@ripcityproject perhaps having no GM today was a blessing in disguise.

See, and all of you guys thought he had no plan.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I don't get it

 

[BGrantFan]

The Blazers had no cap space or and key FAs to resign.

I wouldn't have minded somebody getting on the horn to offer JJ Reddick or Drew Gooden the MLE for 3 years, though.

EDIT - as Fez said, I don't get it.

 

[EGame]

Yeah, what? I am confused.

 

[Minstrel]

I don't get it

He means, no GM = no action = no massively bad contracts signed after a day of them

The Blazers weren't in a position to offer anyone a large contract, though.

All of these terrible FA signings ... we were lucky not to have a GM to go out and make them (forget about having no capspace for a second.)

OK then, we were both lucky to not have capspace and a GM to waste it

Shit, you guys are over thinking this.

 

[BGrantFan]

Conversely, maybe the "close" Chris Paul deal gets done today with the guy who was swinging for the fences still on board.

Instead, it's the Wesley Matthews/Jordan Farmar show!

pedantic much?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Meh. Our owner, Al Davis II, is not crazy as a fox- he's senile as Bill Cosby.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Drew Gooden's contract is beyond crazy.

What's next, Adam Morrison with a 5year/$35m deal?

I'm guessing that PA hated KP's proposed trade for Paul, nixed it - then fired his ass.

When Nate heard he might be stuck coaching Paul, he almost had a nervous breakdown. He convinced PA to fire KP, and to take all the blame.

Dang, that Nate is crafty!
