Boozer says he thinks he will be traded...

Boozer told a Chicago area radio station that he thinks he will be traded. What does this mean for the Blazers? Any chance we will be involved in said trade?

Exception Question

homersolo — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:40:46 -0000

So I have a question about the trade exception. I know that we can't package it up with a trade, but could the following work:

Team 2 has a player (Player A) with a $11mil salary. We want said player. Team 2 also wants to receive expiring contracts.

Trade the exception to Team 2 for Player B, whose salary is about $3mil.

Then, trade Player B, Travis and Blake to Team 2 for Player A. We take on 11mil, they give up 11mil plus now they have the exception. Essentially, these deals would become Travis, Blake and Trade Exception for $11 player.

Can teams do this?

So I got a call saying that I've been selected to go down and get a pre-game t-shirt from the players for tonights game. Unfortunately, I don't have a ticket to tonight's game. Anyone have an extra ticket for tonight's game?

Pryz hot and bothered

Last night there was a bit where Joel looked absolutely pissed, and it wasn't at the Celtics, but at Bayless. I was surprised that it wasn't mentioned in the post-game recaps on here. Anyone have a clue what happened that infuriated Joel so much?

Got a Ticket! Where to tailgate?

So, I just learned I've got a ticket for the civil war, but I've never been to Reeser before. Does anyone have a suggestion on where should I tailgate? Are there a group of duck fans tailgating? Also, when should I try to get there? Will fans be tailgating in the morning like at Autzen or is it a late arriving crowd?

Let me know!!!!

Go Ducks. It's a Jolly Holliday with you, Ducks!

So the police presence at the game last week seemed oppressive. My dad and I walked around the outside ring near the entrances and we both noted how many cops, sheriffs, etc. there were and how it made us feel a bit uncomfortable. (Keep in mind I'm an attorney and have never been in trouble with the law and my dad hasn't been arrested to my knowledge, and we both still felt uncomfortable.) Anyone else notice this?

Batum signed with Blazers

homersolo — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:28:08 -0000

So, 95.5 just reported that Batum has signed a contract with the Blazers. The terms were not disclosed. This goes with Wheels thoughts. Is there anyway for the Blazers to get involved in negotiations with a Euro team so that they pay a Euro team to offer a multi-year deal with a player opt out option so we can bring him back here when he's ready?

Wheels thinks Batum in, Kap out

Ridiculously Stupid Trade?

I know that a lot of us here are glad we didn't draft the 'stache, but what about trading to get the 'stache (and the number 9 pick)?

In reviewing Ford's Mock Draft, he indicated that the Bobcats are looking for a big man who can play some center. I know Frye played the 5 for some periods during the summer. What if we did this:

Traded to the Bobcats: Jack, Frye, and #13 pick.

Traded to Blazers: Morrison and #9 pick.

It seems like a lot to give up to move up four spots and makes us a bit heavy on the SF (wiithout really establishing a dominant player - just a lot of potential). If we drafted a PG, we would have 4 on the roster so another move would need to be made.

That might allow a secondary trade of say Jack or Sergio for Seattle's second first round pick and a trade exception (they have several). Thoughts?
