I wonder would the Blazers take Bass, Melo and #1 for Hickson?

I would become a fan of any team / GM that takes BBs contract off of our hands!

Wow! No Cs news of any kind out there, other than minor grumblings!
This means one of two things, there is nothing happening, OR DA has a deal or deals in the works!

DA, if you do not make major changes, dont compound the pending problem by mortgaging the teams future! This means dont trade Melo for a complimentary piece!!

I am copying & pasting this here from my post" Small Ball ain't gonna cut it " !!!
Last night I heard announcers saying many times our team is too small. Yup, I realize that w/o a true Center & a true rebounder, we need out hustle other teams to win & shoot 45-50% & play good "D". Unfortunately, at Denver the 5000 ft altitude slowed us down & then the next night needing to play in the emotional Staples night tribute to Buss was too much to overcome.
BUT, THE FACT IS THAT WE HAVE NOT DOMINATED OR BROKEN EVEN IN THE REBOUNDING CATEGORY FOR YEARS. Vs Denver we were 45-39 so -6 and vs LA we were 45-34 for -15. Needless to say these are 2nd chance shot opportunities. Yup, I know too that we were -10 pts in foul shots(22-12) but being tired we grabbed.
DA needs to make some kind of miracle trade to get us a BIG MAN like Cousins of Sac/Seattle or we will be fighting for an 8th spot playoff & probably get knocked out in the first round. And if we need trade Rondo to do it, so be it !!! A good big man is more important than a PG, I think. This way we keep KG & PP and let them retire in Green & have a chance for a ring too if we got Cousins or maybe even Gortat. Nice to pick up JJ Redick too.

We just need to dump Bass ASAP. How does your starting PF only get 2 rebs last night. Heck Terry had 4 himself.

Looks like Telfair is not coming to Boston according to ESPN Insider.
The Toronto Raptors are looking to upgrade the backup point guard position and reportedly they have targeted one in the West.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports: "Toronto has emerged as the frontrunner to land Suns guard Sebastian Telfair in a trade."
Telfair is on the books for $1.56 million and Toronto could send Hamed Haddadi ($1.3 million) or John Lucas ($1.5 million), along with cash or a second round pick back to the Suns.
