    If someone could just slap the shit out of him until he changed his jump shot form, he'd be a perrenial all-star.

    This is why I hope Kaman becomes a coach for us; he'd do exactly that.

    I hate that you can never hear the questions at press conferences. I don't get why they don't make that possible.

    I give up. Keeps freezing on me. When I refresh, I have to watch a commercial every time. Conspiracy theory, incoming. ;)

    Never heard such a short presser for introducing a new player.

    Seriously wonder if the PR staff preemptively muzzled the media into focusing on the Evan signing.

    Even our inept Portland sports media is not that stupid to let Neil get off that easy about our FA moves.

    was good to hear that he knows he is going to need to work for his position in the rotation.
    he mentioned playing with plums and crabbe so perhaps neil and stotts have told him those two will for sure be here.

    and lastly, that was quite the gangster high five with neil at the end there.

    No questions allowed is my guess. Probably would have got a ton of Comcast questions

    Neil said two things that I mentioned immediately on the 1st that were obvious, the need for a 3rd ball handler so we did not have to rely on Mason being the one to help out Dame and CJ, and that part of measuring Evan's value will be how much he helps others play better.

    Neil also probably said something he didn't mean to let out.

    "....we are a much stronger team with Farouq at the '4. We translate out to a 53-54 win team."
