※ [本文轉錄自 BLAZERS 看板] 作者: Bbokie ( ) 看板: BLAZERS 標題: [Rumor]Rasheed、Patterson for Gasol 時間: Tue Aug 19 04:31:16 2003 上星期傳出來的謠言，拓荒者總管 John Nash 拒絕對此發表意見，不過在上星期的會談中，表示用 Rasheed、Patterson 換回 Gasol 是"equal value"！ http://www.oregonlive.com/weblogs/blazersblog/ http://www.jtthebrick.com/fanclub/news/All/article.asp?team=NBA&id=39138 Blazing The Trail - Pau, Priest, Patterson, and Portland Stuart Peschka 8/17/2003 Once again there was little to report on the trade front this week for the Blazers. I feel like we’re all stuck in a collective ice cube, being swirled around by a giant size Dean Martin in a highball glass while the rest of the world, i.e. the NBA, passes us by. More and more teams are making moves to improve themselves while we wind up and wind down faster than a sixty year old man in dire need of Viagra. A couple of notable events struck home this week, though. Arvydas Sabonis has been officially waived and just in the nick of time. By doing so now, the team will save $7 million towards the cap and an extra $7 million they would have had to have paid in luxury tax. The only bad part of the deal, besides Sabonis not playing with the team, is that the Blazers weren’t able to use him as bait to lure in some unsuspecting Memphis bass… Did I say bass? I meant brass. Trade talks have been rumored for awhile between Memphis and Portland. This week John Nash appeared on a local online radio broadcast which was perceived by some as the second coming, being such a rare occurrence. Essentially Nash stuck to the party line, making the central committee proud, refusing to divulge any secrets but hinting at a few things – notably the persistent Gasol for Wallace rumors. As any mind numbed NBA fan who spends countless hours studying the Sanskrit collective bargaining agreement rules knows, it would be difficult to trade the two for each other as their salaries are so far apart. Other players would have to be included in the trade. While Gasol is a great talent in my opinion, though he’s a “tweener”, I think most Blazer fans would feel a little slighted if we had to throw in three other players to make the deal work. Unless, of course, the fans were allowed to vote for those players online (goodbye Patterson, Stoudamire, and the rights to Jennings). I believe any trade that is going to go down now has to involve some legitimate form of backup center. Although I do hold some fancy to the idea of bringing Priest Lauderdale back from his current European road tour, if for nothing other than to see Lurch play basketball, I don’t think his body could hold up to any serious NBA minutes…After a couple of stairs the guy is moving enough wind to supply special effects in those cheesy Superman movies. I also believe that we will eventually find yet another point guard somewhere. Damon is a leader-type, it’s just unfortunate that most of his leading is going downhill into a ravine across the river near the swamp. I honestly hope Damon pulls his act together long enough to make an entertaining show of it this year. Some have also suggested that Jayson Williams be thrown in the Wallace – Gasol deal to make salaries match, to which I ask “Are you high?”. No seriously, I ask “Are you stupid?”. Jayson is flashier than a Vegas showgirl wearing nothing but sequins and dancing on top of the Luxor, but his play is inconsistent at best. Right now the only thing keeping him in line is the Jerry West secret police and the inhuman fear of the mummified form resembling Hubie Brown. There was also some activity regarding Rasheed Wallace this week and a young fan with an autograph request. Rather than getting into the nitty gritty which has been lavishly pulled and pecked apart, I’ll just summarize by saying that some parents today need Ritalin worse than their children. Next week, I Spy A Deal – John Nash and Steve Patterson reveal the enormous burden they have keeping a straight face while telling people they’re trying to deal players. Also, an update on Blaze the Blazer mascot – find out how you can help stop the madness. -- 呼太晚了先post原文上來，明天在看 :P -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 203.70.203.243
