    I figure we're going to try to move both mutineers (Crawford and Felton) in addition to Wallace. You can't have them sticking around, period.

    I have a feeling you're right. And . . . suddenly . . . I'm excited about the Blazers again!

    I'm at least excited about the draft, and about the younglings playing the rest of the season... if they cap it off by firing Nate when they return from the road trip, it'll be perfect*

    *as perfect as a shit sandwich could get, anyway.

    To stay interested all I need to see is progress ... clearing the malcontents is a good first step. Step 2 has to do with Nate ... Step 3 Larry and Paul.

    Agree on Steps 1 and 2. Though I like McMillan, I think it's probably time for a coaching change. I don't have as much of a problem with ownership and management. These moves today tell me that the Blazer organization "gets it."

    And now Camby is gone . . . Wow. We may look back on the New York debacle last night as a turning point in Blazer history. :)

    Apparently the other GM's figured out who to call at the Blazer's front office.

    Portland should have been "open for business" a month ago when there was higher value for some of these pieces. Dammit.

    And the Howard opt-in opened the door for Jersey to be desperate enough to trade their pick. months ago, they would have laughed at the notion.

    So who are we going to waive? We were at 15, and traded 2 for 4. Probably CJ and GO? Thabeet?
