THen the exception is a waste of time. It is useless.

LOL.
"I don't understand it fully, so it's useless".

In this particular situation it is useless because Wallace makes more than the exception. If we were going after a lower-priced guy like Speights, and Philly just wanted cap relief, cash and a pick, then it would be the perfect asset. It just depends upon the situation.

 

[jaspitzer]

there's a reason that guy isn't an assistant coach anymore. He was cutting every player with tattoos and long hair

Thought Quick said we were "standing pat"? haha..

Exactly. Quick has been worse than his normal self this year and trying to predict what the Blazers are doing . . . I really believe he is the most frustrated one and is spinning this as some sort of Blazer management doesn't know what they are doing.

It is Quick who doesn't know what is going on and has to make it look like somehow he is still in the loop. So he creates the owner and GM are at odds so i can't tell you what is going to happen . .. I don't buy that for a second.

nik... no way they trade henderson.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Thought Quick said we were "standing pat"? haha..

He'll no doubt claim he was misquoted (by himself). What he REALLY meant to say is "we're sending Pat". Meaning Patty Mill is the player that will be included in the trade to make the salaries match.

BNM

Too good to be true

Yeah that guy was an idiot, but John Lund is driving me crazy too today. Basically he is saying it is CP3 or bust. No other type of trade is worthwhile. Well then be prepared to be disappointed...

thats a lot to give up don't you think? Gerald Wallace won't be that good. And Augustine still hasn't proved himself to me. I liked the devin harris trade but bringing in gerald wallace isn't that great to me.

UPDATE 3:51 pm: It looks like it is a done deal — Gerald Wallace has been traded to the Portland Trail Blazers, according to a tweet from the well connected Dwight Jaynes. (No other confirmations, yet, but he is a good source.) And no, Nicolas Batum is not part of the package headed back to Charlotte. That makes this a win for Portland at first glance.

The deal will send Joel Pryzbilla, some draft picks and cash and back to Charlotte. That’s it. The Bobcats had been working hard to save money and that seems to be what they get out of this deal. Not players that make them better.

Portland, with Batum and Wallace at the two and three, could be one of the best defensive teams on the perimeter in the league. What’s kind of sad to think is that if they had the old, explosive Brandon Roy and a functional Greg Oden this team would be a serious playoff threat to the West elite.

So what everyone is saying is this can't be true because the salaries don't match? Like the last sentence.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Wow Jaynes better be right.....

So we have "too good to be true" or "no good" It means I'm probably closer to somewhere in the middle.

I heard Cho replaced the blinds with drapery. This is like Kryptonite for Quick.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Holy Fuck this is making me too anxious

Jaynes is the only one pushing this thing.

Pay no attention to the noob. The "too good to be true" is about right. I don't see any chance in hell that CHA gives up Augustin for Rudy + garbage.

no i just don't like the gerald wallace trade in the first place. I think it'd be good if we got augustine and left wallace out

Jesus, if the source is Jaynes then no other names have been given in the trade, but it has been "confirmed" that other players are involved. The major pieces are being mentioned. That's how it usually works when a trade first breaks.

Just wait 10mins and we'll get confirmation from Bleacher Report.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Source close to situation still says "nothing to confirm" regarding Blazers trade for Gerald Wallace being "done" as of 1:30 PM PST

This. If not, his thin credibility takes a massive, massive hit. However, if he's the one that really breaks this news, then his credibility takes a substantial up-tick. Big moment for the baldfather.

 

[RoyToy]

Not counting on Jaynes being right at all.

And what's funnier still is the text of Jaynes' tweet:

Just got off the phone with an NBA source who says his team believes the Wallace-to-Portland deal is "done."

So his "source" from some other team (not CHA or POR, presumably) says his team believes that the deal is done. Does that even qualify as third-hand speculation?

I'll wait for the Weekly World News; it's more reliable.
