Tom Penn was the mastermind behind the z-bo trade. The salary cap wizard noticed the trade exception which could only be acheived by trading 3 for 2. he gained the team an extra 3 million dollars to acquire james jones from the suns, a steal. the original trade sent webster and z-bo to ny but keeping the ever improving webster to send out dickau and jones got them james jones as well. big ups to penn, i am glad we have that saint of a man!

Predictions say that Jason Kapono could be interested in playing for the Blazers or the nuggets. hopefully he goes to denver. sure the 3 point shot looks good, when it doesnt matter. he makes 3s at will until crunch time when he implodes and cant make a clutch shot. he is a waste of cap space and bench space. he never hit a buzzer beater all year. the leagues best 3 shooter % wise. monta ellis made two in one week. Portland needs big shot bob. somebody who can sit the whole game until called upon with 3 seconds left. i have a feeling that portland will have a lot of close games this year.
