    I know what you mean. I took a nap this rainy, moody morning, with full confidence that one of these aircraft carrier-slow ignoramuses would finally merge the threads in my absence. When I awoke, I eagerly warmed up the vacuum tubes, impatient for my computer screen to alight. How flabbergasted I was to discover that in the biggest oversight of the new millennium, rivaling the previous one's having to repeat Leif Ericcson's discovery, no busy moderator had found the put-down-your-Frito-bag time to merge the threads. Disgusting.

    He explained it in the article. If Felton played well, the team wouldn't have blown up the team and traded Wallace.

    Pretty much. Kinda embarrassing to have two of the same # retired. If the first # was so good and had to be retired, it should have been done before the other dude got it.

    I shudder to think of another situation where we pass on a PG in the draft because of our perceived PGotF. Sebastian Telfair all over again if we would have kept Felton and passed on Lillard. (Maybe not so much but still)

    Petteri Koponen is directly related to Eric the Red.

    Right, Quick. You're clearly not over him, and you clearly have made this personal. What a joke of an article.

    Regardless, he's far more "over it" than Ray. He's not even a top-tier PG, and even national writers are calling him out on his behavior on his return to PDX.

    The national media get their opinions from local media.

    I've never read 2 writers who are as much jackasses as Quick and Canzano. Not even close.

    I've said it before--the Oregonian wants to own the team without paying for it. They get mad when their orders aren't obeyed. In 40 years and 3 NBA markets (Los Angeles, Seattle, here), I've never read NBA writers with egos like this.

    I agree, can't stand either one and it's a shame the national media feeds off of their shit. They are so unprofessional and usually have a axe to grind in their stories and only tells the part that they are on instead both sides of the story.
