All's quiet on the Blazer front this afternoon, but here is some fresh news to discuss while the Blazer Universe waits for Neil Olshey to come out of hiding and see his shadow:
The Goran Dragic Saga
Goran Dragic has gone nuclear in Phoenix, demanding a trade and walking away from practice. He reportedly wants to go to LA, NY or Miami, but Houston wants a crack at him. He also is not happy that the team is negotiating with Boston:
Unhappy in his role, Goran Dragic wants to be traded in the next 28 hours. Suns practice @ 11. http://t.co/x5J5GSEtSd pic.twitter.com/GzJaFQu1OV

Kevin Martin Buyout?
Reports broke today that the Minnesota Timberwolves may consider buying out Kevin Martin, making him a free agent. This could be very advantageous to the Blazers if he was willing to sign. Not everyone is convinced of a buyout though.
Rival executives are surprised by the report that Kevin Martin may be bought out after deadline. They didn't think MIN would consider that.
