    Depending on the order of signings and what they were, we might have 4+ million still

    That strategy didn't work so well with Jermaine O'Neal.

    No argument there. I was just addressing the question of whether our young bids would be a reason that we wouldn't want to sign him, not whether he would want to sign here. I would be shocked if he came to Portland.

    Minnesota, Nikola Pekovic getting closer on a four-year, $50 million contract extension, league sources tell Y! Sports.

    They would have matched any deal we offered. Why piss them off more than normal?

    4 years, $50 million for Pekovic. T-Wolves bidding against themselves....I think?

    Yeah... I liked Pek a bit last season but he's not the burly defensive stalwart we wanted out of that kind of money.

    So, you're saying you were entertained by the dixpix.

    Interesting.

    Apparently Minnesota sent Luke Ridnour to the Bucks and have thus cleared space to re-sign Corey Brewer.

    Revisionist history. For one thing, Jermaine dominated in practice (by all accounts). Has Leonard done that?

    For another: Jermaine was given his chance. He started for stretches when the other bigs were out, and flopped. He needed a change of scenery and a coach in Isiah Thomas who was prepared to pamper his ego and treat him like the best player on the team. But I always thought he was overrated even in the short window when he was putting up big numbers.

    He wasn't healthy very long but he was the best player on the team with the best record in the league. The Blazers were a lottery team.

    Trail Blazers have scheduled a 2 PM press conference for Thursday. Assumption is that all players recently acquired will be introduced.

    I was entertained by the trolls. I never saw a dick pic last year because I don't have pics show up automatically, I have to click the link.

    I was entertained by them, and I never saw a single one. You guys were a hoot, and the TimberTrolls were too. :)
