http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2008/10/blazers_banking_on_a_highyield.html This article got my attention. I have been wondering about how Nate would address this for months now. When I started to read it and began to understand what it was about, I got real excited to the point that I closed my office door so I would not be disturbed. I would have loved to be a fly on that wall. It was a huge dinner for these guys. Sounds like Nate planned it perfectly.
I wish this dinner had stayed private. Some things don't need to be known outside of the huddle. Read the rest and realize the Oden is a bit submissive. Perhaps a good thing, but the man has talent and he needs to assert himself.
They did not give out that much detail. What was important is that Management is very aware of problems that can arise from jealousness. They have seen it with other teams. It was good to see they are addressing it early on. These three guys are all intellegent, and with the right support cast they will hopefully stay grounded. Do not let their friends, family, and agents get in their heads. This is their team.
