Technical question

[BlazerCaravan]

Now that's just mean!

Not that the schmuck doesn't deserve it.

Repped.

Go Blazers

I wonder if any other fan base hates their local sports journalists more than we hate ours.

If there is one, we should challenge them to a bitch-off!

We'd totally win.

I can't imagine there's much love for Sam Smith in Chicago, and Peter Vecsey in NY.

I suppose my Q fits into this thread. Is there anyway for HOU to renege on the TRob deal if they suddenly find other teams offering more than POR?

Yeah you're probably right. They are a bunch of tools

But both of those guys feel "national" in scope; do they do a ton of whining about their local team almost exclusively?

No because we already accepted the trade right? He's officially ours now.

I believe the correct term for Peter Vecsey is Assflake

Is it? Haven't been following the updates today. Thought DWright was the only move finalized after the moratorium ended

No there was a tweet that said it was official and he will be joining the "SL"

ALso, they have video of him at shoot around

 

[illmatic99]

phew awesome

Yes. Wright & Crabbe's signings and Robinson's acquisition are all official. Lopez will come soon, but it's likely taking longer because it's part of a three-team sign/trade. CJ's signing will probably come last, since it will be for 120% of his rookie scale, and we'll want to preserve cap space as long as necessary.

They probably could, but it'd be in extremely poor form. It'd look real bad to everyone else around the league, except maybe the team that snuck in to steal him away. I'm not too worried, though. How many times have these deals that work out financially are reneged on.

But how could PDX post this then?

Remeber, Morey had already acknowledged the TRob deal last week, tweeting about how they were all in on Dwight, and how they would not have done the TRob deal if they didn't think they could get Dwight. It was basically unofficially official.

The order of these things does matter. Last year the Blazers hired a team of fast acting fax specialists to get their deals in before the Timberwolves otherwise you lose all your cap space. I applied for the job but didn't pass the test (it was grueling).

In the end it didn't matter as it took David Kahn over a week to realize he signed a player to an offer sheet with "implied" cap space; that worked fine in his powerpoint presentation or Star Trek but not in real life.

Check yourself homie. I didn't say the deal wasn't done. I was just saying that until it's actually done, a team probably could reneg on a deal consummated during the moratorium.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I like how there are Blazers fans commenting on the photo, asking how we got T-Rob. Where the F you been the last 10 days?

NO I feel ya man, but how can he practice in our facility unless he already did sign?

Well, to be fair, other teams' players practice in our PF fairly often. Free agents will also come work out on the own, just simply because they want to work out while in town, even if they're not coming to the Blazers.

But I was just answering the technical question. I had no idea whether or not the deal was official, which is why I didn't touch it in my answer.

I do see OLive now says the Wright and T-Rob deals are official. Other deals are pending.

I don't think there's anything binding, except that if a team ever reneged on verbal agreement, they might have trouble consummating trades with other teams down the line.
