checked out the Blog-a-Bull site. They have specific threads started for that sort of discussion started by the site-blogger. On the BaB they’re located where our recommended fanposts reside. Maybe Dave could start something like that up? Of course, I have no idea what the limitations of this site are…

I do know that at the time I’m writing this, all nine of the fanposts allowed in the sidebar were all started within eighteen hours of each other. That means posts are getting booted off at a ridiculous pace, for what? More draft and trade speculations?

For the most part.

I have nothing against such talk, really. I just think it needs a new home.

Dave, is this a possibility?

I like your handle

who wins in a three-way (obviously simulated, the Alliance can’t afford to pit its top dogs against each other just for poops and giggles) dogfight between Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, and Han Solo? I feel that this is a tough question. The obvious response is Luke, but keep in mind that we really only see him flying in Episode IV during the Death Star run (and that’s including dozens of canonical books where he’s off doing other things instead of dogfighing, like battling the reborn Emperor, succumbing to the dark side, etc).

Wedge and Han have more piloting time in their little fingers than Luke has in his whole body, the Force be damned. No matter how talented you are (Chris Paul = Luke Skywalker) you gotta take your lumps and gain your experience before you can hang with the big boys. In an X-, A-, or B-wing, I’d take Wedge. Anything not a snubfighter, i.e. freighter or up, I pick Han.

by BlazersOrBust on May 30, 2008 5:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Luke all the way...

Experience can get you far, a championship even, but when you have access to the Force, you have all the experience of the collective whole to draw on. The Force gives Luke the clear advantage here and trumps age and experience. Now, if he were facing Darth Vader with all his years and experience…

"...and that loud noise you hear coming is the Portland Trailblazers." - Charles Barkley

Luke could never do it

Without R2D2. That’s his “force” right there. R2 just takes over the controls and does everything for him.

My money is on my favorite character, the best droid of them all, R2D2. And don’t sleep on Lando. He’s a scandalous rogue as well, and will get you when you’re down.

Do you read the extended universe stuff, BoB? Man, I could never get into those, even when I was a kid. Always felt wrong. I remember one book set between New Hope and Empire, where Luke fights Vader over some lame force crystal. Huh who wha..?! So, he’s not meeting Vader for the 1st time in Empire? They’ve fought a few times already? Ok.

My brother read them though.

Let me think...

I read a book called “A Splinter in the Mind’s Eye” by Allen Dean Foster I think it was, and a few others I can’t remember the titles. Though, the one about Lando when he still owned the Millenium Falcon was good as I recall. But that was many years ago when I lived with the Ewoks on the moon of Endor.

Is that what you meant by BoB?

That’s the best part about the off-topic threads. Eventually they get so skinny that you can only fit about five words per line and they end up being longer vertically than they are horizontally.

What’s the idea behind this “Mote in God’s Eye” book? I’m a sucker for a good science fiction read…the whole Ender’s Game series (especially the title book) is one of my favorites ever. I would trade Travis and our lottery pick for Ender. Now THERE’S some tremendous upside potential.

The year is 3025 (or so) and Humanity is exploring the stars

They have a star drive that works in a strange way that allows you to jump instantly from star to star but requires you to travel sub-light with in the system (this is a major plot point). The humans are cleaning up and consolidating after a major civil war when a vessel is spotted coming inbound from an area that could not have been the result of using the star drive. The vessel contains dead aliens. The plot ensues from there

After I was born

I was a young tike and we were fishin’ on a lake. Aliens done sucked up the boat into their ship. They were gonna anal probe me an my daddy done said, “Nobody, that ain’t family, is probin’ my boy.” A scuffle ensued and he was stabbed by a light saber scalpel in his soft spot. His soft spot on his head never got hard from when he was a little bitty baby. As he died, he said to me, he said, “AVENGE ME! AVENNNNNGE MEEEEE!

It depleted her calcium so she had to get off the Depo. We use a homeopathic method now. It involves pine cones and a tear from a phoenix.

So if space ladies are on something so that their aunt does not visit, do you think there is space nookie at the international space station?

The Impending Soviet Invasion

My wife had me listen to a debate on NPR a while back where some political science types/think-tankers debated the question “Is Russia Becoming Our Enemy Again?”

That there is a legtimate debate about whether or not Russia is becoming our enemy should make us view Red Dawn with a renewed focus and prepare to defend ourselves from foreign invasion with our hunting rifles

Sorry to burst the bubble,

but the fantasy of fighting an invasion force with hunting rifles, could never happen with modern warfare the way it is. At least, not the way it’s done In Red Dawn.

I read all of the extended universe stuff

when I was younger. It started getting too convoluted for me, though (the force crystal example you mentioned being a good one) and shockingly, an encyclopedic knowledge of the extended Star Wars canon was not a sure-fire way to get laid in high school so I kinda trickled off.

R2D2 is cool, but if we’re talking badass droids, there’s no replacement for IG-88. That guy was invulnerable to just about everything except for those darn ion cannons.

Ohhhh snap

You are quite right. In an effort to reclaim my geek card, I’ll mention that I THINK said Y-wing pilot was Keyan Farlander, who eventually trained at Luke’s Jedi academy, but I could be mistaken.

Alas, this man could not...

...masterbate in space!

A genetic flaw that led to his eventual insanity.

Hey, thank you, annthefan!

Now, I feel like an idiot for posting that. Can I use ignorance as an excuse? If I had been one with the Force, I would have known without knowing I needed to know. Sheesh! Did that make sense? I’m so confused…

Not a problem. I only found it by clicking around. It is a common problem on this site and you are not alone.

The force is with us.

You are too cool for school.
25 is cool, too. The Force is strong in that one. The Blazers had better hang on to him.

He sure would look good

In a Laker’s jersey. Let’s trade him for Kobe.

I think I have a man crush on Bobby Flay.

ACK! #@% #@%. I mean #25 #25 #25. See what you've done! Now I'm flustered!

Pay him no mind, annthefan

He is obviously looking to incite chaos and antagonistic responses here on the Bedge. I mean look at his avatar. Ikes!

And Sam Cassell would fit beautifully as our starting PG!

He might Pay Paul. To let him be on Our Team.

Yeah but he'll have to rob Peter to pay Paul.

I voted No, I like having something to talk about ...

But really I am sick of trade talk, mostly ‘cause it makes me sad to contemplate losing any of our guys. Guys whom I’ve basically just imprinted on the way ducklings do with their mommy.

But again, I am not sick of talking about the draft, ‘cause the draft might just bring us yet another great Blazer player bound for all-stardom if not for the hall o’ fame if KP is half as good as I believe he is.

Diary posts have noticably gone the route of endless forum threads during the off-season

People must be bored, topics keep coming back cause there is nothing to talk about regarding the Blazers. Hopefully after the draft, we have something to discuss and not just speculate.

None of the poll options are even close

I want one that reads like this:

Yes, I am #$@#& sick and @&$#@&# tired of the whole Draft/Trade topic!

I skim read most of this stuff so quickly that I probably only absorb about 2% of it.

I am starting to think that I am going to have to stay drunk all summer just to keep from freaking out.

Anybody know some good drinking songs?
