    Outlaw was fortunate to have a coach who let him be a true offense-orientated 6th man for a 54-win team. It made Travis a rich man on his next contract, when is obvious flaws were exposed on lesser teams with lesser coaches.

    I'm still smarting from that John Diebler jersey I bought at the start of summer league.

    I'm really pumped about this kid. I think he's going to end up being the best point guard in Blazer history.

    Can't wait for the season to start!!

    I hope so, but he's got a ways to go to measure up to TP.

    I think he's just being realistic. He won't be able to win a title until he goes to Miami or the Lakers.

    He's already a better passer than Porter, in my opinion. I'll bet he turns out to be a better shooter, as well.

    I like the kid and I'm hopeful he'll do well, but c'mon now.

    somebody has been hitting the sauce. Take it easy shooter, your live won't last long enough to see him win a play off series.
