This is a good thing.

Hedo realized that between he, Roy and LMA... he was not going to get the touches that he needs to be a good player. He is going to Toronto where he will get way more touches and be the man on the team. His wife likes Toronto too. They are going there.

Either that or Rudy talked to KP and said he would leave if we got Hedo, and KP said "ok man you got me by the balls."

What we need to do now is pry Ariza away from Houston, and\or get Milsap or Bass.

Joe Becker on Channel 8 reassures no Hedo to PDX
 
Re: This is a good thing.

This couldnt go into one of the many other threads about this?
 
With the richest owner in sports KP has not brought in 1 good free agent

There is just no excuse for this. As Barkley would say TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. 3 years and counting.

How is that "reassuring?"

KP spent all his resources and all his capspace on a mid-level (in a normal year) free agent, and still came up empty. Not only that, but while KP was pulling all the stops for this asshole, he got left behind in trying to pursue guys like Gordon and Ariza.

This is almost equivalent Hedo pulling a "boozer."

Go take your prozac.

go take that jersey off
 
So I assume he's going to Toronto?

If so, does that mean Marion might be available?
 
I would have preferred that Turk had accepted the offer, but I can't say I'm heart-broken that Portland didn't give a five year, $50 million deal to a non-impact player. Pritchard was right to take a shot at adding Turkoglu, but as it was, I was on the fence about his acquisition, leaning toward favouring it.

Hopefully, Pritchard can explore using the cap space creatively in trade.
 
I really think this is a good thing We just need a good backup PF now and we will be fine.
 
Well, I'm sure there was a plan B. Who can we hope for? Sessions or Odom would be near the top of mine.

I was agin him, then I talked myself into him. Goddamnit, I can talk myself out of him again!
 
Now Toronto is bidding by themselves... I can only assume they will try and lowball him, right?
 
I hope KP goes after J Chill now. Maybe in a S&T for Outlaw. Then go after Mcdyess, Powe or Bass to backup PF.
 
If not Millsap, how about 2 of Lee, Miller, M. Williams, and Childress?

Or trade for Josh Smith?

I would rather have Sessions or Odom than Turkoglu. Sessions is probably unavailable, being an RFA that Milwaukee seems intent on keeping. I hope Pritchard is considering Odom.

Why the Fuck would we want Gordon? And to a lesser extent why the fuck would we want Ariza when we have Batum. Big Fucking deal.
 
Rasta....You and I....same page. Deleted. Let's make this clear now...No disrespect to Greg Oden, the basketball player.

Ariza, I'm not hot on at all, but I would have liked Gordon.

i fail to see how odom helps the blazers. he's a good player, but he's by far at his most effective playing the pf position. the blazers already have aldridge there meaning that odom would end up seeing most of his minutes where he isn't best utilized.

Unless they want to renounce 3 - 4 players and end up rebuilding next summer after Bosh leaves with a 31-year old Hedo locked in for 4 more years and about $50 million.

I am simply baffled why Toronto would even want him, at any cost. Are they somehow delusional enough to think that Hedo takes them from a 33-win team to a contender? And what about next summer, after Bosh leaves? Adding Hedo isn't a big enough signing to convince Bosh to stay. Their roster is horrible. They should be shopping for three or four bargain priced role players, not one very expensive one. They are in a totally different place than Portland, but don't seem to realize it. Hedo to Toronto fucks two teams - Portland and Toronto.

BNM
 
I guess it is time for the lopsided trade approach.
 
Well, if Hedo went to Toronto, at least Marion would be freed up.
 
Rumors from the Realgm Raps board suggest he's getting a 5 year/ $56 million offer from Toronto.
 
Funny. ESPN article updated even 2 minutes ago still says he agreed to terms with Portland. LMAO!

I think if you offered me 4 million more, I might jump as well.
