New Canzano column re: Hedo

He just posted this half an hour ago. Most interesting tidbit was "The Blazers have already turned to other things. The front office will direct its focus to making a financially lopsided trade for a small forward, and then to adding a backup power forward."

Tayshaun or Gerald would be pretty sweet. I guess KP likes him some Steve Blake.

And/Or

Some Jerryd Bayless.

Rex is a starter by the 2010 trade deadline. Watch.

Can't say I understand that

What is Steve Blake doing that is THAT special? (Don’t answer. I know where you stand. LOL)

Well, "Sarge" loves Steve Blake & K.P. loves Jerryd Bayless.

Cablinasian and I, however, love us some good ol’ Kirk Hinrich!

Hey

I like Kirk too.

"SAY NO TO HEDO." Well that campaign FAILed.... Success!

Shooting almost 43% from 3. Not turning the ball over.

Higher 3pt percentage than R.Allen and Rudy.

Ok

I think that we posted this exact story on another post this after noon lol. I had (wrongly) said that I thought that Canzano would be yelling for Pritchard and Nates head’s on sticks in front of the rose garden. Stopped jsut short of that. I hope Canzano chokes on a chicken bone and dies a slow, painful, live death in the blazers first game.

But all of that would have been moot had: A) the Blazers had about $5 million more in salary-cap room; or B) done a better job of making this an emotional decision for Turkoglu. There was a high degree of difficulty on this one, and the Blazers knew that. But if you’re knocking this region, you need to do some traveling.

What's the differance of 3-6 mil? oh about 20+ more losses, and the chance to watch the only star leave by the end of the season. Suck it Hedo!

Canzano is a damn joke. When you see him kick him in the ass for me!

You see, that’s why we shouldn’t want a trade for Cap’n Kirk

Because when Canzona starts to gag, you won’t want anyone around the RG who knows how to perform the “Hinrich” maneuver

Look...I love Trevor Ariza....But $32-$40 million?!? That better be a 16-year contract. --Dave

If I have 50 mil

I wouldn’t want to live here.

if I have 50 mil

it doesn’t matter where I live

The Blazers as a whole are far more like my wife than like me in the sense of their physicality on defense.

Why are we focusing on acquiring another SF?

Last I checked, Batum did pretty well for a 19 year old, he has the potential to be another Tashaun Prince – backup PF and starting PG are much bigger holes. Unless KP can land Prince, Butler, or Granger without giving up Nic or Rudy, I don’t see a lopsided trade for a SF that makes sense for this team. Even if you believe in Bayless (and I do), it would be nice to have an upgrade over Blake for the next season or two until Bayless is ready to assume the starting job.
