Blazers are tanking hard.:eek:

Felton to Lakers?

wow

did not see this coming

well damn... whats going on in Portland

Damn whats going on with Portland? They blowing up?

[QUOTE=Reverend Hoops]Felton to Lakers?[/QUOTE]

they can keep that bum.

[QUOTE=Reverend Hoops]Felton to Lakers?[/QUOTE]
who isnt going to the lakers?

so does this mean we can get wes matthews now?

I wouldn't be surprised if Camby retired. He's not going to be happy in Houston.

[QUOTE=Da Doc04]well damn... whats going on in Portland[/QUOTE]
Huh? Is it not obvious?

They are going into full rebuilding mode.

I was hoping the C's would throw JO's corpse and Wilcox's contract to get Camby.

They are building around Aldridge and the top 4-6 pick they envision getting from the Nets. They understand they won't win a championship with this roster or even make the playoffs so I assume they are rebuilding for next year.

Wow it's crazy how hard the Blazers have fallen off. Fire sale

Why can't the Heat trade for him? And why can HOU get quality Cs all the time? :confusedshrug:

If Knicks beat you by more than 40, time to break up the team. :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Reverend Hoops]Felton to Lakers?[/QUOTE]

We got Sessions :D

[QUOTE=LA_Showtime]I wouldn't be surprised if Camby retired. He's not going to be happy in Houston.[/QUOTE]

False. He actually lives there in the offseason.

Houston gave up NOTHING to get Marcus Camby? :facepalm Only Morey manages to do that.

[QUOTE=bagelred]If Knicks beat you by more than 40, time to break up the team. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Bingo.

Surprised how fast they decided to tank it though. Jesus.

The Rockets will send Jonny Flynn and Hasheem Thabeet to the Blazers, source tells Y! Sports.

Flynn, Thabeet, 2nd rounder to Portland

Camby helps Houston out. Chances to make the playoffs increased noticeably.

Someone explain to me why Portland makes this trade........seriously..........

Flynn, Thabeet and a 2nd rounder.

Two expiring contracts in Flynn and Thabeet. You can play them both and see if they will be "invigorated" by a new team. If not, no loss, they come off the books.

Dammit.

[QUOTE=LA_Showtime]I wouldn't be surprised if Camby retired. He's not going to be happy in Houston.[/QUOTE]

Camby has an offseason home in Houston.

[QUOTE=bagelred]Someone explain to me why Portland makes this trade........seriously..........[/QUOTE] because Camby is a dinosaur.

A friend just texted me with this trade... pretty puzzling. Obviously they're tanking but if you thought Portland was playing ugly basketball before, Flynn/Thabeet is only going to make it even uglier. Get ready for some rec center pick-up game level shit, particularly with Wallace gone as well. It's crazy to think this team amnestied Roy and was prepared to move on to greener pastures without him... mere months later, they're lottery bound.

Will Portland even win 5 more games before the end of the season?

LaMarcus Aldridge is PISSED right now.

[QUOTE=UtahJazzFan88]Camby has an offseason home in Houston.[/QUOTE]

So? I could've sworn he mentioned last year he'd retire if the Blazers traded him.

So the Blazers have 17 guys on the roster now, who they cutting?

I'm pleased but we could get better than this.

The Heat should try and steal Dalembert now. What's the point of Camby and Dalembert?


Boston could always try and get Dalembert. They need shot-blocking more than they need Kaman in the post. Seriously, Kaman's post game is not what Rondo wants. They're slow enough as it is.


[QUOTE=Droid101]LaMarcus Aldridge is PISSED right now.[/QUOTE]



I would think so...I'm pretty sure those guys are close. Tho I do think Chris Kaman is a good partner for LMA. Go after him in the Summer.

[QUOTE=Whoah10115]The Heat should try and steal Dalembert now. What's the point of Camby and Dalembert? [/QUOTE]

A) Houston wouldn't have signed Dalembert if they looked to move him a few months later, particularly not for a close-to-retired Camby. They like Dalembert.

B) Do you not get how the cap works or something? The Heat are $21 million over the cap this season as it is. They couldn't part with anybody in a trade without making an already thin depth chart even thinner, or taking on more salary.

I don't know the Heat's cap situation. Don't know if they have a TPE or anything.


I just don't see the value in having Dalembert at $7Million a year and Camby as well. Then again, maybe they just want depth for the season. Then again, I'd rather have just one and get a different piece. If I'm the Heat or the Celtics I'd rather have traded some expiring contracts for Camby's shot blocking than to try and grab Chris Kaman. I know Boston has those expiring contracts.

He lives down here in the offseason and always wanted to play here.

If you have seen the Rockets this year, they still get killed on the boards and over powered in the paint. Sammy doesn't solve out their woes. Campy helps them stay in the playoff hunt.

[QUOTE=Droid101]LaMarcus Aldridge is PISSED right now.[/QUOTE]

He shouldn't be. Aldridge should know as well as anybody that Camby has been poison this year. Next year, Alridge will get some lottery replacements for the loss of Roy and Oden, so he should be happy that this rebuild looks to be a quick one rather than delayed a couple years.
