    Dragic got $90mil.

    I woke up knowing Dame would get max. Then, I saw it was $120 mil and was like damn. Then I saw Dragic's deal and realized we had a steal.

    I'm curious, why do you use everyone else's last name and you call Vonleh by his first name? It confuses the hell out of me!

    I think you are all in line for a rude awakening. I never saw this great defense last year agsinst Gasol. Teams havent focused on him at all on offense. I have always said that i hope he proves me wrong. His jumper is better than i hoped it be.

    Uh huh.

    How do you like that crow? Fried, sauteed with butter or reverse seared in a nice little vinaigrette.

    I think it's obvious Neil had Aminu in his back pocket before he traded Batum.

    I'd much rather have Aminu for 7.5 than Afflalo for 12.

    Blazers are building a young, athletic, high-motor team, that frankly is better suited for the playoffs.

    I'm starting to like this Olshey guy.

    I am very pleased to get a player who can play defense. And in all honesty, if all the shit hadn't gone down that has gone down, and this was our ONLY roster move, I would probably be perfectly content. It's just pretty funny in the context of LaMacapocalipse (or whatever it's called). Come on - surely even people who like this move can see that? There are no doubt a lot of national writers mocking the Blazers about now.

    I also wish we could get a solid all-around player. We seem to be acquiring offensive OR defensive players. I like players who can do both - like Middleton and Draymond Green. The knock on Aminu has always been that he doesn't have that many actual basketball skills - just a high motor and great athleticism.

    I'd be perfectly happy without Henderson and Vonleh, actually.

    I'm just keep it simple and call him "Vitamin". Much easier. His name sounds like some sorta drug or vitamin.
