Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Hey Blazers fans who thinks it would be a good Idea for the Blazers to pick up Okur if he opts out next year?

can't see it happening

he’ll be 30 by the start of next season, and he doesn’t play defense, so I just don’t think he’d fit

We have a center

Two actually.

Oden...Aldridge...Roy.....THE REAL BIG THREE

He has an early termination option this summer, that I don't think he will use in the current financial situation of teams...

…unless a team like OKC had guaranteed him to pick him up for a certain price. Why not wait until 2010 when some team hoping for a major free agent could use him as a consolation or in addition. He plays more like Dirk Nowitzki than a true center. And at around $9 million, he would be a bit too pricey as a backup (PF/C) unless you see us dealing away Joel. All in all, pretty unlikely that he will be a Blazer.

Yeah, Mehmet Okur should surely stick around with the Utah Jazz for one more season at $9,000,000.

It’ll be interesting to see what’ll happen over there in Mormon country with Carlos Boozer, who I expect to decline the player option in his contract and sign with the Detroit Pistons. Once Boozer heads to Motown, that’ll send Rasheed Wallace into the wide world of free agency.

Regarding Wallace, it’d likely be in his best interest to sign a one-year deal worth the mid-level exception with the San Antonio Spurs. With Tim Duncan in major need of some frontline help and Fabricio Oberto’s NBA career coming to a close, Wallace would be a welcomed short-term addition in the Alamo City.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
