Re: deal coming soon

I was just reading the realgm thread, and someone just posted that Canzano just reported on 1080 that the Blazers have aquired a pick around the 11 area. Anyone confirm this?

I also didn't see where I was quoted.

Re: deal coming soon

The TBpup guy over there said that he thinks the deal he knows of is for a lower pick than that.

Re: deal coming soon

Okay, so what have we heard so far:

1. Two sources say a deal is coming soon, and have indicated it is a big one: One source says "hold onto your shorts", another source says "get ready for some fireworks on the trade front".
2. The partner is not in our Division.
3. The deal does not involve Shawn Marion.
4. Rashard Lewis has chosen Orlando over Portland.
5. We should start hearing the team names in at least a week.
6. At least 2 other offers have come in since this buzz started, and were turned down.
7. Target (aside from at least 1 un-named player) is another 1st round pick in the lotto range.

Please add reports from real sources to this list as they surface, NOT speculation.

Thanks,

PBF

Re: deal coming soon

I've been batting it around with some friends and they made a great point. The likely reason why nothing can be announced is due to the NBA Finals. There's an unspoken rule that while you can make deals, you don't announce them during the NBA's showcase event.

If something's going down, we likely won't hear about it until after the NBA Finals.

Lower meaning lower, not lower meaning higher. As in Portland got a high pick in the draft

Thanks for the correction, Sam. I knew I got a wire crossed somewhere there.

Those of us trying to sleuth the pieces together rely on accurate info.

BTW, the fact that more than one poster on two different forums started dropping this info at the same time tells me the Blazers *want* this information out there.
