    I know everyone hoped it could have ended better, but there's no denying that these guys were two of the most exciting Blazers in recent memory. We're just half a season removed from GER-ALD WALL-ACE and two seasons from MAR-CUS CAM-BY

    Oh well. I wish both of them well, both good guys, and I hope Wallace can leave that god awful New Jersey franchise before too long.

    Wallace was a pretty big disappointment for me. I happily hope he runs the Nets into the ground so we improve our draft position.

    He's gonna opt out and return to PDX! You didn't know that already?!

    He is our double agent.

    Step 1.) trade to jersey for first rounder * check

    Step 2.) help keep the team from winning more * check

    Step 3.) talk the ear off of d will saying how awesome Portland is. * check

    Step 4.) leave team in ruins and come back to Portland with d will * check

    Loved Gerald's energy when he was into the game... too bad it was just last season and then the first half of this season in home games.

    I think Camby was a nice vet for Aldridge to learn from. Their names were chanted by the RG crowd for a reason... but they either were getting real old or just stopped caring, which was not fun to see.

    Sorry to see 2 proven players and a coach made scapegoats for a couple of newbies we're still stuck with.

    Gerald and Marcus gave us some great moments. I'm particularly sad to see Crash go. He was so much fun to watch flying around out there (at home).

    I used to have respect for them before they quit.

    Quitters.

    Good riddance.

    You think they got worse on purpose? McMillan trying to be something he is not, a fast break coach, had nothing to fo with it?
