I'm liking the movement off the ball too - something the blazers have sorely lacked the last few years is a guy on the wing who knows how to dive to the rim. Hendo appears to have that knack and timing (understanding that these are highlights)

I've played a bit of it single player, not sure whether it has multi from memory. It was a bit of fun, but really is just a press and simulate game. Cap and contract management side of it was fun, but you literally have 0 control over the way the team performs. You can have the best team by far...

I agree - the minutes for the young guys have to be there, but not gifted. To start the season, assuming the roster were to stay as it is: Dame / Frazier Henderson / CJ / Pat Aminu / Crabbe / Harkless Leonard / Vonleh Plumlee / Davis / Kaman Hopefully with improved games, by the break I would...

Agreed. Portland could with a bit of luck could have a breakout player on the roster already. Their profile isn't significantly different - Lillard #6 Aminu #8 Vonleh #9 McCollum #10 Leonard #11 Henderson #12 Davis #13 Plumlee #22 Lot of lottery picks right there. Also...looks like we need a #7...

This. The draft is a crapshoot. Who is to say we don't already have a player as young and talented on the roster as we are likely to pick up in the lottery at the end of the year. Being crap does not guarantee you get better. Oden. Derrick Williams. No guarantees

I LOVED reading this. A little bit of joy in a long week. At least now CP3's constant whining has a legitimate reason. Eat shit CP3. You deserve it.

I would hope not. He seems to be getting somewhere with Meyers. I hope for Hughes' sake that LMA was already out the door, and that his words don't contribute.

Does anybody think we are a realistic chance to sign Monroe if LMA is gone? Honest question.

I would say none of those things in an interview with Aldridge.

I see your point - good example. But I would say that in order to lie you have to know your real intentions or the truth at that point. When I married my wife, I swore that I would never cheat on her - that was and always will be my intention. If I then cheat, did I lie back then, or did I...

True. It certainly seemed like he thought he would get his chance. Some of RoLo's minutes would definately go to Plumlee too. My point was that may have been his sincere intention then. He may have changed his mind over the last 12 months, it happens. I don't think that makes him a liar, just...

Love the optimism Wook....but even you must concede that interview did not look at all good. It wasn't just the Hughes statements, to me clearly Leonard's comments suggested he expected a significant increase in minutes this year. The timing of the interview is the worst part of this for me. If...

I for one, remain hopeful. Fat lady hasn't sung just yet - LMA is at least giving us the last opportunity to convince him to stay. As for Olshey, even if LMA leaves I don't see ow we can pin that all on him. We don't know that if Aldridge has told him he is going, so as far as I'm concerned...

Really hope this guy can stick with the team. I like his skill set, hustle and energy and I think he can be a rotation guy down the track.

I like the idea. Not sure on all the figures, but I really like the team, and I think it is attainable. Hibbert is a gamble, but it is only for a year to see how it goes. If it works, great, otherwise at least you gave it shot. I also think that this is the type of guy LMA wants around him...
