<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I dropped by the locked-down Trail Blazers practice facility this week and found all but three members of the team working out. It goes down as Thursday's column in The Oregonian. Maybe you're surprised that 12 members of the league's youngest team were present. Maybe you're not. But when you take a good look around the league, you understand that a wholesale early-arrival movement is a rare thing. Joel Przybilla, Raef LaFrentz and Sergio Rodriguez were the absentees. Rodriguez, playing in the Euro Championships, gets a pass. I'm told Przybilla is around and will show anytime now. But I'd be surprised if LaFrentz, a 14-year vet, showed up five weeks early, so don't get your hopes up for 100-percent attendance.</div> Source: Oregon Live
LaFrentz is a 9 year vet, not 14.. the guy is only 31. It just seems like he has been around forever, because it's been a long time since hes had a real productive season.
