Adrian Gonzalez - Questions from a Padre Fan

Congratulations on landing Strasburg. Was a pleasure to watch him excel this year at SDSU. I am not going to lie, I was hoping you could not get a deal done. Sorry about that :) We(The Padres) are currently in a pickle in that we don't want to spend money, seems like we never do. After hiring the young Jed Hoyer away from Boston, talk around town is that Adrian Gonzalez may be traded. Consecutive gold glove wins over Albert Pujols, went for 40HR & his BB numbers were astounding. What value does he have to the Nationals? Because I really would hate to see him moved to a team like the Red Sox or ugh Mets.
What do you think the chances are the Padres could put a package together to send A-Gonz to DC & send Strasburg back home. If you noticed last year, the Padres have them self quite a young pitching talent in Mat Latos - Not Strasburg type of course but a talented young player none the less. Padres are also trying to rid themselfs of the towering Chris Young, who has proven when healthy to be a hell of a pitcher. So let me ask you, do you think the Padres got the stuff to put a package together to bring Strasburg back home?

Rubio trying to send a message?..
As some already know Ricky Rubio the Über talented young Spanish Point Guard. Known for his knowledge of the game & defense, recently signed with Real Madrid. Drafted 5th overall in the 2009 NBA draft by the Minnesota T'Wolves. Let me ask you a question. Who are the two biggest names in the history of the Real Madrid Basketball team? Arvydas Sabonis(Blazer) & Dražen Petrović(Blazer) Among the teams he mentioned that he would like to be a part of pre draft(in the midst of many big market teams) was Portland. Playing along side his countryman, knows this team needs a PG... Rumors were flying about Pritchard attempting to move up, for the Wizards #5 pick(Costed the T'Wolves Mike Miller & Randy Foye, talent I believe the Blazers could matched or exceeded). Numerous times by the Blazers staff they have mentioned that Rubio has been on their radar for years. It is quite scary to think how far ahead he is, compared to Tony Parker when he came over from France. What do you think it would cost the Blazers to acquire the rights to Ricky? I have a feeling Przybilla going back to his home-state would be involved as their backup pivotman.
What a wonderful day at the Portland Antique Show, at the Expo center. I was meandering the rows, looking for Blazers merchandise as I do every year. Leaned up against a wall in the back, I I found the latest addition to my collection.
Feast your eyes on a Limited Edition Sabas Rookie Poster, framed. For ONLY 10 $ I was truly excited, it is already hung up on my wall. Tell me your thoughts on it & since its the off-season feel free to reminisce about classic Sabonis moments.

Question about the Spaniards...............
Take a look at what Pau Gasol looked like as a rookie... http://www.nba.com/media/gasol1_627.jpg(For some reason I can't link 3+ photo's on Blazers edge) Now look at him... I mean, Rudy already has a pretty decent beard. What is he going to look like, when he is 30+?

The "Icing On The Cake" Revealed

Pritchard was planning something big, something that will use our free cap space this year. It appears Turkoglu is going to get signed, by the Blazers. But is he going to play for the Blazers? I am wondering to my self, how much of a better fit would The Matrix be ? He looked much better in Toronto then Miami. His per game average has some pretty good company .(Kersey, KG, Nance)

Seeking records of team pace info
I would like to see the average stats of players on the teams that are historically slow like ours. Anyone know where I can find that?

Warren Moon Celebrity Bowling Event(Oden's been gambling)
This weekend was the Warren Moon Celevrity Bowling Event in Las Vegas. The event raised money for scholarships for kids who dont have the chance to go. Friday there was a recption and interviews, saturday was the event then after party. There was alot of celebrities there i had a great time plus it was my first time in Vegas since ive been 21. I didnt lose too much money but im not gonna lie i really like blackjack. Im very thankful to Warren Moon for inviting me to the event. Barkley was another big man who gambles & he had a nice career(probably didn't have the surrounding talent Oden does)...
The Real PG Of The Future
Jamelle McMillan SUN DEVIL DATA:Pure point guard who improved who progressed last year and made some big shots down the stretch, as you will see in other's bios that "best clutch shot" is answered by a few as Jamelle's left-handed drive in Tucson. With just over two minutes to play and the shot clock winding down and ASU leading by six, McMillan drove the lane and used the hoops as a protector to give ASU an eight-point lead (57-49) that would be the last field goal ASU would score in its come-from-behind win at Tucson on Feb. 11, marking ASU's first sweep of the Wildcats since 1995. Had a great summer experience, as he spent 16 days with Team USA in China as dad Nate was an assistant coach. One of the top point guard recruits on the west coast from last year who led his high school team to three state titles (2007, 2005 and 2004) in his four years and gained a reputation as a great lockdown defender and a terrific distributor. Once scored 64 points in Boys & Girls Club game...okay, it was second grade, but you get the feeling of how long he has been around the game. Played high school hoops in the talent-rich Seattle area and his team won more than 100 games in his four years. Last summer, in its "Best of the Pac-10" with regards to recruiting classes, Rivals.com gave McMillan its best defender award. He is the son of former NBA player and current Portland Trail Blazer head coach Nate McMillan and was ranked as the top point guard on the west coast by Rivals.com and was No. 99 overall player by Scout.com heading into last year.
The Case For Ron-Ron

In this post I am going to be making my case for the Blazers to sign Ron Artest. Rather then other 10 million dollar options, like Andre Miller, Kirk Hinrich or Hedo Turkoglu.
