    Lots of little rumors and knowledge bombs out there that don't really deserve their own thread.

    TRAITOR! Wasn't someone talking about a theoretical where Drexler sold us out the other day?

    Also I heard LBJ/LeBron/Wade were signing with our SL team. Just a little fuel for the SL championship dream fire.

    Yes, I have lowered my expectations why do you ask?

    ESPN FWIW says Blazers are going after David Lee.

    If I were a betting woman I'd bet ALL the rumors are false.

    Drexler Drive at the Rose Quarter, gone!

    We should rename it honor of KP.

    David Aldridge said the same thing last night on NBAtv. Basically that they were so close last summer, that he thinks something will get done this summer

    I would do a Camby for a David Lee sign and trade in a NY minute.

    Even though he's old Camby would work well in a D'Antoni offense.

    So, let's see; if we construct a 3-way trade, so we send LaMarcus to a team that needs a proven PF, and that team sends a young blue-chip prospect (probably a SG) to New Orleans, and we sweeten the pot for New Orleans with expirings/picks/rights/bench guys/whatever, and we get Chris Paul; then we replace LaMarcus with Lee, but how do we do that sign-and-trade?

    Then what? Run Lee and LMA as a mini-twin-towers? That would be a huge downgrade on defense. :dunno:

    LMA isn't that mini, he's as tall as Camby and an inch shorter than Oden.

    He doesn't protect the rim like either of those two, though.

    All LMA needs is for the Blazers to hire Barry Bonds to be his personal trainer. He has the physical gifts, he just needs a little of the clear and cream to get the 'roid rage goin'.

    You know if being tall is all there was to being good and playing tough D, he would be an all star. But it isn't, and he isn't.
