Ticked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Folks, this day is looking to be a dark day during the course of the "Brandon Roy Years."
To recap, we are contemplating on signing the next "Peja Stojacovic" styled in contract, named H*DO, which after 1 year of moderate productivity will be know as HTEC (H.T. Expiring Contract, as 1 commentor brilliantly named)
Secondly, H*DO is angering Rudy, "furious," as reported, not good, not good.
Third, significantly so, is that Ben Gordon has a deal in place with the Pisons, meaning the Bulls are not going to get Captain Kirk come to PDX at all it seems, and certainly not for Blake & Trout...meaning...we increased the likelihood of...Bl*ke remaining our starting PG, who is GARBAGE as a starter in this league, don't get me started, don't debate it, you know it to be true, if GM's ranked starting PG's in this league, Blake would be on the tail end, the "dung heap," as you might call it, anything other truths smacks of homerism
PDX will win titles, but this day could be the beginning of moves that turn a one in a generation dynasty, into a "nice decade," and this is unnacceptable. Do you know a once in a generation dynasty is possible for this team !!!
DO YOU REALIZE THIS!!!??? The Yankees BUY Babe Ruth!!! They sign CC Sabbathia AND Mark Teixaria in a single offseason and piss of the rest of the league!!! The Cavs trade junk for Shaq, and now (*literally, this is true!) have Lebron talking to Artest last night convincing him to sign with their team!!!! The Red Sox pay 50 million to some Japanese team just to be able to talk to Dice-K!!!!! THIS IS WHAT WINNERS DO!!!! The Bulls sign the craziest man on the planet in Dennis Rodman because HE IS A FREAK ON THE BASKETBALL COURT!!! It doesn't always work out, but THIS IS WHAT WINNERS DO!!!!
I have never seen a "perfect storm of opportunity" hit a team like these Blazers, so much potential, so much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ P.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, so much depth, ENOUGH free agent room, and we are going to sign H*DO!!!! Blahhhhhh!!!!! Wait, I'm not done... Blahhhhhhhh!!!!! If the Blazers need to be a WINNER!!!! THEN THEY NEED TO MOVE LIKE ONE, Winners in our position orchestrate trades like signing Gortat, package him with Trout&Blake, & pay the Bulls $3million in cash to get Kirk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" WINNERS" throw 9 million at a guy like Marvin Williams, make teams like ATL shake in their pathetic financial boots, and then console them by saying, just let us sign your restricted FA, and then we'll send you 3 million, and trade you Outlaw for the most pathetic of your scrubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"WINNERS" say I WILL SIGN ARTEST BECAUSE HE IS A BEAST WHO WILL BEAT THE HECK OUT OF KOBE, will be the best defensive player to fix our most glaring weakness!!!!, and
"Winners" sign a FA Like Ron Artest because they WANT TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Winners" sign a guy like Gortat, call up Larry Brown who likes big men, and says we'll trade you "Gortat, Rudy, & Bayless for DJ Augustin and some junk contract you want to get rid of." Then when Larry says "No." we call up their cash strapped owners and tell them we'll throw in 3 million cash, to get them to get a deal done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then with the remaining cash they'd have left, they sign RON ARTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are the types of moves WINNERS DO, I HATE TO SAY IT, THESE ARE THE TYPES OF MOVES THE L*KERS DO!!!!!!!!!! IF KP DOESN'T GET THIS DONE, IT IS GOING "MONEYBALL" STRATEGY, BILLY BEANE STRATEGY, FLORIDAY MARLINS SMALL-BALL, AND THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO GO YANKEES, WE WILL KICK YOUR BUTT, RIP YOUR HEART OUT MENTALITY, AND IF THE BLAZERS GO "PITTSBURGH PIRATES" AT THIS MOMENT, i AM NOT GOING "LOSERVILLE", AND 10 YEARS FROM NOW, GO, "JEE WIZZ, THAT WAS GREAT WE WON 2 CHAMPIONSHIPS DURING THOSE BRANDON ROY YEARS," i will be ticked because this team is set up for so much more!!!!!!!!

Relatively speaking
This team needs vets at their peak, not more young guys. Artest qualifies, but I’d not want to risk a 60 win season on Ronnie’s medication compliance.
In five years, probably only three or four players from this year’s team will remain, yet our window will likely still be open. We don’t know what it’ll take to win in 2013, as we don’t know how good LMA will be, what’s Greg will turn into, or what teams we’ll have to get through to win a title.
I think we all feel this pressure to create the perfect 10-year dynasty, when you’re really just planning 2-3 years at a time and hoping your non-core players pan out.

Calm down. We don't know what the final picture is yet.
Hedo is probably the best free agent available this year, and it is our last year to sign a free agent. I’m viewing it like the draft. If this is our last chance to sign a real impact player in free agency, take the best player available, and collect assets. Maybe a smoking trade will come later we can’t pass up.
calm down
seriously dude. hedo is the best free agent available on the market. don’t believe me? ric bucher has hedo on the top of his list.
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/news/story?id=4293663
they are going after the best available player, just like the yankees would. kirk is a good player, but not much of an upgrade over blake. had a good playoff series, but hasn’t had a great career. artest is a good player but is a nut who would possibly kill everything this team has been working for with his locker room presence. calm down

Agreed
I think Turk would be a big mistake and the Peja comparison could be fairly accurate. When N.O. brought Peja over they thought “instant contender,” I can’t see how KP could get this wrong. This must be smoke screen while he nabs Artest or Bibby.

we want to be a good defensive team right?
so lets leave Blake there and reduce the role of Batum. good plan? Hedu is just an older Outlaw who has had the chance to develop, and there is a reason that i dont want trout.

