I love Blazers Edge. I have been lurking around here for almost 2 years now. It is always the place I go to first to check up on Blazer news and to read the various opinions of other Blazer fans like myself. In the last year I have participated a little more by adding a comment or two here and there. Most of these comments are usually sarcastic or very short but I look at is as dipping my toe in the water before I jump in.

I have never written a Fanpost before, and I hate that this is my first one. I am absolutely annoyed beyond belief of all the trade speculation in the fanpost area. I look on the left sidebar and I see 8 out of 10 fanposts about trades. Although Dave has tried the Trade Drawer it obviously is not working. There are fans joining the site today to post their trade proposal, often times a proposal that has been proposed upwards of 25 times.

Like I said before I hate that this is my first fanpost, but I just have to vent about this. I can’t wait until Feb. 19. I CAN’T WAIT. Why? Because I miss my site. I miss our site. I miss the discussion about the players we have progressing, instead of discussing the players we have as valuable trade assets. I don’t mind speculation, every fan does it, but enough is enough people. Let the front office handle the trades and we can keep enjoying being fans.

I apologize if this comes off as an attack. It’s not. It’s only frustration manifesting itself in a fanpost.

I honestly do love this site very much and I hope once the deadline passes we can go back to the great conversations we had before the mad rush of trade proposals.

Feb. 19 can come no sooner

GO BLAZERS!
