Wonder what the probelm is

July Fools?

Wife – “No hunny…I want to move to Toronto!”

HT – “But baby, we’ll never win more than 35 games there!”

Wife – “WE’RE MOVING TO TORONTO!!”

bring on news about the progress the plyaers ON the roster are making.

Weird. Why would so many sources say there was an agreement if nothing was actually agreed upon, unless it’s his agent trying to up the offer from Toronto.

I really jumped on the bandwagon and thought it would be good for the team, and then got real excited when an agreement was reached. Now it’s off, for the time being. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

What the hell happened? He would have been perfect for our lineup.

Could it be that KP didnt get his man?

Give me Hinrich and McDyess and I’ll be a happy man.

This really opens things up.

He said Blazers are “working on Plan B as we speak”. But he doesn’t know what it is. He guessed Gerald Wallace.

aging, money grubbing player.

I think there are far too many people who remember his 3 pointer against us in the regular season or that block on Kobe and forget everything else. 14.8 PER! 30 years old!

And justifying over paying him because he’s the only decent player available that is an okay fit is the worst logic I’ve ever heard. If you have to justify an acquisition like that it wasn’t a good acquisition.

I’m so happy we aren’t getting Hedo. We can do an unbalanced trade. Or we can just keep the same guys who got 54 wins. I’d rather let the cap space go unused than sign Hedo.

Since I don’t see the Bulls having much use and I think the Blazers could put together as good a package as any, I really think Hinrich would be an amazing fit in Portland. I really couldn’t think of a better guy to pair with Roy (considering reasonable possibilities). Outstanding defense, above average perimeter shooter, and a GREAT team guy. I personally would like to get Blake and Webster in return, which would achieve my cap space goal. But I really do think Hinrich would be a great fit for what it’s worth.

His wife was against it the whole time. I would hope a bigger payday is the reason though. I’m not crying over spilled Hedo, but he kind of help KP back from going after another deal. At least he decided now, and not on the 6th.

This is a little irritating, you know. I want Toronto to be bad on multiple levels, and I think Hedo’s a pretty good fit there.

So instead of congrats, my condolences. (I mean, even if you’re happy he’s not coming, it kind of stings to be rejected anyway, right?)

the more I look at the other players available the more he looked like the best fit by far. I think the main thing is now is getting someone out of desperation, someone that will bring the team down. It seems like we have to use this money now or its gone forever, is there any way to sort of, preserve the money?

It’s point guard. And now that we aren’t getting a small forward (Hedo) that has the ball in his hands a whole bunch, maybe we can go after a really good point guard (who is obviously going to have the ball in his hands a lot).

Life moves one. We dont need to overpay for a 30 year old Euro. Toronto is about to break the bank and renounce 3-4 players to sign a guy that wont get them even close to contention in the East.

And to hell with Hedo’s wife. He needs to get her in check. He is about to play for a weak team for the rest of his career because of her.

I say we just roll with who we have into the season. Maybe pick up Bass on the cheap, but I see no reason to spend money for no reason on sorry ass free agents.

Lets go Outlaw!!

All the other major free agents had verbal agreements with in a day or two.

I was hating the idea of giving Hedo a five year contract, and like the amount of the contract even less. Its not like I thought Hedo was a bad guy, or even a bad fit, But he would become one 4 years down the road or sooner. I just hope KP goes after Brandon Bass or a similar player to shore up the backup PF position.

Congratulations to Toronto for one of the most ridiculous moves I could have imagined: Now reportedly 60+ million??? Wow.
