No Trades!

NO TRADES!

Listen to me Mr. Pritchard, you have to know when to hold'em and know when to trade'em. There are rumors abounding regarding a trade involving Dallas and New Jersey that would also include Portland. A trade during this season is NOT a good idea.

You have managed to put together a TEAM that is not only playing well, but they have become the darlings of Portland. Trailblazer fans have fallen in love with this team! Let us enjoy it for a while. Please don't start tweaking things. "Ripcity" may be back but it is fragile. If you start trading away pieces of this team now, you will tick fans off and you could throw us right back where we were last year.

We're "there" Mr. Pritchard, let it alone and let it grow. Nobody is complaining, everyone is happy. It's time to stand pat.

If you trade any of these guys that have busted their tails for you and for the fans now, I am going to be very angry. I don't think I will be alone.

Include Travis in a deal? You do that and you will upset a lot of fans. We have what all the other teams want and that is OK. Let them drool. There is NO ONE out there we need except Greg Oden. Guess what? He's already ours!

Please Mr. Pritchard, have a heart and leave the team alone. Let us enjoy them. Use your best poker face and HOLD'EM!

GO BLAZERS!
