I think it is safe to say you are running the blazers and I want to thank you for the moves you have made. For the 1st time in years, I am really excited about the upcoming season. I understand it may be too early to talk playoffs, but at least there's hope. The best move by far is the move for magloire. This gives us 2 of the top 10 centers in the west. I just don't know why it took so long to get you in there and nash out considering the guy ran this team into the ground. There's only one move left to make, which hopefully you already know about, But I am sure that is the top prority right now. I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work.

Ps. Is there any chance of resigning magloire in the offseason? "

and heres what he wrote back

Yes. There is a chance we sign him. Depending on how he plays.

"Kevin Pritchard offers the Blazer thoughts. Bad sign: he says it was really Steve Patterson's trade. He says that he hopes Magloire will play his tail off, and the team will reward him with a nice contract. He said the team didn't get him to trade him. The Blazers are so deep in the front court: Joel Przybilla, Jamaal Magloire, LaMarcus Aldridge, Zach Randolph, and Raef LaFrentz. Pritchard did say that at the trading deadline, teams tend to call looking for big guys. And don't forget next summer is chock full of big free agents, many of whom will be candidates for sign-and-trade deals. Having a free agent of your own with full Bird rights next summer could be incredibly valuable."

Maybe you should emailing Patterson.

I didn't read that. I just figured it was his deal or he had everything to do with it. I don't care who was in charge honestly, i just like the trade a lot.

Pritchard already said that this move was Pattersons move and not his. He also said that they are very interested in re-signing Magloire and that one of the things that they liked about the trade is that they will have full bird rights to Magloire so they can sign him to whatever he is worth, but with Blake they only had early bird rights so they would be limited to the MLE.

All of this can be heard in a very good interview here.http://www.basketballboards.net/foru...d.php?t=292600

Most posters on this board were giving credit to Pritchard yesterday.

Anyways, pretty cool that Pritchard emailed back. What time did you email and when did you get the response?

sent it the 31st and got a response today. I sent him another response with nothing in return yet. I just said resigning magloire also depends on how well aldridge,pryzbilla and lafrenz play. if we resigned magloire, maybe we could look to deal lafenz with miles, even though I think we're stuck with him.

Good luck. LaFrentz has a huge contract that is just about impossible to give away and will be until he's an expiring. Miles...if he improves. I doubt we'll be able to give away LaFrentz...Boston had a lot of trouble with that.
