Looks like Portland is just freeing up cap space for free agency this summer etc.

 

[MickZagger]

Damn, can we get some confirmation on this shit. Who got Hamilton?

Can people please cite sources?

Putting stuff in quotes without a source is just confusing.

I know how you get when I say scout friend, so I left the first part off

Because your 'scout friend' has a pristine track record. I would have un-friended him/her a long time ago.

Cho is seriously laughing at PA trip over himself right now.

I'd really love to see something official for this trade. I hate how It is all secrets with the NBA Draft. I feel like in the NFL draft you know right away about the trades and who gets what during the draft.

I would guess it will be formalized after the 57th pick (which seems like it might be involved).

Horrible dealing by the Blazers today. I'm stunned.

 

[santeesioux]

I think you guys overpaid for Felton but he's not totally trash. He's a pretty good defender and can pass as well. It's when he tries to be the man and attempts to take the game over by jacking up shots is what annoys me.

Would love to see our draft board and if we really had Nolan Smith ranked ahead of Faried. Oh well. It's like passing up DeJuan Blair twice in the draft a couple years ago.

Hamilton? Posters are going to make the call if this trade is an embarassment to the organization or a good trade based on Hamilton.

This trade is about swapping out Miller for Felton.

Miller just started growing on me as he became more animated on the court than at any point in his career and appeared to really be bonding with his temamates. I've never been a big fan of Felton and the little I see of him isn't very impressive to me. If this is all true, I hope Felton and LA gel as much as Miller and LA.

Will Felton help to push the pace?

Hamilton is a Trail Blazer. Makes me feel better.

Source?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hamilton is NOT a Trailblazer

 

[MickZagger]

Josh Selby is punching himself in the face right now.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Source?

I'm pulling a Crapzano. I cant name my source.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Josh Selby is punching himself in the face right now.

No kidding

 

[Ed O]

I think if you look at Miller's career and you look at Nate's career, it's pretty obvious who was responsible for the slow pace of the Blazers.

I know. He hasn't signed a contract yet.
