[Wheels]

[ODENISGOD]

mike bibby LOL! Now that would be the cherry on top of this royal F up by KP.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

how did you get on un-ignore?

Funny. Same quote, and I'm wondering how I put him/her on ignore.

Somewhere in Portland KP is taking a crying rape shower

Yeah that would be interesting. The most recent one I see is from last night at 10:23.

The post said basically that Hedo wasn't coming and it was all about money, which is okay from Barrett's perspective.

I read it after it was posted and there had been 18 comments to the article. Odd that it was taken down.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow, crazy. One was posted not long ago and now I go back and it's from yesterday??

That's just sad. I read the article, and there was nothing in it to cause the team to get their panties in a twist. I hope the don't do something really classless, like try to claim that they never offered Hedo a deal, were never seriously interested in him, blah-blah-blah.

Ben from Blazersedge just got a message the blazers tech guy saying there was a CMS glitch and that Barrett's blog should be back to normal in a bit.

Saw this on another site. It's actually from maxamillion711. Hilarious!

 

[e_blazer]

Man, I'm never going to get the five minutes back that I spent making my nifty Turkey Glue avatar.

Back to the drawing board.

 

[alex42083]

So when's Toronto come to town next season? I'd like to see us kick their ass by 40 plus points. Booooooo to Hedo and your wife!!

That happens sometimes. To wit:

OT: Please don't say he "Turkey slapped" KP

I threw up a little in my mouth when I read that.

Here's why.

Rudy should really be saying "THIS..IS...SPARTA!"

Fuck me. David Aldridge says Portland offered Hedo a $57 million contract.

A league source divulged late Friday that Portland's offer to Turkoglu was actually $57 million over five years, not the $50 million that has been reported. But by deciding to renounce their rights to the free agents, the Raptors can give Turkoglu a deal averaging more than $12 million annually.

How the fuck is that even possible? We didn't have that much room.

Well it's tough to know how much it is until the salary cap is set, right?

I wonder if we were going to renounce Koponen and Freeland...

I'm a bit happier that Hedo passed with these kinds of numbers emerging. As soon as we sign another player that's about as good as Hedo I'll be entirely over it.

LOL genius.

 

[alex42083]

$57 million??? No way Hedo is worth that freakin' much.

 

[Chutney]

$12mill a year? Fuck me... That better be fake.

Maybe they had a deal in place to send someone out for a TPE? That would clear more thanenough space to do that.

We are sitting at about 7.5. Simply renouncing Freeland and Koponen would get us close to that number

Geezus, Hedo's got a good agent.

Right now, I kind of feel like throwing just about everything at Caron Butler. :/

 

[Minstrel]

At $12 million a year, I think this concept is becoming quite relevant:

[Kaydow]

Who knows what to believe until Hedo himself explains why this went down the way it did. According to Ric Bucher, it wasn't about money. Portland just wasn't "cosmopolitan" enough for Hedo and his wife. Ouch.

If this is true - I'm glad we didn't sign a candyass who wants to play in a "cosmopolitan" town.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Wow hearing that he got 12 million a year. Grats to him, sorry to Toronto, and am glad it wasn't us. He was a good fit at 50/52 million, not at 60.

 

[julius]

karma will have a funny way of paying back Hedo.

*Hard to pin this one on KP, but I'm sure people will.
