BREAKING NEWS: COLLINS TO PORTLAND?
Rumors are swirling around the NBA of a possible blockbuster trade that would send Jason Collins to Portland for Jamal Magloire. When asked about this trade Collins said, "This is the only team I've been on, the only team I've known." He stated several times he does not want to leave New Jersey. Other big men Melvin Ely, Brendon Haywood, and Anderson Varejao have also been mentioned in connection with New Jersey.
This is the moment we've all been waiting for. Every year the Nets pretend to be interested in replacing Collins with the likes of Chris Wilcox and Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Now they are getting our hopes up again with this most likely false trade rumor that is part of the Collins Conspiracy. A couple of things strike me from this.
1) When was the last time Collins was actually asked to comment on a basketball related issue. He probably had not seen a reporter for months before one accidentally bumped into him and felt the obligation to ask him for the eloquent 13 word statement he delivered.
2) Why in the world would Portland have any interest in Jason Collins? In two games this season, Collins has combined for 5 points and 9 fouls against the Blazers. If performances like those sparked Portland's interest in anyway they should automatically be contracted from the league.
3) Of course Collins doesn't want to leave the Nets. If he went anywhere else in the league, he'd play about five minutes a night. A word of advice to Mr. Rod Thorn. Don't listen to Jason Collins. We've gone through with your little cruel joke for too long now. Enough is enough.
