Over the years, I've also gotten to know a few pretty powerful agents- not well, but well enough to be friendly. In the lobby the other night, I had one of them tell me, "I've got the backcourt help Portland needs. I've got the answer. I just need them to listen to me." I wasn't sure if he ...

... Where the Blazers turn now is uncertain. They remain $7.7 million under the salary cap, and there are factions within the management team that are pushing for Pritchard to stay put and save the cap space for the season, when the team can execute a financially uneven trade anytime before the February trading deadline. Pritchard himself has tried to promote the idea that a transaction-less summer is not the worst thing in the world. Mike Barrett: No one is surprised that Utah has reportedly matched the offer. It would have been shocking if they hadn't. As we stated a week ago, ...

Marc Berman: “More and more, I’m starting to think 2010 is a fantasy. It must be disheartening to guys like Harrington and Hughes, with expiring contracts, to hear that talk. Harrington lives in Vegas and still hasn’t shown up to a summer-league practice or game. We mentioned in today’s paper Lee and Nate have talked to each other about being disrespected by the franchise with the team’s reluctance to give them long-term deals because of 2010. When D’Antoni talked about wooing free agents in 2010 and mentioned the need for Danilo and Wilson to step up this season, he probably could’ve mentioned Lee and Nate, ...
