Dude, it was joke. Nothing more, nothing less. I was making fun of Portland as well as the posters that use "little brother" in the BYU, Utah threads. Thanks for hitting me over the head with the knowledge and let my put you in place stick though.

I'm so confused...

This is just another condition of the horribleness of the thing called Kirilenko. His contract is just killing this franchise. From what I've read, if it weren't for his contract we'd have a lot more power in the FA world today. Anyone know if we could be playing in the FA game this summer had Kirilenko's contract been dumped a year or so ago? Could we currently be going after bigtime FAs lke Bosh, Lebron, Wade, etc?

I'd like to know what caused Portland to hate the Jazz, it seems more agressive than just competition between division rivals. Was it something personal between LHM & Allen? I seem to remember when portland threatened legal action against every team in the league if someone signed Darius Miles --LHM said something about not liking threats, of course no-one does but maybe there is more to that story.

I wish I believed in karma.

Maybe it is karma. After all, the Jazz were complicit in helping a certain PF screw over a blind guy.
 
It's a documented fact that the Portland Trail Blazers and gingers don't have souls.

Well, we'd be pretty darn close. It would have just taken some minor moves to get far enough under to have a MAX slot available. But seriously, do you really think Amare, Lebron or Wade would come to Utah? Bosh maybe...he has a pretty good friendship with Deron. Well, we did get Boozer. Guess he preferred Utah over Denver. That's something. We got Okur because we were willing to throw more money at him than anyone else.
 
As long as we are near the cap Portland will continue to step on our throats. Of course they don't need Matthews they are 4 deep at the wing position. He would be buried behind Roy, Batum, Fernandez, and their draft pick Babbitt.
