I wanna hear the Cho excuses now. Sucker GM been holding us back. All he did was tank and create cap space and y'all glorified him. Haha.

I'm kind of having the same reaction. Hate to lose Vonleh but its not like he did anything of note last season. No reason to think he could have made major contributions this year but that's the risk you take. Guy might blow up in two or three years but then again he might not.

Waits for Woj to send a correct tweet and its Zeller instead of Vonleh.

Zeller had no value on the market. According to the guy with the sauces Cho offered Zeller and Hendo for Batum but Portland preferred Vonleh instead of Zeller. Smart move by them.

Zeller is safe. I know that got you doing backflips.


Would've been just as good if not better if it was Zeller and not Vonleh. I like Batum

They've been shopping both Zeller and Vonleh for wings imo. Blazers just came in with best offer. It will be interesting to see selection 9 tomorrow night to say the least. If Turner is selected, it's bye bye Cody as well.

Cho has now lost back to back trades. This hurts.

Blazers fleeced us. Only bright spot out of this is that we finally got rid of Hendo. Damn, we couldn't even get Portland's pick at least with Batum?

I think it's Turner. He has range PLUS shot blocking.

I think Cody is still on the chopping block.

i'll go ahead and out myself. I was way high on Batum a couple years ago when he got signed as a restricted free agent. High as a kite. I got in arguments with a couple of my friends who said he wasn't good and I defended him. I've defended him all the way up until last year when I finally decided it just was never going to work for Batum. I guess now I may try to defend him again.

You do realize with the Hawes and Batum trades, Cho probably got a mandate from Jordan to make the playoffs or get fired right? If anything, blame Jordan for wanting to treadmill.

You guys are going to be forced to resign Batum for $25 million a year next year now with the cap explosion.
