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.

Plus, Jason Quick was pretty cautious in his words late in the chat today and he mentioned specifically that he didn't want to say anything yet. Another clue that something is going on.

Didn't he also say that he's preparing a piece for tomorrow that he "can't talk about yet"?
Is he just pimping his column, or might we really start to hear names as early as tomorrow?

[my own speculation]I think it means a Jack and 2nd(s) for a mid-first/late lotto deal has been put together with team X but Portland is fielding other offers and still mulling things over as their phone has started ringing more frequently with the increase in buzz.[/my own speculation

I, for one, appreciate any shred of info. So you have my thanks.

I agree! Good post!

Re: deal coming soon
I'll believe it when I see it.
The fact that the trade is being discussed heavily now isn't a good thing IMO. Lots of time between now and the draft for teams to second guess themselves.

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

I dont think thats true. Wasnt there some big NBA news last year or the year before that during the finals? I dont remember what it was, but didnt it involve either the Lakers or Knicks?

it's when the trades hit the radio and tv that it isn't a good thing. Us talking about a trade with not players mentioned, isn't the same.

Exactly, that's why I asked. We all know MM wants Zach gone.
Don't know how he particularly feels about Jack, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jack were dealt and Blake were signed.
Look for Zach & Jack out, incoming player & pick, and maybe Blake signed?

True, but if its already being discussed on the message boards its usually just a matter of time before it leaks to the newspapers and radio.