In case you didn’t “get it” I’m REALLY TICKED Kirk is likely off of the market, and the “Bizzaro-Version” of Captain Kirk is Steve Blake!!!!! Familiar with Superman?
by TrentEdwardsHoF2018 on Jul 1, 2009 8:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Why all the hype over captain Kirk?
Hedo has a much better and more established, polished and accomplished resume and we will most likely get him at about the same price. So we turn one of our “weaknesses” in the stop gap 3 position we’ve been filling with a 19 year old rookie, and a guy who would rather play PF,into a scoring and offensive threat for the same price that it would cost to upgrade a similar player at another of our “weaknesses” the PG position?? and the sky is now falling??
CALM DOWN. This is a good move in the long run for this team. No we’re not set at the PG position, it just means we only have one “weakness” left to address.
I am now a fan of HEDOnism
Position, Minutes, and what he brings that Steve Blake physically cannot.
And big ears. But thats okay, he can use them to block passing lanes.

actually, no it's been the mark of most SUCCESSFUL franchises over the last decade plus
build a core, then fill with the right role players around that core and if the salaries have to go up while the core matures so be it…but overspending to “build” a quality winning franchise has rarely ever worked.

This is it: When I see Cavs, Spurs, & Magic acquire such players for garbabe, if we don't do something big (bc we have so many assetts to improve compared to those teams), then I think KP and PA are pulling in the reigns, and going "safe" at the...

Ok, so a big move would be to add:

Maybe we should have traded to get Zach Randolph
instead of Memphis. Maybe we should have moved up in the draft and gotten an unproven PG, maybe we should have tried harder to convince Shaq that Portland was a good fit for him and had 3 centers….these are all big moves that most likely would not have worked out. Hedo will work great in this system and provide a much needed punch as a 3rd scoring option off LMA and Roy who are both getting big deals this summer. Calm down Bills fan, Portland will be just fine next year, and if you think KP is done after this… you are sorely mistaken

Asking someone for directions to that place would be, naturally, a disaster.

Really: It will be a "failing grade" if in this offseason we acquire H*DO and the Cavs acquire "Artest & Shaq," no excuses for letting a team in a worse cap/talent situation aqcuire more talent than us, but the sun still will shine tomorrow I guess

Nope, to tell you the truth, I began to like this team bc:
A.) Their are actually a good group of guys on the whole, I have a hard time rooting for the Amare’s and Kobes and the Shaq’s of the world when it is them as the main cog, too much arrogance.
B.) It was a beautiful thing to watch a small market team aqcuire the potential to just dominate the NBA with such good guys

For "serious" readers, may I remind you at this point...
Hedo will be an albatross contract for us as early as the 2010-2011 season, highly paid, on the decline, useless to us with a developed Batum, and largely untradeable unless a salary dump VERSUS signing ARIZA, WHO WE CAN SIGN ON THE CHEAP THIS YEAR BECAUSE THEIR IS NO REAL COMPETITION IN FA MARKET PRACTICALLY, AND WILL BE A HUGE TRADE CHIP 2 YEARS DOWN THE LINE, A GUY IN HIS PRIME, WITH AN UNDERPAID CONTRACT

agree about Ariza
he seems like a more polished version of Batum (although Batum probably has the higher ceiling)

"oh I served BRP all right

so I think it would be a good idea to sign a vet guy who can help the team today and
Batum can pattern his game after and then when that Vet is ready to move on to retirement Batum can assume the starting position, maybe even in that guy’s final year of his contract when we could use it to trade as an Ex Contract say 3-4 years from now…who would fit that description…hmmmm?…

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in- law with All the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month we know today as the honeymoon.

you forgot to mention bizarro's injury
in terms of the hthtc highly tradeable htc it seems ok. i would rather focus more on d and toughness this offseason.
I have but one thing to say:
Cool it. Please. Lets just crank it down a notch.
OMG WERE GOING TO SIGN THE TOP FREE AGENT OF THIS CLASS.
This still just adds to our assets, if he is signed it is but the first part of a 2 part production brought to you by KP and Friends.
Lets just take a time out. Just for a bit. After all the debate i still have no reason not to trust KP. The non-draft of Dejuan Blair doesn’t count.
There is always that gut feeling. KP has never done what is expected of him. This draft continues to show just that. I listen to nothing the media says, much less the East Coast bias of E*PN
* Building a Greg Oden Fanboy Treehouse Clubhouse this summer...
I really cant see us signing Turk for the 5years 50million.
If anything he needs us more then we need him if he is really interested in winning a title Portland is by far the most likely team to do it out of all of the Turk “contenders”.
I could see us trying to add depth with a lowball offer. We have the economy going for us right now, we are in a position of power, we have a very attractive young team.
3Years 20 Million. Ill start low as possible and gauge his reaction.
Then again, KP I am not. Blazer fan I am.
