Otis sure knows how to ruin the mood around here.

4 1st rounders for Gerald freaking wallace? Wow, no way. Other Blazers had to be in that deal.

Otis had to be hitting the crack pipe pretty hard to even consider that.

Billy "the master of muli-team deals" King :lol:

... what a joke

Earlier tweet has them offering 2011 picks. Meant 2012 + every other year thereafter. Sorry.

How were we set to get 5 first rounders, AND POR would get 4 picks? Where did all these picks come from? wrong info is wrong.

Those picks are worthless with Dwight on that team, though.

If big baby can even pull off 50% of what KG does for a team in the locker room it could work for this team. He is a "vet" who has a ring and a good amount of the team is younger than him so they should respect him.

Hoping that Dwight seeing that, and playing with everyone is changing his mind.

So Brook Lopez and 5 2nd round scrubs

We counter with Ryan Anderson, Jameer, JJ, & FOUR 1st Rd picks for DWill

Jarrod Rudolph:
Whatever the Magic may think about people trying to pull D12 to Nets it doesn't change anything. They still need to get him help ASAP. about 13 minutes ago

Four of those first rounders were supposedly going to Portland, we would've received Wallace, Lopez and one of those picks.
