OK, I'll get right to it. I've gotten you guys prepared well for what might or might not happen today, so I don't think I have to be too wordy here.
You know where we stand as far as what we'd like to get accomplished, and what backup plans we have hopes to get taken care of if possible. So, you know where we stand with all that.
You know I can't get into names as well, from past experiences ...so, no sense in anyone going down that road.
But, I guess a good place to start is what has happened throughout the league and where that leaves us. The Brad Miller deal was a bad thing for us, in that we had hopes of getting Camby and Salmons.. We were hoping trade attempts on Miller would fall flat and we would end up sitting there waiting to pounce. So, with that trade going down, it ended our chances at getting Camby somehow. Putting teo and two together without knowing all the specifics involved, a three way trade had to have been in play.
The other item of note was the trade that got rescinded. That happening reopened a couple doors that had just been closed. So, some possiblities still exist in that picture.
And, I believe we may have contacted the Bulls just to see if they were content to stand pat after their deals yesterday. Not sure if that lead anywhere or not.
We still have a number of conversations going on with a number of different teams. What has to happen in order for us to make a deal work for us, is either we, or the other parties of interest have to come off the stances they've taken up til this point.
From our standpoint, in most cases that means putting JJ Hickson out there for the taking, on the other side, it might take them dropping JJ from their demands and accepting a number 1 pick instead.
But, of course it gets alot more complicated than just that, but that's the basic ABC's of the situation as it stands now.
No deals are in place yet, and positions and stances being taken up til now have to change in order for the pieces to fall into place for a deal for us.
For the first time I really felt some dejection yesterday. Don't know what all it meant, but, it appears we thought we had something big ready to happen yesterday, and it all blew up in their face. Left some people in the GM office down...
We'll see what takes place, I have no feel for where today could take us. I'm prepared for anything, and you all should be as well. That means the possiblity that we go into the second half of the season with the same team as the first half.
I've gotta head out to Independence. I've got some things I have to get accomplished out there. I'm hoping to get back at some point ..but not sure it will be before the 3pm deadline. But, I'll take the laptop with me.
