The trade isn't even finalized yet, correct?

They announced it on draft day, so I assume it was finalized then.

Who announced it? Not the NBA

Blazers released a press release. I'm not sure, but I don't think teams are allowed to talk about the specific players unless the trade has already gone through. When the Bayless trade was delayed, they couldn't talk about Bayless specifically for like a week. So by that measure, it should be official.

Who won the kickball game? Did the referees suck? Did Keebler & Smith look like they're worth signing or did they hurt their value with a weak game? Are Keebler & Smith cookies? Any new knee injuries? I missed it...did Comcast black it out?

I just heard from an inside source that Smith blew his knee out rounding 2nd!!!

As sad as that would be, I'd still laugh my head off in disbelief at our luck.

It's OK though, since the Blazers knew about his pre-existing condition. Preventative micro-fracture surgery is planned, which will keep him out one full season.
