Bye Bye Bassy?

There is a rumour going around that the Blazers may ship Telfair to Boston for Dickau and the number 7 pick. Since there is some chance either Roy or Gay could be there at 7, let's just say I could not be more giddy about this idea.

Blazers: Please, please, please pull the trigger on this one.

This may also be a sign that I was right when I predicted Jack would be the PG of the future the moment he was drafted, only a year after they completely botched their pick and took Telfair about 13 picks early.

More on the draft tomorrow.

Looks like Portland made that trade which I think is fantastic.

Here's my top 10 prediction:

1. Bargnani
2. Ty Thomas (will be part of a trade)
3. Morrison (Word is it is Gay or Morrison and even though word is Jordan doesn't like Morrison, he may be gunshy about passing on a guy like this after the whole Kwame fiasco)
4. Aldridge (The right pick anyway and Charlotte would be doing the Blazers a huge PR favor by picking Morrison)
5. Sheldon Williams (could be Roy and then a trade, but I think Atlanta doesn't want what Houston has to offer and this is their guy, but it's a mistake)
6. Roy (I think they'll decide that if they keep KG, they need his toughness and either way who knows if McCants is ever coming back)
7. Gay (best case scenario for PDX. In the first two picks they have their replacements for Zebo and Miles and can keep trying to offload those guys to the knicks)
8. Foye (would be Reddick if not for his back which will be all too familiar to Houston. by the way, I think Foye is going to be great)
9. O'Bryant (the only guy they care about and this is only if they can't swing a trade, but I don't think they can and so he's their guy)
10. Simmons (for NJ, though I wonder if they couldn't be the missing 3rd team in the AI to Boston deal. Maybe Philly gets Rashard and Swift or something like that)

10 things that will happen, not "might", "will."

With the season kicking off tonight, every where you look in the paper, on TV or on line people are making their predictions. Well, I’ve read enough, so now I need to share with you what’s really going to happen. These aren’t predictions, this just simple fact. Here are some of the things that will happen in football before Tuesday morning: 1. Deuce McAllister will post better numbers than Reggie Bush this week, but Bush will do something that will remind us all of Sanders and Vick. I see one of those 6 yard runs that takes 2 minutes where about 8 guys miss tackles. 2. The Niners will not be as bad as everyone predicts and the game against the Cardinals will be close 3. TO will have a big game and everyone will act like nothing ever happened and the Cowboys (especially the Tuna) are geniuses for signing him. In 3 weeks when he really melts down, the media will forget everything they said and act like Dallas is the stupidest franch...

Odds and Ends

I don't have time this week to do a recap of last weekend and it is almost the next weekend anyway, so I'll just toss a few things out there: 1. Are people fired up about the baseball playoffs? Are there any compelling stories? Howard with the Phils I guess, maybe. I don't know. Maybe I'm just still bitter about the Giants, but I can't get into it. 2. Speaking of the Giants, why is no one talking about the fact that in September, with his knee finally recovered, Barry is hitting balls out like he was when he was allegedly juicing. Doesn't that cast even more doubt on the whether we should care if these guys are roiding? I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, but maybe the reasons it matters have nothing at all to do with stats or performance...at least with Bonds. 3. More great NFL matchups this weekend. I'm really looking forward to Chicago and Seattle on Sunday night. Can the Seahawks win with Hasslebeck throwing 45 times? I think we ...

August Blues August is a tough month in the world of sports. You basically have Baseball, the PGA Championship and the unfulfilled promise of football. The PGA championship is fine, but it has the downside of being golf. For me, watching golf can actually be fairly entertaining but it really requires Tiger to be in the hunt. I’m an unapologetic bandwagon Tiger fan. I don’t so much like Tiger as I enjoy his dominance. I just like watching Tiger set records and dominate the sport, so if he’s in contention golf is pretty fun, but if not…it’s just golf. So the PGA has a chance to be interesting, but you can’t really count on it. I’m a baseball fan, but mostly I’m a Giant’s fan, so like Tiger and golf, I’m mostly only interested in baseball if the Giants are good. If you follow baseball at all you know the Giants are..ummm…how should I put this….awful. That’s it, they are awful. And that would be bad enough, but to make matters worse they have this Bonds guy, maybe you’ve heard of ...
