Sorry for the late post but it was the 4th of July Weekend and I had other obligations to fulfill.
Hedo "Turkeysoup" not coming to the Blazers is immaculate news, BUT because of Kevin Pritchard's dubious decision making in pursuing this life-size clucking Turkey, the Blazers will missed out on key free agents steals of (gulp) Ron Artest and Trevor Ariza. I hate to tell you so Blazer fans, but your boy KP "muffed" the ball on this one and if you don't look at just all the great things he has done by ignoring some of the unholy things he has done (like most Blazer fans), well than you are a stubborn, blind, BUT die-hard Blazer fan! There's nothing wrong with being a fan and spitting out the truth and the truth here is that KP has now earned his third strike. That's right and here they are:
* Not firing Coach Muff
* Failing to pull the trigger on Devin Harris in exchange for Blake and Outlaw
* Overrating and overvaluing He-don't to miss out on bargain FA like (gulp-gulp) Artest and Ariza.
AND keep this in mind: The Blazers finished 4th in the Western Conference last year (tied w/Nuggets for 2nd but lost tiebreaker)... With teams like the Lakers and the Spurs improving and with a healthy Utah and San Antonio team this year, don't assume the Blazers will be contending for a title this coming year. I easily can put the Lakers, Cavs, Spurs, Celtics, Jazz, and maybe the Nuggets all ahead of the Blazers right now w/no improvements to the team. Until some more changes are made, that's the bald face truth...
