    One thing I like about Portland is that our team seems to take back some old fogeys who used to play for us and let them retire comfortably as a Blazer. Pick three you'd like to see in the future retire as Blazers.

    Blake, Wes, and Patty.

    Blake probably will, he lives in West Linn, and just loves the Portland area. I'd love to see him be an ast. Coach or player development guy when his playing days are over.

    Wes would be bitter sweet to have finish out here. Hopefully maybe that can happen, going to be interesting to see how he returns with the Achilles.

    Was debating between Martell and Patty, but went with Patty. He's a great guy and a fan favorite, I've long forgotten what Martell was ever like. I just know he was from the PNW.

    May as well bring Blakey back for a farewell tour, Griffey style. Wes and Nic too.

    I see Damon Stoudamire just by reading his posts still has interest in this franchise. I wouldn't mind seeing the team giving him a position some place.

    Blake.

    Maybe Wes. Nobody else played here long enough or contributed enough or exemplified what it is to be a part of this team and community (well, LA fits the first two, but the way he left....).

    Yeah...I hope the Nets waive him and the Blazers immediately pick him up and then leave that alone until he retires. He loves it here. He wants to retire here. So let him...

    My 3 were easy..Channing Frye,Patty Mills, Steve Blake as an assistant coach, and Wes Mathews because I love the guy..Channing Never left Portland except to work on the road..he lives here..Blake same thing and would be a record for re-signing the same guy and Wes because he was the heart and soul of one of my favorite teams. Lamarcus home is Texas and he should retire there as a Spur, Patty is just great for the city.

    I'd rather see Randolph sign this time of year when he is around 40, then eat at an asian buffet every day until November...he could probably hit 400lbs that fast. I'd rather see that than watch an old Steve Blake play another second as a Blazer.
