Rip City Project | A Portland Trailblazers blog — ... Ric Bucher (who tweeted over the weekend Portland is looking for Hedo signed straight up and a sign-and-trade for Andre Miller) on the latter half (Insider) of his Top 20 free agents. Portland is listed as a “Best Fit” for half of them, and Channing Frye surprisingly turns up at No. 20. And here’s a ...

Blazers Blog — ... . ESPN's Ric Bucher has his Top 20 FAs (Insider) , including each player's best fits for teams. Monday Bucher unveils 11-20, Tuesday it's players 1-10.

Free Agency, Day (Minus) 1
The Human Highlight Blog — ... million dollar fantasies of Hedo Turkoglu. This might make sense if the Raptors were a player away and they knew Chris Bosh were staying, but signing Hedo to a 5 year deal going into his Age 30 season doesn't make a lot of sense in their current position. As for the fits for the Hawks, while CV31 has already been identified by Sekou, we believe that Drew Gooden might be a better fit for the Hawks. We spoke highly of Gooden's production in our initial look at the free agents and now ESPN's Ric Bucher listed Gooden as a Top 20 free agent target (Insider req) and suggested that ...

Free Agency: Go Time
The Human Highlight Blog — ... immediately--before the Hawks changed their minds--but the HHB has been wayyy wrong before. What else we learned on Tuesday: We learned that Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur are not simply dumb jocks---they took their 12.3 and 9.0 million respectively and decided to stay put for one more year--until the cap friendly Summer of 2010. This puts the Jazz precariously close to luxury tax territory and having to make a tough choice on their own restricted free agent, Paul Millsap. Our buddy, Ric Bucher, was kind to the Hawks today (Insider required) as he listed the ATL as potential ...

Blazers Blog — ... of player personnel with the Jazz and is more familiar with Millsap than most. Add to that, Millsap is one of the best up-and-coming big men in the league after a breakout season in 2008-09 as a result of Jazz starter Carlos Boozer's injury woes. Millsap averaged 13.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals, all career-highs. He also connected on career-highs of 69.9 percent from the free throw line and 53.4 percent from the field in 30.1 minutes per game.

Truth About It - Washington Wizards Blog — ... Charlie Villanueva - The guy can shoot, but his defensive/rebounding numbers are dead last. Combine that with what it might cost to get him and I’ll pass. As Ric(k) Bucher puts it when talking about the ‘right system’ for Charlie: “Any that can put four quality defenders on the floor, because a winning team can’t afford more than one bad one and Charlie has that locked up.” Yea, I just spit up my drink too. ...
