Blazers Being Sold in Next 18 Months???



According to Jake Fischer, the Blazers may be up for sale in the next 18 months. He also discusses the Grant situation a bit. Article is posted on Bleacher Report. The site is meh, but Fischer has legs in the business.

On a side note: According to the fellas over on Blazers Uprise, Grant is apparently working out with Dame. He is also apparently telling the Pistons that he will only sign an extension with the Blazers, in an attempt to dissuade other teams from trading for him.

On one hand, I do not want Grant, as he is not worth that extension money. On the other hand, if he is lowering his trade value by blocking extension talks with other teams, Portland could benefit from it. On the other other hand, Cronin will still get fleeced in the deal, as that is his track record until we see otherwise. If the MIL pick is used, then he better put additional protection on that pick. 3 years is a long time in the NBA. And the Blazers have horrible luck. No reason to not protect the pick until #11 where we would have likely had the pick this year and traded it to them.

So, what does this all mean? Well, Dame will get another guy a bag of money. He himself will be getting a bag of money. Jody will be getting a bag of money, and you and I will be shelling out a bag of money to watch mediocrity. Go Blazers!
