Okay, the guy who posted this at Olive did break the Rose Garden deal before it happened as he said, I was there. He also is not one who "touts" his inside info or ever throws out a bunch of crapola hoping something sticks - so take it FWIW. I am thinking CHI or Char as most likely.
Here goes:

"A buddy who knows some folks emailed the following information.

Trade will be announced by 3PM if the team accepts KP's offer.

It is an Eastern team that is currently outside of the playoffs. It will involve a SF and PG. The team that the offer is on the table for plays tonight. KP wants to get the deal done today to avoid any injury issues.

Believe me or not. I want to remind you that I was about an hour ahead of PA announcing his purchase of the RG.

That said, the ball is in the other team's court, so nothing is for sure"

To further delve into this fantasy, here is what we know:

Its an Eastern Conference team
Its a SF and PG
Raef's contract will be involved

I emailed my friend to confirm the 3pm is EST, he said yes.
On top of that the Blazers are also looking to block a move by Houston with a non-playoff Western conference team. They don't want Houston solving the T-Mac situation.

So Portland wants Jefferson?

I think Portland thinks it's a contender (but isn't) and thinks it will solidify its status by adding Jefferson or Carter (which it won't)

I think outlaw is as effective as jefferson is now..... Outlaw is a black hole but he is a better shooter than jefferson, who has looked very average without kidd spoon feeding him the rock..
