Freeman has been tweeting a lot of his interview with Stotts today. Here are some highlights Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Stotts says the #Blazers starting lineup entering camp will be: Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, LA and J.J. Hickson. Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Stotts arrived in Portland Aug. 30 and has been impressed with what he has seen during voluntary workouts organized by Aldridge. Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Stotts seems particularly impressed with rookie PG Damian Lillard. Stotts: "What he did in Las Vegas wasn’t a fluke. He’s very talented." Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Stotts said Adam Morrison isn't just coming to training camp for show. He will be given a chance to make the #Blazers regular season roster. Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Stotts on Morrison: "He wouldn’t be here if he didn’t have a legitimate chance to make the team. He’s had a bumpy start to his career, but he’s a talented player who can put the ball in the basket. He’s going to have every opportunity to make the team." Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Stotts was not in the gym when SG Elliot Wiliams tore his achilles tendon, but said it sounds like it was just a freak injury. Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Stotts on Williams' injury: "There wasn't any contact. It was just one of those things where he made a quick move and tore the achilles." Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman The loss of Williams is significant for the #Blazers, obviously, as he was set to get most of the backup playing time at SG. Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Without Williams, Stotts is mulling his rotation options. But one thing Stotts will look at is giving Batum more backup SG minutes. Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Another lineup Stotts wants to look at is playing Ronnie Price and Damian Lillard on floor together, offering a two-PG look.
You guys just don't know how badly I was hoping that MM bumped his own old thread. Oh dear, that would have been too much..... FUCK!!! Lol
