    My goodness. Hats off to Neil Olshey. What an amazing job he has done this summer. Remarkable.

    I thought we could save 1.5 mil by waiving him and spreading it out for 4 years?

    LeBron has his "other" home in Oregon? Alright!

    Mo Williams and Earl Watson, his Jazz backup last season, complemented each other's talents. See the per-36 section. Williams shot a lot more shots per minute, and better percentages. But Watson was better per minute in all other stats. Watson is 3 1/2 years older, 10 pounds heavier, and the better defender. Stotts will put in Watson when he needs defense.

    By definition, if he signs with us, he isn't. "The Blazers don't sign quality free agents" is an analytic truth.

    No seriously, If CJ can't play a lick of PG the guy is dead weight.

    Well let's see you have Lillard, Watson, Crabbe, Mathews, Barton and Batum who could slide to SG. Where is CJ going to play.

    I follow #RipCity on twitter and Mo Williams has been getting tweets welcoming him to PDX all day and those are just the ones I see with #RipCity in them not including the ones without and there have been dozens and dozens of them. This guy has got to be feeling the PDX love already. Its nice to see.

    The Blazers traded you to Utah for him.

    Enjoy Salt Lake City!

    Just as long as he doesn't do a Felton and fall in love with Voodoo Donuts.

    Another Olshey move that snuck up on us. Where there's fire there doesn't always have to be smoke. I like that.

    Oh, don't go getting HCP all excited with visions of multiple sister-wife Mrs. HCPs running bare-assed naked through his head.

    Wow. From string, saw dust, and duct tape one year into a pretty impressive bench unit the next. Olshey is the freaking MacGuyver of NBA talent.

    You'd have to seriously sweeten that deal to get Utah to take him.
