Knicks - Blazers blockbuster

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Shump has a sprained mcl and is scheduled for another MRI.

Safe to say that he's not being dealt.

Thank god because he's total shit.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

I said it early on this season...Carmelo would make us a true contender.

 

[jlprk]

13 1/2 hours!!!

I like your attitude!

 

[jlprk]

Are you all staying up till the deadline?

 

[Rhal]

Are you all staying up till the deadline?

As sad as it is to say, I will be. I find it to hard to sleep at the deadline and obsess about everything that could happen and I love Basketball in general so every trade and trade scenario is of extreme interest to me.

 

[Sinobas]

If we were to get Anthony, we should trade LA. Not sure those two would work well together.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It'd be like Roy ball again - heavy ISO with LA getting the leftovers.

 

[Rhal]

I think those two could be a devastating combo together. Melo is great in the post when he wants to be and having LA out near the middle of the court would open up space for Melo to work down low and at other times Melo could draw the defensive focus in the middle of the court and give the ball to LA in the post to work 1 on 1 with. Would require both players to get a good chemistry together but I think it could work.

 

[Sinobas]

Trade LA for Rondo. Rondo starts at PG and helps our defense.

Rondo
Lillard
Matthews
Anthony
Lopez

They'd just take turns going one on one.

I would if news were emerging about Blazer moves. In other words, if I had 5 sites full of rumors to keep me busy. I used to have a few but every time my computer breaks I get a new one and have to rebuild my Bookmarks/Favorites.

I'v found Twitter to be more active then rumor sites at the moment.

Rondo
Lillard

Anthony
Lopez

I just saw this lineup and needed to go change my pants.

Okay, everybody list your rumor sites, including Twitter.

All you need is Woj.

 

[Rhal]

All you need is Woj.

He Tweets when its almost official or just became official. Half the fun is all the reports of trades that then break down.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Any tweets about the Blazers sitting on there hands?

A few talked about the Blazers fielding and making a lot of calls, so Olshey is doing his due diligence but no one seems to think we will make a move.

[jlprk]

When teams are about to trade someone, they sit him to ensure against injury.

But with all our "injuries" we can't trade anyone.

 

[jlprk]

A year ago, all that Olshey did was Giorgos Printezis, cash, and imaginary trade exception space for Eric Maynor. He waived Ronnie Price to make room.

If he again does nothing, he will start to rival Pritchard as a Midseason Trade Deadline do-nothing GM.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

According to Haynes, there is nothing on the trade front involving the Blazers right now.

Unless you are ready to jump to a conclusion (I don't see how you can) on CJ, he really doesn't have any assets.

Paul Allen's probably nixing them all.

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Cavs obviously talking to numerous teams on many fronts, but I'm told one newer focus for them is potential deal for Philly's Spencer Hawes
