KP wrestling with failure - Roy and Aldridge talks stalled

[Tince]

If anything could turn people against KP this would be it lol.

A bunch of people already have. KP's popularity is down at Nate's level now.

I still maintain that the best Jason Quick radio/chat moment was when he flipped out at the guys in the Blazer forum like Jet and cup in like 2004. He just went on this like three minute tirade about how they were always bashing him and didn't know half the stuff he did and how he kept so much of the 'negative' stuff to himself. It was truly great.

That has nothing to with this but Papa brought up the radio and it triggered the memory.

I think there were also times even last season where Quick was moody as hell. He got so reactionary one time about hating trade rumors and addressing them from fans, and then there was another time when he was so proud of this team and it sounded like he was going to cry.

The guy seems a little out there, but still is a good writer in terms of setting the scene or describing a scene.

LOL no.. but that was good.. thats Buster Bluth from Arrested Development.

 

[LOTBfan]

uncanny....

WTF? Just max out Roy for 5 years!

Getting Milsap will give a little leverage in the LMA contract negotiations.

Exactly. This guy can be or already is the biggest impact player the Blazers have had since Clyde Drexler. Bend over backwards for Brandon if you want him to stay in the red & black.

Man...

Last season we had so many last-second game deciding moments that we could've been called the cardiac kids.

Apparently that's carried over into the offseason.

I'm just gonn say this. I think that article, while maybe not straight bullshit, isn't true. There is just simply ZERO way that there's ANY logic behind that. My guess is that all parties involved are just waiting until our roster is finalized and the dust settles. You don't just NOT resign your two studs, who also happen to be the most liked guys on the roster. You just don't.

 

[ehizzy3]

this sucks reading this...totally deflating, true or not.

can we get a statement from the blazers or somebody?\

 

[Cake]

Mark Iavaroni is going to be named the new head coach!

 

[Minstrel]

this sucks reading this...totally deflating, true or not.

True or not? Even if it's not true, it's deflating? That's...odd.

Come on, people. Fuck KP? Are you serious?

I SAY FUCK JASON QUICK!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The idea that we would be this far in negotiations with Roy and LMA is odd. How big are their capholds? Are they larger than $10 mil/year? If not, we don't want to re-sign them until after we use our cap space.

Just odd story. It seems like Quick should have mentioned it in the article - it's relevant.

No cap holds

 

[MrJayremmie]

How you haven't fucking signed Roy yet to whatever the hell he wants is beyond me.

get my man Aldridge locked down also! Those are our cornerstones for the love of God.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Anybody else getting the feeling KP might only be cut out for running the draft and scouting talent? Goddammit

Not me. Look, remember that this is accroding to a jack-ass reporter who's knack for honest is questioned daily. Also, if this is somewhat true, it may have nothing to do with KP and everything to do with Vulcan.

Geeze, what a bunch of back stabbers around here.

 

[Sedatedfork]

That Roy is unsigned is particularly alarming and a signal that negotiations have snagged. Word is that Roy wants to sign for the maximum allowed five years, but the Blazers only want to commit to four years. A five-year deal would cost Portland about $82 million, although it won't be determined until the 2010-11 salary cap is set.

Translation: a source that I don't find credible or with any veracity told me a rumor that I wanted to print as a story.

 

[LittleAlex]

It has been said nearly 175 times in this thread but add one more voice to the mind boggled.

IF this story is true then WTF is KP thinking?

If the story isn't true, then Quick should be ashamed of himself for printing such bullshit.

Roy/Aldridge Talks Stalled

The Oregonian reports the Blazers want to sign Brandon Roy to a four-year extension, but Roy wants a five-year deal.
The newspaper also reports the team had hoped to sign LaMarcus Aldridge to a deal that would pay around $10M a year, but now that Toronto has signed Andrea Bargnani to a five-year $50M extension, the Blazers will have to pony up at least $11M per year for Aldridge.

Re: Roy/Aldridge Talks Stalled

The meltdown already happened last night.

 

[mook]

This is one of those threads where I'll probably just ignore until something actually happens. Quick's version sounds absurd. There's a vacuum of any other version. So might as well just wait until a grownup can explain what really happened.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

It is an EXTENSION. Whether we sign them now or after we use our cap space has no effect. It would only effect next year.

makes sense, thanks

 

[hasoos]

KP has turned into a total fucking dipshit in two years.

Re: Roy/Aldridge Talks Stalled

Sorry for the re-post.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Once again. KP is a great judge of talent. He hasn't really done anything else to garner all of this best GM ever praise.

 

[alex42083]

No worries, we'll let Brandon walk and we can get into the lottery again and show off how good our draft evaluators are and find the next Brandon Roy!
