Another Trade Cooking

[e_blazer]

Just heard on 95.5 that the Blazers are looking at another deal that could be announced in the next few days. Quick says Rudy's trade is only #2 on Cho's to-do list.

Now forever known to be the "Cho List". Similar to Schindlers list, but comprising purely of players needing smuggled off the Blazers to other teams.

What about the trade that Quick promised would be revealed today? Or is that the one Quick now says will be revealed in the next few days? Or has Quick been a peeping tom again?

 

[B-Roy]

Huh? I'm listening to 95.5 right now and they're talking about random shit.

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah, we're trading Sergio to the Kings......

Love ya man, but that one kinda crossed the line bro.

I have no problem with it. It seemed an OK statement to me.

Really? Comparing Blazers trades to the Holocaust doesn't seem a bit much? My wife's of Jewish descent.

Let me break it down for you.

Mel Gibson = bullshit

Oliver Stone raised good points.

Hasoos reached for a joke and went over the line. Nothing unforgivable and certainly on par with some of my blunders, but definitely over the line for me. Just MO.

Yea that is a problem I have had all my life. Some of my jokes always go over the top. Didn't mean to anger anybody. And I don't want the thread hijacked.

Apology accepted?

It was on their sports report at 1:00 PM. No details (so what else is new?). They said that the trade of Rudy to an Eastern Conference team is progressing, but that there's another trade in the works and that's where Cho is spending most of his time right now.

They attributed the info to Quick, so make of it what you will.

N/m. Try to stay on topic.

You need to fall back. Let's stay on topic and try not offending people at the same time.

See ya Andre Miller. It was a good one season.

Well, I see what you're saying, but I didn't take it that way at all. He just seemed to be using a plot from a popular movie as an analogy. Now, if he had called Cho a chink or stated in his analogy that we had to be as miserly as a kike or something like that, I'd be on board with ya. But maybe we're trying to be just a tad bit too PC? All that to say, I am certain there was no hint, no matter how remote, a slur to Jewish people.

And now I see he has apologized. See, what a great guy! I mean, can't, can't we all just get along?

Maybe making you a little over sensitive?

On topic: Sure would be cool to see something happen. Feels like draft day was forever ago and I'm dying for the Blazers to take some sort of action.

Absolutely, had all the hallmarks of being edgy etc. Like I said I've fucked up FAR worse in some other threads. No probs.

I didn't think it was a slur of the Jewish people. I just felt it was in bad taste. I'm not into the Holocaust being dragged out every time someone criticizes Israeli foreign policy for instance as I think that's dangerous crying wolf. I do think its a reach to compare the Blazers to Birkenau and mildly offensive.

Also, I know what a real slur looks like. Your response reminds me of mine to El Presidente, going a bit far to make a point.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

OK everyone, group hug!

I agree with the second part. Like I said I'm not going crazy, but if I had lost members of my family in the Holocaust I could see what that would be upsetting. It's like jokes about 9/11 have to be pretty careful there or any other large scale loss of life. Anyways, I'm done and don't want to hijack the thread. It's all good.

 

[Idog1976]

Back on topic. I wonder what Cho's number one trade is. I'm hoping a trade for an NOH pg, either one really.

You know, when you start a thread on here, you just never know what kind of a twisted path that sucker's going to follow.

That would be my hope as well. I also wonder if we're shopping for a younger PG who can tutor under Miller for two years and then we have our 'PG of the future'.

 

[Reep]

Anyone think that Quick is just throwing things out there so he can claim he was the first to talk about it? Does he have some kind of deal with the Blazers where they give him (or don't worry if he gets) inside information, as long as he doesn't tell the details before they say "go"?

If I were the Blazers I wouldn't give him squat. However, I can see some value in working with him if you can get him to agree to not out a specific trade that he found out from a source (agent) that he shouldn't have.

 

[Reep]

But who would this be? I can't find too many PG prospects out there that could be available that also have promise. The good prospects aren't going anywhere and it is hard to get excited about bringing in someone else's second choice, who may not be better than what we have in our stable.

 

[oldmangrouch]

OK, I will go on record right now.

Quick is a lying little prick, and there will be no trade, unless it is some meaningless BS like Mills for a future 2nd rounder. Come Monday, people should start calling 95.5 and demanding he be banned from their station.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Obviously Quick has an account on s2. The username is "Mediocre Man" and of course he's saying...
Deal Coming Soon

 

[Idog1976]

Yeah, sorry about that. Needed to be said.

Anyways, I still think we should look for assets NOH wants like a Rudy for Boston unprotected 1st and a Joel or Miller sized TPE from someone like CLE.

 

[tlongII]

Deal coming soon!

On 95.5 the other night there was some talk about Augustine and how Nate really liked him.

Oh, come on now. If you go and make dispensing only accurate information a requirement for being on the radio, there'd be a lot of dead air time and not much for us to talk about.
