    Indiana did not offer a max deal, and Hibbert is now leaning to Blazers unless Pacers match. One other unnamed team offered max.

    So, Omer Asik is just Portland's back-up booty?

    I certainly hope Pacers wait this out and keep Portland out of the Asik sweepstakes.

    Remember who Portland's GM is? Do you think he is fond of the Blazers?:cool:

    And Portland just drafted Meyers. I'd love to see Morey try to pry him away.

    Olshey is the GM who signed Deandre Jordan to a bad contract.

    Well, it's pretty much impossible to get Hibbert now... so yeah.

    We can dream cant we ?!



    I feel sick just thinking about that damn draft. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. No big , no trade ....


    Not that Im not warming up to the new players.

    And batum at sf. If that's true,they will elevate over a few teams in the west.

    If they manage to sign Hibbert at the max how will they afford Batum? Even if they manage to do that I don't know how good they'll become, a Hibbert-LMA-Batum frontcourt looks good on paper but I don't know how good Hibbert really is, paying the max for him seems like a Juwon Howard-esque move.

    Blazers making serious moves! Morey can learn from how they are trying to become contenders, because they are very similar with Roy and Oden injuries to our Yao and Tracy drama.
