    Sounds like Blazers are being active on the phones as their name keeps popping up in rumors.

    The other rumor is Tornoto: Crawford and Felton for Calderon and Barbossa.

    Does that even work?

    I would give that serious consideration. We might lose some capspace this summer, but if Crawful opts in, then it doesn't really hurt that much.

    They are saying Minny is willing to trade because they are trying to take that next step to make it past the first round

    Man I wish we had a front office that thought outside the box a little. Calderon and Barbossa aren't the answer to winning a title. Stop trying to compete for the damn 8th seed.

    Deal some of these guys for assets like picks and young players

    Mike said there is big news, but it has to wait. He is saying that management is working very heavily to get a few deals done. Yikes! Sounds exciting!

    Batum and Aldridge will not be traded, but they are listening. Wallace is the #1 piece in talks.

    Okay now they said only Aldridge is 100% safe from not being traded.

    I guess Crawford goes to LAC for Bledsoe, Billups and a future pick


    I guess Felton goes to LAL for TPE and a pick



    Oh wait, I am thinking about actually building a contender with draft picks.


    Crawford to Minny for Ridnour

    Likely, Blazers will wait until summer and do something major. Likely a minor trade happens that gives them options this summer.

    They don't want to do anything that will fuck everything up mid season. Looks like we are lotto bound peoples!

    If that were really the case, and I hope it is, then they should trade Wallace, Crawford and Felton ASAP and see what Smith and Williams can do

    So is there big news we will ahve to wait on or is it only minor trade likely to happen?

    (not questioning you mags, reading your comments, rice seems all over the board)
