FYI: Jason Quick on BFT

Little doubt it's Paul at this point imo. I'm just not sure how likely it is.

I think Pritchard still has nightmares the Blazers didn't draft Paul in 2005.

Iggy is not earth shaking

Granger is great but not earth shaking

No second year player, even though I started the Steph Curry to Portland bandwagon last summer, is not earth shaking

It's obviously Chris Paul.

I tend to agree with each of those points ... now the million dollar question: Any chance in hell the Blazers pull this off? I'm more than just a little dubious.

Players traded in their primes:

Charles Barkley

Tracy McGrady

Chris Webber

Jason Kidd

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 1975
Moses Malone 1983

 

[BGrantFan]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 1975

Pau Gasol 2008

shaq wasn't traded in his prime?

Apparently the Nets offered the #3 pick and Devin Harris for CP3, NOH turned it down.

So, Luol Deng doesn't come close?

The hell you say!

What a surprise. If Shinn really wants to sell the team, he isn't going to help his cause by trading the team's best asset!

Why would NO want Devin Harris? lol

Dammit give us Chris Paul.

Thanks. I will now sit in the corner and quietly weep for a few hours.

Aww...now Quick reports that the other team is "disengaging" from the Blazers. So sad...

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Thats what he said yesterday

 

[Bob Dobalina]

He did "confirm" that it was Chris Paul though. And Batum was involved.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

He also says we are shopping LMA or Oden..... guessing LMA

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Another big trade in the works, that he alluded too when he talked about breaking up the big 3

My guess is Chris Bosh

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

MSP being stupid, insinuiating that the Blazers passed on CP3 because of Batum


BULLSHIT....don be stupid

Yeah, not making a lot of sense there. I'm guessing it was not only Batum but other players. Quick said something about 4 players from the Blazers. So maybe Batum just put the trade over the top?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

My guess....

Oden, Pryz, Batum, Miller

Paul and Emeka

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Haha jquick just bitchslapped the MSP

that they are wrong and NOH BACKED OUT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
