The reason Portland is going after Matthews

[memo is money]

If this is true at all, then the Hornets will be looking to unload Okafor. Here's where Boozer's trade exception may come into play it this plays out at all.

And we are dying to get him? Okafur? At that price? He is the definition of overpaid IMO. Just another lucky 7 footer.

I got it the first time.

Doubtful.

The claim that Allen only has 1 or 2 years left to live sounds like total bs to me. The survival rate for non-hodgkins lymphoma is 70% for all people and probably much higher for someone with as much money as Paul Allen. In the reports I looked up Allen says he is confident he will beat the disease. If the cancer had progressd to the point where doctors felt like death was certain then he would have weeks, maybe months left to live, not years.

Paul Allen dying? Wishful thinking. He's the ****ing Antichrist and it'll take a lot more than this **** to kill him.

this only makes sense if Portland is willing to part with Roy to get Paul, thus Wes getting those starter minutes. otherwise you cant trade Wes till like Dec 15th.

Doubtful.

No, I did. I found it amusing how he poses one example of a couple all-time greats who were renowned for their work ethic and health, as if Deron's pudgy butt will hold up just the same.

Oh, ok. So you did. That said, isn't it ironic how you call Williams pudgy, when....
