    They had him on ESPN radio. He said some value was high.

    All I think of would be creatinine which would indicate a kidney issue, but it means nothing with one test. If you haven't had enough water for a couple days are dehydrated, your creatinine will be elevated. (sorry, i'm a med student)

    Portland gets a Center with the 36th pick. So, is the trade for Arthur true or not?

    God damnit. The trade better still go through.

    But the trade makes sense for us. We need a backup C.

    I'm just glad that he said Houston is on one of the list of teams he'd play for even though he thought we wouldn't select him, and that he wants to play right away.

    Its on ESPN's draft blog...

    http://myespn.go.com/nba/truehoop
    "Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress reports: "I was just informed by the Trailblazers that Nicolas Batum was traded by Houston to Portland in exchange for the rights to Darrell Arthur and one of Portland's early second round picks." Chad Ford confirms he has heard the same thing, and the second-round pick that is in the deal is the 33rd, which was Memphis big man Joey Dorsey."

    Well maybe we can get rid of Head and move up the draft? Here's hoping.
