Its on now, other teams should be ready for the Pritchslap. He is ready to fleece your team.

Did I mention its DRAFT NIGHT!!! The most exciting time of the year for me, especially since we have the best GM in the game. I have never seen more rumors surrounding one team, and that means Kevin Pritchard’s mind games have begun.

Their are about 12 different trade rumors going on right now that some how factor in the Blazers. Its ridiculous to even try to keep up. I expect to be “Shocked & Awed” by what happens tonight with the Blazers.

The newest rumor has been surrounding New Jersey giving up their number 10 spot to the Blazers. Here is a quote from this mornings podcast from the Blazers beat writer Jason Quick.

“The Portland Trail Blazers have intensified discussions with the New Jersey Nets about moving up into the 10th pick of the NBA draft with intentions of taking Texas point guard D.J. Augustin.

The Blazers would send the 13th and 33rd picks in Thursday’s draft, along with guard Jarrett Jack, to the Nets. New Jersey also would send guard Trenton Hassell to the Blazers.”

Now thats big stuff happening their. I think we might trade the pick, but it’s crazy to think about. We are trading our 13 pick, plus 33rd, and we are dropping Jack. We all want him gone, but then we will have the 10th pick, and the 27th from New Orleans. How the f*ck does KP do that ?

I honestly think we wont pick D.J. Augustin, we will trade all of our picks away for either a higher pick, or trade for some real serious.

I was glancing over at Hoophype.com and almost every other rumor surrounds the Blazers. It’s insane. The David Lee trade has me excited as well.

“According to executives with two teams, the Knicks are discussing a swap of first-round picks with Portland. The Knicks would send the No. 6 pick, forward David Lee and another player to the Trail Blazers for the 13th and 27th picks and a player, possibly Steve Blake or Jarrett Jack. (Portland is acquiring the 27th pick from New Orleans.)”

I love David Lee’s style of play, he is a furious slasher and likes to play the up tempo game, thats why I dont see it happening since D’Antoni is their now.

Other trades are surrounding Jermaine Oneal, TJ Ford, and a slue of other trades.

Kevin Pritchard is a god. He pisses off all the old school GM’s but he gets the job done. He is aggressive and wants a championship probably more then some of the players.

Kevin Pritchars is hands down the best GM in the game. (If we exclude Danny Ainge)

I have never seen anything like it. I am betting we see another draft trade record this year with the Blazers.

Every player in the league should just start packing their bags around draft time, because KP signed a deal with the devil and he is coming for you!

Were Back, with a hand up in your face!

So the season and the Finals are finally over, and the Draft is coming up this week. So we decided to start bringing it back to you guys. Already we have heard a lot of rumors about trades, draft picks, pretty much every scenario possible.

So lets catch up…

Rudy Fernandez is on board! This is great news. I have not heard if he will be playing in Vegas this summer or not. I would assume so.

GO, is ready to tear heads off. He is stronger, bigger, more refined then ever. He has been working on his hands, quickness, and a sweet 12 foot jump shot. We have heard from many sources that they think Greg is the strongest center in the game right now.

Channing Frye, he is looking great. He has been working on facing up, and spreading his game out. He has been working a lot at his three point shot. He is trying to work on playing a big 3, Like a Sheed, or Mehmet Okur type. Which is great. We love Channing and we cant wait to see what he has added to his arsenal.

Now we have not heard a lot about the other guys McRob has been training with GO in Indy, but other then that just straight trade rumors.

You probably have heard them all as well, but lets do a quick recap of whats been hitting the regular gravy train of crap theories, from all the guys that have a bit of TOD. (Touch of Downs)

As always our man Trout is up on the block according to the Columbian, the Oregonian, and many other sources. It seems like an on going thing to put Trout up on the block. Mike Miller has been linked to this trade as well. Either it be a Jarrett Jack, Trout, trade for Mike Miller, or a Jarrett Jack, Martell Webster. We think that this would not be a good trade. Maybe a Jarrett Jack, Martell Webster, for Mike Miller would work out for us, but makes no sense for Memphis. Martell and JJ are not proven enough for another team to give up one of their leading scorers. So I say bunk, on this trade. But at the same time they have one of the dumbest GM’s in the game. (GASOL, BROWN Trade.)

Second is the Martell, plus the 13th pick, for Leandro Barbosa. Which would be nice, but I don’t see that happening either. Same reason as the first trade rumor. Barbosa is proven. Martell is great, he can do a lot, but it makes no sense to me.

If we are going to move someone we need a Point, or a stunning 3 point shooter. Mike Miller is that shooter, but to me Trout should not even be on the table. Unless we are talking a Chauncey Billups, TJ Ford, like point coming to town. But Trout is Trout, he is only going to get better. That guy is going to have an insane season this year. He could easily be the leading scorer of the Blazers if got the minutes. He is our Kobe killer, and he fills that void.

To me this is all part of KP’s mind control scheme on other GM’s. He loves it. To me I think it is funny he is even having all these pre draft tryouts. I think we all feel like he is going to probably trade out for a Vet. Or which I hope. My trust is in that guy, look what he has done for us so far.

Now to the part we all hate. Who we need to drop even though we might love them.

Jarrett Jack, sorry but we all love him at times, but he is not setup for us. He needs to go, and we need a tried and true point.

Raef, sucking up money like crazy, not producing anything except an ass print on the bench. Somebody will most likely pick him up, I see something possibly going on with New Jersey. They want expiring contracts bad, Raef is up after this season, so New Jersey would have to pay him his 12.2mil for only a season. Good for us.

To me these are the guys that should have U-Haul on speed dial.
Jarrett Jack, Sergio, Martell, Raef, McRob, Steve Blake.

This is going to be such an exciting Week, the BoomSHAK will be all over the rumor mill and the Draft. Get ready folks, we might see something huge, or we might not see anything. But KP is aggressive, and he is the best GM in my mind. He is a straight HUSTLER. So keep your eyes and ears open! I truly see something big happening.

To kill some time listen to this great interview with Channing Frye. Smart guy, and gives some great insight to GO’s game.
