And KP does not want to make a trade .... OMG .. Why Not
The Winning Streak was great and all but i think it could be a bad thing cause now KP is VERY reluctant to make a move. I realize they are all friends and do not want to rock the boat but last i checked the NBA was about Winning and not a "Friends Club". The Blazers even in the few wins they have gotten have been very lucky.
KP remove your head from your rear and look for a trade that can improve this mini mess.

I can't say I agree. Portland obviously sucks at a few key areas. But there is 0 reason to do anything drastic that doesn't improve the team in the long range. Obviously if you can snag the second coming of Danny Fortson (without the tude) somehow you might as well. But I don't see why Portland shouldn't wait this out and let the pieces continue to fall as they may.

I am not saying make a trade to make a trade like ANY trade will solve this teams problems. However and i know part of it is GM speak but for some reason i believe KP will do nothing cause everyone on the team are friends.
If i was GM i would look to trade Webster and then one of the 2 -- Sergio or Jack
Now what really concerns me is KP going to make that choice with the team in mind OR will the mindset IF he trades Sergio then Rudy might be more inclined to stay in Europe where he will be offered a TON of $$ compared to what he will make in the NBA.

To put it bluntly, I think you're overreacting and letting your imagination run a bit wild.
There might not be any moves made during the season, but I can pretty much guarantee KP will have another active summer. He has to with the way the roster is currently set up.

It just amazes me how much they whine. I mean, Najera was in the semi-circle on that Blake drive! If anything it should be a foul on him!
@ Ripcity: I know we've become a bit spoiled with this winning, but we can't fall into the "quick fix" mindset. Oden is our fix there and he's coming. Now I wouldn't say no to a trade for a PG like DH if the price is right, but let's not trade our future for a few more rebounds now.
